New Nutrition Challenge starts this Month
We are offering a 30-Day Nutrition Challenge starting Monday May 17th until June 14th. The goal of this challenge is to build upon the healthy eating practices we covered in the nutrition component of the 6-week Wellness Challenge from the beginning of the year. In those nutrition classes, we covered topics like the basics of nutrition with regard to macro and micronutrients, creating balance within our meals, performance nutrition, and meal planning. Even if you did not attend, you can absolutely still participate in this nutrition challenge! We will release more details regarding challenge parameters in the coming week, but note that the premise of this challenge will not be restriction-based, but rather inclusion-oriented when it comes to food intake. All challenge participants will receive: an accountability journal, challenge t-shirt, weekly group nutrition classes, accountability teams, Facebook support and updates, and eligibility for raffle prizes. You can sign up with Kate at the front desk or on our sign-up sheet at the gym. The cost is $15.

Do FTR classes help
with sobriety?
Using our HappyOrNot terminals, we asked our members "Did this class help your sobriety?" and 97% said YES, that FTR classes help with their sobriety.
When asked, "why did this class help with your sobriety", here is what our members said:
"today was really hard, i was really in my head, the circle up and the end gave me insight, peace and wisdom to move forward"
"staff here is amazing!!!"
"There is no way to describe the beauty and inspirational atmosphere of the music group. Truly a sight to see!"
"love coming here! it keeps me focused on being healthy in the right ways, also having support of the trainers"
Thank you to the 487 survey respondents for answering our first poll. You can now answer the latest poll question, "After this class, did you feel less depressed?"
