The Remodel Continues

Dan A — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 16:00:40 +0000

We are going into phase two of our face lift for the gym. Phase two will include the removal of the trusty old dust collecting bookshelf. During it’s time at P3 ‘Ole Dusty’ has become home to various items left behind. Including but not limited to: several pairs of Olympic Lifting shoes/boots and other assorted foot wear, water bottles, more jackets than we know what to do with, coffee cups, numerous Success Journals, and John’s old baseball gloves just to name a few. ALL of these items MUST BE REMOVED by this Friday or they will be donated/thrown away.

Please help us in this next step to clean up the gym and take your personal things with you! Sammy Da Puppy gets to stay though…

I guess I’m just a little biased of our early morning group, as I continually find myself bragging about them throughout the day. If you don’t recognize this awesome woman in mid flight of a big box jump you’re missing out. Everyday she has a plan to push herself a little bit further than previous. Fran has been a great part of our morning classes for a long time now and is an inspiration to the entire coaching staff with her continued improvement every week.
