COMING SOON...TYGER RIVER CROSSFIT
There will be a new sister affiliate (Tyger River CrossFit) opening down in Duncan here in a few weeks. Scott and Nicole will be kicking things off down there on 11MAR2013 and they'll host a grand opening event shortly thereafter. TRCF will be housed by a 5,000 sq. ft. facility located right off of HWY 290. Again, just to clarify (and kill the rumor monster), this will be a sister affiliate...meaning Scott and Nicole are and will always be a part of Team CFS, Nicole will continue coaching and training at CFS, Scott will continue coaching and training at CFS, we'll roll to competitions/events together, we'll use most of the same programming, and athletes from each gym will have access to both affiliates. Get ready, this is going to be pretty awesome.

NEW CFS ATHLETES - INDOC CLASS 13-02
Welcome in our new batch of 13 CFS athletes from Indoc Class 13-02. This group consisted of some former/current military dudes, ex-college athletes, a highway patrolman, a dock builder, the lead groundsman at Wofford and a couple of Wofford students. Another awesome group and they can be a bit mouthy (especially those 4 chicas to the left) so when you see any new faces from this group in the gym make sure you head over and intro yourself. Welcome to the best gym in Spartanburg!
