The Girls
A set of classic benchmark workouts with women's names — Fran, Cindy, Grace and others.
What it means in a class
'The Girls' are the original benchmark workouts, each given a woman's name so athletes worldwide could compare results against the same test. Fran, Cindy, Grace, Helen, Diane and Annie are the ones you'll hear most.
They come back around a few times a year so you can measure progress against your old score — often the clearest proof that your training is working.

"Fran": 21-15-9 thrusters and pull-ups, for time.
