Thursday Workout: Snow is Coming, 5 Sets, Gym Strength Work

There’s some snow in the forecast, which means we might need to cancel some classes this Friday/Saturday if the roads are sketchy or our trainers are not able to make it in to open up the gym.  For up-to-date information regarding class schedule changes, please stay tuned to our Facebook page. We will also update our class schedule online on our Front Desk site.  For now, all classes are on as normal, and don’t forget we have our gymnastics skills class this Friday (Jan 22) at 5:45PM!
