“We tell our children to believe in themselves, without explaining how to develop that belief. We’ve fallen for the Instagram version of confidence, emphasizing the projection of belief, instead of working on the substance underneath. We need a new approach to building confidence, one focused on the inside.”

Steve Magness, Do Hard Things: Why We Get Resilience Wrong and the Surprising Science of Real Toughness

Gym Update

  • We have water!

  • We’re busy cleaning now and will start working on bathrooms, front coffee room, and continue cleaning all equipment and surface areas.

  • Floors will be a bigger, longer project, but we have already begun that work.

  • I will turn memberships back on and remove all holds this coming Monday, October 21. We will probably not have the rubber floors done (as I write this, we’re still working to save the old ones to have to keep from buying new ones, but may just have to buy a new floor. Saving money on the floors will allow us to spend money on bikes, barbells, other gear we need). I feel good about where the gym will be by the end of this week to go back to charging members. If you want to request a longer hold after that date, please let me know.

  • Community Workday #2: The next opportunity for folks to help out will be this coming Saturday, October 19. We’ll work for one hour after the 9:30 community wod. So, 9:30 workout. 10:30-11:30 work session. Hard stop at 11:30 for those that want to help out. This will be basic cleaning, clearing brush, maybe lots of floor work (gloves, boots, grungy clothes needed).
