The Forge will NOT have a regular schedule tomorrow for the holiday. There will be an open session time when any Forge member may come and do a workout but there will be no regular training or classes. If you are wanting to come and workout together during the open session please call or text a trainer. Thanks and have a wonderful holiday weekend.
Sunday, August 29, 2010 at 2:31AM Today we had the first in a series of "Learning to Fish" Nutrition classes. Thank you to Damion for providing his indepth knowledge and guidance on this important subject. The take-home message (or at least one of them) was hormonal (insulin) control and how to achieve this through proper nutrition. Please submit topics of interest and questions that you would like to have addressed at the next gathering.
Great job, Damion, and THANK YOU!!!
Damion talking about the EPOCH.

I found this listed as an “improvement” of the well-known proverb:
