Renovations at Roots Need a little more training room?  How about 1200 additional square feet?  We are pleased to announce that we have taken over the space that once was the West End Salon. Roots will be open throughout the renovations; however, classes may move to a local park for 3-4 days.  We will communicate any class location changes via our website, Facebook, email, and notices posted on the door. Please check the website regularly and prior to attending class for class location changes.

Deadlift 5-5-5-5-5 reps Big Ups to Wednesday Big ups to everyone who came in yesterday for the front squat/pull-up/double under workout.  We saw some NICE front squats, attention to detail in warm-up, and a solid balance between form and intensity during the workout.  We also saw many people feeding off of the collective suckfest and pushing a little bit harder to the end.  Strong work.
