Community strong

Working out together Saturday morning felt a bit like magic: cars honking and San Franciscans cheering in the streets, fireworks already being lit at 9am, and gigantic shared exhale. And we were together. Sweating, I-go you-going, virtual hugging, “sprinting,” and behind-the-mask smiling.

We’ll be honest, when we set out on this adventure five months ago, none of us were sure we could make it happen. Open a new gym? During a global pandemic? In one of the most expensive cities in the US, if not the world? Keep the community together amidst the uncertainty?

And now, we have a new home at 1643 Valencia St. Two pods are unloaded. Our community is safely having in-person, outdoor workouts every day. That the dream is becoming a reality is a testament to the strength, will, and determination of this community, and a special few members in particular (too many to name them all, so let’s just start with Hill & Gordon and Liz & Lindsey).

We are grateful for each and every one of you, and in awe of all the ways you show up, big and small, day in and day out.
