We kick off the benchmark series this Thursday from 5-7 with a classic – Angie.  Remember the Benchmark Series is a month-long Thursday night event for athletes to come in and throw down on the shop-selected Benchmark Workouts.  So, make it a date night, bring the family to watch and hangout, or just sneak away for an extra workout.
