Crossfit_for_Costello_2

Huge thanks to everyone that came out for the CFSQ Holiday Party!! It was an overwhelming success with nearly one hundred guests, soon to be 200 #cfsqholiday13 posts on Facebook and Instagram, surprise appearance from Santa, and the most EPIC toast ever! Special thanks to the organizing committee: Jade, Yessi, Lyndzey, Ben & Jess. We are so grateful that Ben & Jess allowed the entire CFSQ family into their home. Finally, a quick shout to the contestants of the #cfsqholiday13 scavenger hunt: Mitzi, Rachel, the Levine Sisters, and Lyndzey and to everyone subject to their requests: THANK YOU! We look forward to outdoing ourselves next year!

While we decked the Turners’ halls, Team PrettyStrong was busy ringing the PR bell at the Biggest Deadlift in the South meet in Lithia Springs! Congratulations to J, Becci & Amanda!!

This Saturday, CFSQ will host a charity event for Barry Costello. Barry is the father of Carly Costello. Carly came to CFSQ just before being commissioned as an officer in the Air Force. Carly sought us out to prepare for the physical test she was about to face in school. For several Saturdays leading up to the test, Carly would do the daily workout followed by one-on-one training and testing with Mario & I. She easily passed the PT test and graduated from basic officer training. The Costello’s are dear friends of Lea and Molly. Lea was Carly’s maid of honor on November 3 and Lea’s roommate took Carly’s job at CNN. We had the pleasure of watching Barry dance with Carly at her wedding. Please join us in helping give Barry his voice back this Saturday at 10:00am.

*9:30 & 10:30 am classes are cancelled for this event.
