Summer is in full swing — and we love seeing you keep showing up to class, even with all the lake trips, BBQs, and holidays. Keep it up, and don’t forget to bring our community along for the ride! Whether it’s a sweaty post-WOD selfie or a snap of your crew doing something active outside the gym, tag us and let’s celebrate this season together.
Next week is Thank a Coach Week!
Our coaches do what they do because they care — about your progress, your mindset, and your wins big and small. Coaching is a passion, and sometimes a simple “thank you” means more than you think.
Here’s how you can join in and show some love:
- Snap a pic with your coach and tag us on social. No social? Just text the photo to Coach Emily.
- Write them a thank-you card. A few handwritten words go a long way.
- Buy them an LMNT after class or treat them to a post-WOD coffee — your call.
- Or choose your own way to say thanks! Whatever feels right to you.
Once you’ve done your thing, text Coach Emily to let her know which one you did so it counts toward your Bingo card!
Summer can get hot and hectic, but let’s take a moment to slow down and appreciate the people who help us grow stronger every week.
Thanks for being here — and for being the kind of community that makes this place special.
Stay sweaty,
Emily
Next Week in Programming:
This week is full-on, so scale appropriately from day one to stay consistent. Match the intended stimulus so you can keep showing up. Each day brings something different — stay mindful, keep your breath steady, and don’t forget to join us on the weekend for some well-earned yoga!
Here’s what to expect:
Monday – Shuttle runs and chest-to-bar pull-ups. Pick a pull-up variation that challenges you to complete unbroken sets of five.
Tuesday – Benchmark day: Linda. Think heavy lifting, higher volume, and a good dose of fun. Try to team up with others using similar weights, even if it’s just for one of the three lifts. Spot each other on the bench if needed. This isn’t a sprint — keep your breathing controlled and enjoy the grind.
Wednesday – Midweek partner cardio. Working out with someone else will help push you through. Expect the rower to flush out the soreness from the past two intense days. Use this session to dial in your rowing technique.
Thursday – A ring toss and wall ball combo in a gymnastics-focused interval workout. Pace your wall balls so you’ve got enough in the tank for max-effort gymnastics.
Friday – A fun dumbbell or kettlebell workout. Less skill, more grit. Expect a grindy finisher after Thursday’s high-skill gymnastics.
Saturday – Full-body partner workout with a “choose your own adventure” vibe — and yoga right after to reset and recover.
YOGA at the GYM! June 28th at 10am

June 29th – Join Coach Aaron for Carries, Carbs, and Coffee, an hour for fitness and connection for June Men’s Mental Health awareness month!
830am Workout with Coffee + Carbs Hangout to follow for the men of the gym.
Join Coach Aaron for a low-key morning built around movement, connection, and carbs with a group of great guys!
We’ll kick things off at 8:30am with a simple, inclusive carry-focused workout—think farmer’s carries, overhead, sandbags—no pressure, just movement. The carries are symbolic of what many men hold silently: the mental and emotional loads we carry but rarely talk about. Followed by some coffee and carbs! This part is about slowing down, connecting, and refilling your cup—literally and figuratively. Sign up on Wodify as you would for a class. If you have a friend you would like to bring reach out to us for a link!
