Supporting Community

Our members at TFW East Metro recognize there is a need to support our fellow members of our community! Our culture is one of embracing not just our own journey, but the journey others are taking as well. With that in mind for seven years we have held a deadlift fundraiser supporting our local food shelf, Friends In Need. They can always use your support, but right now it is critical.

Thank you to all of our members who donated, friends and family or coworkers that pledged for their lifts and everyone who lifted at our event!

This Friday we are holding our annual fundraiser for Friends In Need Food Shelf!

We meet up, perform some deadlifts and seek pledges toward each lb we lift! Then it's a classic Minnesota potluck for those that care to hang out and enjoy the evening.

This is a local non profit that helps fill the gaps in nutritional needs for families, elderly and those in need.

All are welcome! If you care or participate in any way or donate we would love to hear from you. Just DM us or contact us at our website www.tfweastmetro.net

Warrior Of The Month

Congratulations Kevin Asauskas on being nominated Warrior of The Month! Kevin has shown great commitment to the process of improving his health in all aspects.

In spite of work demands in leadership as a firefighter, family commitments etc, Kevin has remained consistent in his pursuit of improvement!

He always asks questions when unsure of a process or activity in the dojo and strives to treat others with respect and kindness. The gains in strength, muscle mass, endurance and fat loss speak for themselves!

Keep striving for the next step Kevin!!!
