Gym is closed today, but never fear!  We are open regular hours starting Monday, 12/29!  6am and 5:30 pm classes.

In the meantime, check out Heather's videos from Again Faster.  She's 32, mother of two, and she's in the best shape of her life, training an eighth of the time she used to (her words).
