Programming Sneak Peek (2/2-2/8)

Happy Sunday Bell City!

📅Welcome to the first week of February!

You have gotten 2026 off to a fantastic start! Keep up the great work!

‍

💪This week marks the midway point of our 12 week strength cycle for Back Squats, Strict Press, and Deadlifts. This is the last week before a deload, so it will be the heaviest week thus far.

Back Squats will be Monday with 4 sets of 2 at 80-82%. Strict Press will be 5x2 at 75% on Tuesday. Deadlifts are Wednesday with 4x2 at 80-82%. Next week, we will deload and continue our progression from there.

‍

We have officially made it to the 2026 CrossFit Games Open! The Open kicks off with the 26.1 live announcement on Thursday 2/26! Registration is still underway and will run all the way up to the submission deadline for 26.1.  

If you are new here, or approaching your first Open, the CrossFit Games Open is the first leg of a year-long qualification process for the CrossFit Games World Championships at the end of every year. The Open is an international, online competition that every CrossFit gym in the world takes part in, lasting a total of 3 weeks. Register and learn more about the Open/Games Season HERE

As always, the Open workouts will be group class on Fridays during the 3-week period. If you need to make it up or redo a workout, please coordinate that with a coach/judge.

‍

❄️Weather Updates: As we head into the winter months, please know that we always make every effort to keep the gym open as long as it is safe for both our coaches and members to travel to and from classes.

In the event that we do need to cancel classes due to weather, you can expect the following communications:

• A Facebook post in the Bell City CrossFit Private Members Group

• An email message sent to the email address we have on file for you in ZenPlanner

You will also see affected classes marked as cancelled/unavailable in both ZenPlanner and SugarWOD.

As a reminder, we post a daily At-Home Workout in SugarWOD so you can continue training even if you’re unable to make it into the gym.

If you have any questions regarding class cancellations, please feel free to post in the Private Facebook Group or email us directly at info@bellcitycrossfit.com.
