| ANNOUNCEMENTSNovember 2023It feels like we blinked, and here we are, 45ish days remaining before we put 2023 to bed. Before we look forward to next year, its a great time to reflect on how we got here, what’s in store the next two months, then plan on our 2024 being the best it can be! “The magic is in the movement, the art is in the programming, the science is in the explanation, and the fun is in the community” -Greg Glassman How we got here- You like metrics? Because I sure do! I’ve done some wizard math and come up with a figure, approx 13,000 hours of training in the HOG as a group this year. Regardless of life’s difficulties, bumps and bruises, we showed up and did the work. Shovel or spoon y’all, we moved some damn dirt. Zoom out and widen the lens, 14 years we’ve been doing this thing of ours, 14 years of roughly 13k hours of training, 182,000 hours give or take. It’s pretty crazy to think about, everyone reading this email and several thousand that have been members over that time have played their part, what a powerful thing to put into the world! “You are what your record says you are” is one of my all time favorite quotes from head football coach Bill Parcells, our record speaks for itself. What’s in store- 60 days of fun and enjoyment, and I’m not talking about turkey and stuffing (well, ok, kind of) I’m talking about finishing this year strong. Championships are won in the last 2 minutes of the game, this is not the time to let off the gas. Coach Will has been in the lab cooking up some special stuff to close out the year, we have Gorilla Strength Thunderdome kicking off, and a gang of folks eating literally pounds of Swoccoli for the gainz! We also have the December shoe challenge to help keep you focused during the holiday season, check out details below. Nobody wins the race they “might do in the coming year” as you will hear all around you the next two months, we win it here and now, with day in, day out, consistency, and effort (Vitamin C&E Baby! Get you some!) The Plan for 2024- “The same thing we do every year, Pinky. Try to take over the world!” Well, maybe not the world, but we can take over our health and wellness, I’ll gladly settle for that. How do we bump that metric? Consistency. That doesn’t always look like an extra metcon. Sometimes that looks like backing off the gas pedal in a workout today so you can train tomorrow. Maybe it’s 10 minutes early or late to class for some mobility or skill work. Maybe it’s taking your training from 3 days a week to 4. Whatever it is, lets use the next 45 days to think about what we want in 2024, and then lets develop a plan to get there. Talk to me about it, I want to hear it! Nothing makes it real like speaking it into existence with a trusted party, talk to me, talk to your coaches, your workout buddy, write it on the goal board for this coming year. I absolutely love your successes, watching the growth of our athletes makes mah chesticles swell. I am proud of each and every one of you.
