>> HERSHEY, PA., ISN’T JUST KNOWN FOR CHOCOLATE. It’s also home to CrossFit Hershey, a sweet and stacked-out box, owned and operated by Tim and wife Caitlin. Frank and I worked out there Friday night, staying for a while afterward to talk with the couple, who was super warm and welcoming. We now know one thing — we won’t complain about Upcountry being cold after wodding in 30-degree weather the last couple weeks. The WOD lung-burn is twofold, thanks to low temps AND oxygen deficit. It’s loads of fun! (PS. Sick of seeing photos of your owners on vacation? Send us some CFUM shots!)
