NEW YEARS CHALLENGE
Break in the new year right. This group from last year crushed our 2025 challenge. Set the tone to be that badass you in 2026. Always a free community workout. Why? Because everyone deserve to have good health and good friends. That’s why we start our new year by doing hard things.
Are you ready to start your year right?
See you there!
January 1st
Marcos de Niza Track
8am
I’ll have plenty of ice water & music. Bring a snack to share. We will have a whiteboard to record each set that you complete.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
