I will be launching a new website and blog in the next few days, and we will start moving equipment into the new space next weekend (notice the "we").  The Downtown Crossfit blog address will redirect you to the new one once everything is set up.  I really appreciate the continued support over the past months.  I know it has been a long wait but it was definitely worth it.  I will be updating the blog with interior pics soon. 
Great things are right around the corner!
