DE Update | Week of November 25th

So Thursday , november 28th , we are going to have a workout at Midtown , 7 am . Cody and I are going to be running that workout and the cap is 40 people . I need you guys to sign up online . Use the MindBody app and sign up online . Right , you can ask a coach to sign you up . I think there's already 30 people in the class .

I took it from 30 to 40 because the workout we put together we can take 40 people . It from 30 to 40 because the workout we put together , we can take 40 people . But please sign up . That's a must , all right . So 7 am Thursday , november 28th . Many of us are gonna go from that workout and do the wobble before you gobble . That's Wingfield Park .

So if you sign up for that , join us there . If not , just go have a great time , eat and drink and be merry and have a great thanksgiving day . After thanksgiving , chances are you might feel a little bit puffy , maybe full might have gone a little too hard at dinner time . If you're feeling that little bit of , you need an extra caloric burn session .

Uh , tammy and jess are going to be coaching a workout on Friday 8.30 am at Midtown . Also , both these workouts are going to be done at Midtown and yeah , again , workout 40 people . Jess and Tammy are going to run it . Sign up on the app ahead of time . Plan ahead . If you sign up , show up . You know what I'm saying .

All right , don't be that person that signs up and doesn't commit . So those are the two workouts , one each day for Thanksgiving . Back to normal class . On Saturday at both gyms I have our normal classes . So Saturday at Midtown there's been a party lately . Just a friendly reminder Cody at 8 am at Sal Gym likes to party with friends too .

So typically when snow starts flying and people start skiing and snowboarding , hitting the mountains , attendance falls off on the weekends a little bit . So you need to see how that plays out . But Saturday classes , you want a little more space . I guess everybody had a great time this last weekend . But Cody at the South Gym , go drop in on them , say hi .

All right , we're one community . Let's bridge across our community . All right , people . Next in the newsletter you can see your committed club standings . I've been having a lot of people ask me have I gotten my 12 per month ? Where am I at ? Blah , blah , blah , everybody that has completed 12 per month for the last 10 months is in there , listed out , right ?

If you feel in your heart that we made some kind of error and you should be on that list , reach out to me now and let's figure it out and see if that is an error on my part or on your part . I'm happy to navigate that with you . Also , the people fighting for 200 visits .

Now there's two ways to get into the committed club 12 visits per month for 12 consecutive months or 200 plus visits in the year . The folks that have 175 visits or more because there's 25 days workout days left in the year is what I counted 175 visits or more because there's 25 days workout days left in the years , what I counted .

With that , those folks are listed out there . So 175 visits as of today or more are listed out there . Those people have a fighting chance to get to 200 before the end of the year . All right , so check it in the newsletter . That is where you'll see some committee club standings also had some requests for a new sweatshirt .

Coach tammy was wearing one of our og american flag sweatshirts and we haven't printed a double-edged american flag sweatshirt in quite a while . In the newsletter there's pre-order . We are getting with the current century . Kids are yelling in background . You never do a video in peace . Hold on , hold on , hold tight . All right , I'm back .

Well , didn't work , so got a pre-order link in the newsletter . There'll also be a pre-order link going around the gym . We're getting with the 21st century . Whatever century we're in , we're getting with it . I created . We now have an online store that I'm going to start building out .

One of the goals into the new year is to actually have an online retail store for our clothing that can be used for pre-orders and ordering stuff . Surprisingly , we get a handful of requests of people who have moved away that want double-edged gear . Still want to represent the de gym in their new town .

So we will be building out an actual online store and do 2025 . The start of that is now . So this is test one of trying some pre-orders through the new online store . So that link is also in the newsletter . Also be plastered around the gym or new sweatshirt . This year I decided that we aren't going to have a Christmas party .

This will be the first time in 10 years , and here's why I have been conflicted about a handful of our double-edge events . One percentage of attendance isn't always that great , right , so we got to inspire people that want to participate in community events by providing community events that people want to participate in and be a part of .

Another reason of this is , a lot of times , our double-edged events . I'm not anti-alcohol I like having some drinks with friends but in the past , a significant amount of alcohol have been consumed and that is just not the long-term direction that I really want to take .

The gym I want to figure out in the 2025 our community-oriented events , our get-togethers , our gatherings , things we do with and for the community , our DE family in a more what's the word maybe holistic , healthy approach of getting people together , celebrating our successes together and have kind of a do these events starting next year .

I have ideas the team we're all getting together for our annual weekend annual planning up . We're gonna do that pretty soon and we're gonna hash out some ideas going into 2025 . Calendars just not really working well and talking to a handful of members .

Um , they tend to agree with me on getting away from the drinking inebriation , kind of get getting more towards health , wellness , us getting together as community and friends and maybe sharing some drinks , dinner and whatnot . And um had also some requests on bringing back the double-edged ball . So we might look into that for 2025 .

We're looking at a handful of different things .

I do want to flip the script in how we approach community events for you all , our members at the gym , our extended double-edged family , it really kind of revamped into the next chapter of you know Double-A-Will . So this year , nothing to block off on your calendars , not going to do it and , yeah , hope you guys aren't too mad about that .

Most of the people I've talked to and threw the idea by totally get it , understand it and are excited for some ideas that we're going to roll out next year . So if you do have feedback and suggestions on things you would like to see us do and get together .

In the past we've done day at the lake , we've tried the water park , we've done a handful of things at the gym , from Christmas parties and the open throw downs and various things . If you have insights or feedback on what you would like to see going into the new year . Share them with me , let me know , because your insights do matter .

But again , as part of my direction leading the gym and the gym community , I do want to get away from some of the past which these get togethers have led to overconsumption of alcohol , and that's not a direction I want to go anymore . So you guys , I love you have a great training week .

If you're traveling this week , I want you guys to be safe and have a great time with your friends and family . Right , just give a special place in your heart and your thoughts and prayers . There's a lot of people that also struggle during the holiday season . This is a very difficult time of year for a lot of people .

So enjoy your family , lift people up who are struggling in your thoughts and prayers and let's get out there and have a great training week this week . I love you guys . I'll see you at the gym .
