We have our new tri-fold brochures at the gym feel free to grab a couple and show them to your friends. Nate Martin had a huge part in the design process and Kara Hall took all the photos for the brochure. We are super proud of what we put together and I hope you guys like it.
I realize that we have put up a different storage system (Hooks around the big front window + new shelves) for you guys to leave your stuff during wods. This will make it easier to keep the floor clear and safe for training. However it is not a place for you to forget your shit on purpose. I am seeing entirely to much stuff lying around after class that you could easily have taking with you. Some of you are coming straight from work and you have asked to keep some stuff here which is fine. So if you need to leave things please let me know and can make room for it. Don’t fill the shelves so other members cant use them. We are trying to make the most of the space we have, so yes, it gets a bit packed at times but with your help I am sure we can make it work.

Perez graduated from the U.S. Military Academy in 2005. She was an exemplary student and became the highest-ranking African-American female cadet in the history of West Point. An exceptional athlete, Perez was a sprinter on the track team (200 m) and competed in the triple jump. She also excelled at gymnastics and squats.

She was also posthumously awarded the NCAA Award of Valor in 2008.
