Eric B, our Olympic strongman, assembled the Prowler and gave it its maiden voyage. I can attest it will challenge you. Hip and leg drive is key to moving this beast. It can be pushed from the low bar position or the horizontal posts (easier), or, thanks to Kevin E, pulled with straps. This will be the frosting on the cake of hurt.

Based upon the results of the CFC website poll, it would appear that the new mid-morning class time that will work out best for most is 9:30; beginning June 14, CFC will have a 9:30 class on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
