No Saturday Class- Time to Explore!

Posted by Chris Romano | Apr 6, 2016 | Events | 0 |

We need to cancel our classes this Saturday, April 9th. Thank you for your understanding. Just a few ideas to usher in the Spring and give our members a few ways to “flex your fitness” outside the gym, broaden your horizons and enjoy this amazing weather. We’ll also post a Saturday morning workout for everyone to do at home.

Just a few of the events you might check out this weekend!

The 80th Dogwood Festival in Piedmont Park
The Atlanta Film Festival
Alton Brown at the Fox Theater
The Sea Lions last weekend at the Georgia Aquarium
Braves vs. Cardinals
Last weekend of the Orchids exhibit at Atlanta Botanical Gardens

Look for your Saturday Workout Homework to post at 8am on Saturday morning. This should be a fun way to warm up the mind, body and spirit for a weekend of exploration!
