TXT PROGRAMMING
9/08/25 - 9/13/25
STRENGTH WEEK: #1
HEY TXT Community!!
Our strengths this week will be longer time and our WOD’s will be shorter. I’m trying to maximize our time focusing on strength. The warm up times will be shorter too.
We are BACK to week one of our strength calendar. And we all know what that means, volume & tempo movements plus speed & cardio in our metcons (metabolic conditioners.)
Have a wonderful week!
Christa
p.s. the 6 week challenge has begun!!

TXT PROGRAMMING
08/04/25-08/09/25
STRENGTH WEEK: #6
Hey TXT Crew,
Get ready! This week’s workouts are all about building serious strength! 
We’ve made some exciting updates to your programming: the strength sections in every class are now longer and more focused. You’ll spend more time dialing in form, pushing heavier weights, and developing solid, functional strength.
Each class still includes mobility, a smart warm-up, a power-packed strength section, and a sweaty, fun WOD to finish strong. Whether you’re new to lifting or working on hitting new PRs, this is your chance to grow.
 Mark your calendars! BEACH TXT is back starting Friday, August 8th at 5:30pm!
We’ll meet at the Live Oak TXT Room and head down to the beach together.
Expect good vibes, sweat, sunshine, and that unbeatable TXT community energy.
Bring water, a towel, and your beach beast mode. 

Let’s have a strong week!
