October Happenings

For the month of October we have tons
of events going on almost every
weekend!  We are super excited to
share with you all the growth and
​awesome stuff that 351 has to offer.

The FIRST FRIDAY of October is upon
us!  Come on out and enjoy a workout
with us at 5:30PM, followed by
some hangout time.  BYOB and snacks
if desired! Don’t want to workout and
just want to hang? That’s okay too. 
The point of this is to be together in a positive environment supporting all things fitness.

Barbell class is coming up this SATURDAY at 8AM.  We couldn’t be more excited to host this again and get those athletes wanting to dial in on their form with the snatch and clean & jerk.  Why come to barbell? In this class, we focus on just the lifting portion of things, no metcon. That means all the drills. Get ready. Coaches Mike Leonard and Hayden Perry will be leading the way with this fantastic class.  Doors open at 7:30AM to all members and non-members for mobilization. We will then warm up together at 8AM (coach led). Please note that you must register for this class by FRIDAY, October 4th at 5PM.

Open Workouts begin Friday, October 11th at 5:30PM!  What does this mean? The open is a way to test our physical abilities against other athletes in our age groups and see where we stand.  If you are a 351 member, it is also a way to come and workout with friends and hangout as a group. The open announcements are released Thursdays at 8PM and we complete them the following day.  If you have any questions regarding these events, feel free to shoot us an email and we are happy to answer any questions at all! All are welcome! 

We are proud to announce another Nutrition Clinic coming up on Saturday, October 12th at 11AM.  It couldn’t be coming at a better time and Fork Lift Fitness + Nutrition has labeled this as a PERFORMANCE NUTRITION CLINIC, a topic we haven’t gotten down to the nitty gritty on.  As we are approaching the open season, heck even the holiday season let’s face it, we are getting more and more questions about food. Come on out and have your questions answered and meet Vanessa, the woman behind Fork Lift Fitness!  You can email us directly regarding class reservation or click on the link here on our website. Here is a direct link to Vanessa’s website as well. Feel free to browse!

We did have to make a slight change to the Kid’s Class scheduling.  These classes are still going to take place, we just need a little more prep time for them.  The plan for these is still to hold them around the 4:30 and 5:30PM class time slots but we are working on what days of the week are most appropriate.  Please stay tuned! We are so excited to launch these additional classes for our young fitness enthusiasts.

351 will be closed from 12:00PM-4:00PM on Tuesday, October 8th for maintenance.  All classes that day will be operating on the usual schedule. 

Finally, as we are still enjoying the warm weather days at the gym we need to remember that the cooler days and nights are upon us.  With that said, November marks a much cooler month where it requires us, unfortunately, to keep the garage doors closed.  Because the doors will be closed during the winter season, we must be mindful of how tight the main gym floor will become.  Our classes can get pretty full and our coaches do a wonderful job accommodating the athletes and modifying but we do have a class particpant cap.  Please note that beginning November 1st, all athletes will need to be reserving their spots using their Wodify app.  This will not only help our coaches out tremendously in preparation for classes, but it will keep our gym safe.  If members need assistance with the app and a quick, "how to" breakdown on class reservation please give us a shout out, we are happy to help!  We feel that this will only make our gym a better and safer space by enforcing class reservation.  Please also note that entering through the office doors for all evening classes will be enforced.  Children must be taken to the kid area, belongings put away in cubbies and participants must be clear from the gym floor while class is in session.  A coach will prompt athletes to approach the double TV screens prior to workout brief when the floor is deemed safe.       

Please be sure to check the event board at the gym to get caught up with with all of the local and in-house events if you are a member!  Turn those email and SMS subscriptions on so that you can get connected!  We will also be posting through social media and sending out reminders weekly! 

Happy Lifting!
