It's been just over a year now that I started going to the gym regularly. I never thought I'd become a gym person. I never had the time. But after being told a calf injury could prevent me from running again, I knew something had to change. I started my challenge and was lucky to find such a great community .
The vibes are great, people are welcoming and supportive of all levels. So I wanted to take a minute to introduce you to the owner, Mike.
When we started talking about work and life, he was really interested in supporting the men's mental health mission of Ramen 9000. We both had stories to share of running businesses and how it can really test you.
When I mentioned how much the gym helped with my mental health over the last year, he immediately offered up some HIIT class passes for me to use for the Ramen 9000 reward system.
You'll be able to choose it as a prize at our event next week if you sink a ball at the beer pong table. And I'll also send one to someone today who needs a little help getting started on their fitness journey. If you know someone or that's you, hit me with a DM and I'll get you sorted.
Finally, just wanted to say thank you to the members of the gym that have already ordered delivery, bought tickets to the event, or are convincing all your friends to come. We only see each other for a few hours a week and to have your support means the world to me.
Thank you!
