Another great (and somewhat challenging!) weight training session in the books 💪

Elizabeth was inspired by us last week and jumped in to do the workout while in SC!! you go, girl! You inspire us right back!

Last week Karin was pictured solo, but this week she found herself a buddy 🤣 Always more fun together!

We were also joined by Devon from WCR DC, who’s looking to make the move to Philly and join our group — welcome, Devon! We’re so glad you lifted with us.

Weight/Strength Session #1 at The Barn 💪

What a great kickoff to our first Weight/Strength session! John led us through a dynamic almost circuit style workout that kept everyone moving and motivated from start to finish. Each station focused on different muscle groups, giving us a true full-body workout - legs, arms, core, and everything in between.

Oh course we started with a warm on the Erg.

John offered options so everyone could push themselves at their own level. There was great focus, lots of effort, and encouragement all around. It was great to see everyone step up, try new movements, and power through.

If this first session is any indication, we’re off to a strong start (And we will be feeling the affects tomorrow😊)

Celebrating another wonderful year with WCR, filled with friendship, laughter, good food, and a little karaoke! This year’s holiday gathering at the Pennsylvania Barge Club was especially meaningful as we honored Dale and celebrated her retirement. Her dedication, encouragement, and impact on this community have shaped WCR in lasting ways, and we are so grateful for everything Dale has given to all of us. Thank you Dale! We will be sure to see you on the river!

Looking forward to 2026 and all that it will bring!
