Ah, yeah! If we’re quoting the patron saint, it can only mean one thing… CrossFit Austin’s annual “Circle of Awesomeness Challenge” is just around the corner. 2012 is here, so it’s time once again to crank things up to 11! Just like Neon Deion said, looking good, feeling good, and playing good is the motto around these parts, but sometimes we need a goal and proper motivation to keep us inside the “awesome.” So, once again, we are excited to present the Circle of Awesomeness Challenge (from January 28th – March 10)!
The COA Challenge consists of 3 Primary Competitions over the course of 8 Weeks (January 28th-March 10th):
Fitness Challenges:
Challengers will be tested and retested in 3 different categories of fitness challenges. Each catagory is comprised of 3 tests, for a total of 9 tests.
The categories are:
Each test will be scored on initial top performance as well as most -improved on all tests. The tests will be announced on Jamuary 28th at the Challenge Kick off.
The initial test will be on the following days:
Saturday 1/28: Tests 1 & 2
Tuesday 1/31: Tests 3,4, & 5
Thurday 2/2: Tests 6 & 7
Saturday 2/4: Tests: 8 & 9
*You will be able to make up any and all tests if you can’t make it to the gym on these days. However, it will decrease your total training time between tests.
Nutritional and Body Composition Challenges:
Challengers will be tested and retested on body composition and nutritional accountability. Challengers will be scored for most improvement in the body comp score and best adherence to nutritional and lifestyle guidelines, as set forth in the initial Challenge Kick Off Seminar on Saturday, January 28th.

A message from Leah: Each week, you will be guided through a series of challenging poses to open our hips, shoulders, hearts…bodies. I encourage you to gather up the courage to step onto the mat if you have never tried yoga. All you need is a mat, a towel and water!
