Tuesday




Abby adding some freestyle flips to her burpee-jump pull-ups Monday morning. Hey, even the finisher circuits can be fun!

I will be closed Thur-Sat this week. Two bonus semi-private sessions will be added Wednesday at 5am & 5pm. Should be a record-setting day for attendance tomorrow.

Clients have asked, what should I do for the rest of the week. I am happy that they enjoy training, but take the opportunity to be active outside. If you like running, try running the cross-country course at The Hill at Northview Church. Or, if running isn't your thing, try hiking at Eagle Creek or Cool Creek parks.
