If you've been into the gym recently, you'll notice a few things have changed in how we structure our workouts!
In the past few months, we've been working on how CFP can really move into the next chapter here on Calle Mariposa, and we've started by bringing a little bit of Costa Rica's wild spirit into the way we plan our workouts.
We call it our Fauna Fitness Philosophy, and below, we'll break down what you can expect in the average week at CrossFit Potrero.
Monday | Vaca
We start the week with strength, balance, and consistency, taking inspiration from our friendly mango-munching neighbors, the vacas!

Tuesday | Mono
Next, we build mobility and efficiency, taking a lesson from our easy-swinging neighbors the Howler Monkeys with a gymnastics and upper-body emphasis.
Warm Up Focus: Range of Motion

Sunday | Perezoso
Sundays though... Sundays we learn from the Oso Perezoso, the Lazy Bear, the animal named after the sin, the Sloth, and we take it nice and easy. Everyone needs to rest!
