Games Week Class Schedule: 7/20-7/29

As most of you know Dani and Cindy are competing at the Games next week. In addition to Dani being gone, myself and Laura will also be travelling out to help with anything that they need. We have worked extremely hard to make sure that this does not interfere with the class schedule at the gym. We have been able to keep almost every class open while we are gone. It is important for you all to please make note of, that while we have been able to keep almost all of the classes on, our staff is limited so there will be only 1 coach on at the majority of the classes. Please be respectful as the coaches will have their hands full with the larger classes, so give them all of your attention and respect so that classes can run as smoothly…
