A Quickie

Shout out of the day goes to both Johnny and Jenn. They both took their previous 1 rep max in deadlift and picked up TEN POUNDS MORE for 3 reps yesterday! Way to go you two! It’s always fun to see people get new PR’s. On that note, there was an announcement on the site this weekend about an upcoming [...]

Mean face

Tyler got his mean face on yesterday. If you want to see some intensity…come watch Tyler do, well, anything. Don’t forget about Mary’s yoga class Tuesdays at 10:00am.

Without Relent
