They dropped "Barbell Club" and the back room as options for Primal clients, so I had to find a new place to train. Turns out the Balance Gym is cheaper, more convenient location-wise, and probably more flexible as a place to do workouts than Primal was for somebody not following their programming. So I signed up for month-to-month membership and did a workout with Joe, the guy who's making the switch with me.
Partner WoD: 5 rounds for time:
