Open Competitors: Get your scores in tonight by 8pm.

Strength Class Cancellations: March 28, 29 & 31; April 4 & 5th. Team PrettySTRONG is heading to Savannah for the Georgia Spring Open at CrossFit Hyperformance the first weekend in April. Vanessa & Becci are looking to take some state records in their weight classes.

In December, CFSQ rallied for “CrossFit for Costello.” We had a huge turnout and raised a ton of money. The Costello Family is throwing another event this weekend and we’re all going…so should you! For those of you unfamiliar with the reason for this event, Barry Costello – a beloved member of the Cobb County community, suffered a massive stroke that left him paralyzed on his right side and unable to speak. He has been diagnosed with aphasia which means while he can understand everything going on around him, he has a hard time forming words. Barry has already made great strides in his recovery, but speech and physical therapy are not cheap and that’s where you step in! Thanks so much to everyone who has contributed so far! We still have about $6,000 to raise, and can use all the help we can get. We’re calling on CFSQ members to come together again, spend a little time together outside the gym and support a fantastic family in our community. And, we’ll reward everyone the next day with a big ole BBQ as we close down the 2014 CrossFit Open.
