I've modified the class schedule to reflect our cancellations for next week. Please check it out before you attend class!

MARDI GRAS!

A few reminders. We want to kick-off Max-Effort Mardi Gras right around 9am this Saturday. Since you'll have to park somewhere outside of Soulard and walk, or talk public transport in you'll want arrive around 8am.

Here are the official events for Saturday:

 

  1. AMRAP 2:00

MARDI GRAS: Hey folks, Max-Effort Mardi Gras is right around the corner, so here's another reminder. If you plan to compete, make sure you've signed up using the link on the right side of this page. 

Also, make sure you arrive and park by around 8AM so you can be ready to start the competition by 9! We want to get this puppy done by Noon-ish so we can start the friggin' party! I recommend you seek parking in/around Lafayette Square area. Its only a few blocks walk. If you need to bring a cooler or bag to the gym on Thursday or Friday night, you're welcome to. Baggage will be limited on the day of the event.
