Hey everyone! Jamaica Plain CrossFit has opened their home programming and Zoom classes to all in hopes of making physical wellness more accessible to everyone during this time. Some things to know...
1) No experience/equipment required! Coaches have been programming workouts with normal things you can find in your home and can help you learn the basic movements involved over Zoom!
2) JPCF is an inclusive, non-judgmental community.
3) Classes are free, but if you decide to stick around donations are warmly welcomed.

Message Denise if you are interested!

Stay happy and healthy!

Now, you can knit, color, draw, play Catan, build with Legos or Play-Doh, bounce around on an exercise ball, and lots more! Sometimes we all need a little productive procrastination!
