Our Grand Opening workout  will be done in a “Fight Gone Bad” format with a few tweaks of the exercises. Below is the explanation for the WOD as well as the exercises.

In this workout you move from each of five stations after a minute. This is a five-minute round from which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. Three total rounds. The stations are:

1. Wall-ball: 20 pound ball, 10 ft target. (Reps)
2. Tire Flips: (Reps)
3. Kettlebell Swings: 1.5 pood (Reps)
4. Sumo deadlift high-pull: 75 pounds (Reps)
5. Double Unders (Reps)

The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. On call of “rotate,” the athlete/s must move to next station immediately for good score. One point is given for each rep.
