Hey all, it's Marcy! I feel like a guest blogger these days. I guess I am. Big kudos to Aly for all of the great things she posts on here to keep you all healthy, safe and motivated.
>>> The photo to the right was last year's Member Appreciation Party, which we were BARELY able to hold in our home due to the group size. I am excited to annouce that our home was not even an option this year! LOL
I wanted to jump in today to take a moment to thank all of you who have taken this journey with us. As you all know, on May 1st, we celebrated Purg's second birthday. I don't think that in our wildest imaginations we'd ever imagined we'd be where we are today with Purg back then. Back then, we opened in just 2400sf of space. That led to the opening of a third suite, which then opened our new CF room, which was just about 2000sf, plus another 1000sf of strength space. Its crazy to think that we're already fulling up our new 9600sf gym with so many amazing new faces and personalities! WE WANT TO THANK YOU ALL for being a part of this amazing journey with us. So many of you gave up your own time to help us open the original gym, as well as getting up and running in the new one. We will never forget the things all of you have done to make Purg what it is today. We've all shared in some amazing moments...life changing moments together. Again, we will always remember how special it is that you are vulnerable to us and that you allow us to be a part of your changes and transformations. We don't take it for granted.
With all of that in mind, Tony and I want to personally invite you all (once again) to our 2nd annual Member Appreciation Party. This night is about US SPOILING YOU. It's our time to stop and give proper thanks to all of you for your friendships, your vulnerability, your hard work. WE REALLY HOPE you can take the time to join us in this celebration! The details are:
Sat, May 19th - doors open at 6pm
Dinner served from 6pm-8pm (this is on us)
Drinks served all evening.
Dancing and entertainment all evening.
2nd annual Purgee awards at 7:30pm (you DO NOT want to miss this!)
So, how do you join all of this fun?
RSVP at Purgatory (front desk) with your name, your guests (guests will cost you $5/each if they are not members). After that, you need to find the proper hairspray, attire (it is 80's Prom themed) and show up ready for a really good time!!
*Note: This event is for MEMBERS only.
Next up: Memorial Day Murph - set aside an hour or so on your Memorial Day to come to Purg and take on one of the most notoriously difficult workouts in the honor of a great American Hero, Lt Michael Murphy. Details are on the events page.
Finally, remember that this coming Friday is the May Happy Hour WOD - we are repeating one of our favorite themes to date - the WHITE TRASH wod! So, this upcoming Friday....5:15pm, be at Purg in COSTUME ready for a kick ass good time. BBQ and Paleo Potluck to follow. It's time to fire up that new grill, open up all the Purg doors and let our neighbors know we're here to stay! We're talking about hitting up some Karaoke (which we are LONG overdue in doing!) after as well, so come join the fun!
