Feasters!  Today we’re sending our first ever newsletter.  While we're still in start-up mode, our goal with our newsletter will be to give you very brief updates on matters relevant to the Feast Community. If you have questions about anything in these newsletters, or want more info, please talk to any coach, or email admin@feast-fitness.com, and we’ll get right back to you.

Community Update

• 2 weeks after opening, and we already have 50 Hard Hat Members, and 75 total members (including punch cards, student summer memberships, etc.).  But each of you as individuals—and the grit, humility + gratitude you bring to the gym each day—are waaaaay more important to us than any number milestone. With this group as the roots of our community, we know we are going to crush it.

• This is YOUR GYM + YOUR COMMUNITY.  We’d love to meet the people you’d like to have in this community with you.  Any Saturday through the end of Hard Hat, bring a friend, spouse, co-worker, or anyone else in for a free workout or consult.  

• Going forward, we’ll be featuring at least one Feaster in each newsletter to help us stay connected as we grow.

Construction Update

• Remember the dust and noise we promised during Hard Hat? It’s here! Demolition work has begun on the N side of the building, and we're optimistic that construction on our bathrooms, front desk, etc. can begin just after. We’ll maintain access to bathrooms and the shower on the N side through this phase of the demolition, and we’ll be cleaning up behind the workers. But please bear with us through this phase, and let us know what we can be doing better!

Nutrition Programming Update

• Nutrition Roots seminars launch Sat, June 8 at 11:00am. After all 4 seminars, participants will be assigned a coach, and will progress through Nutrition Habits.  Sign up for Nutrition Roots seminars through Zen!

• As a reminder, the Seminars, coached Habits, BTBN Office Hours, and unlimited InBody access are all included in your membership. Sign up for a 20 minute consult slot during BTBN office hours through Zen.

• As an added bonus, BTBN will discount all individual nutrition pricing by $15/month for Feast members.  Please talk to a BTBN coach if you are interested in individual nutrition programming—it is absolutely amazing, especially if you have a specific goal in mind (like the Chicago marathon).

Fitness Programming Update

• We want to make sure we’re scheduling enough coaches to support each class. To help us do that, please pre-register for classes in Zen. Download the app here iOS/Android

• We also want to make sure members get to know each other, and you’ll help with that if you please sign in to class through the iPads, so that your name and photo appear on the class board for everyone to see!

Special Programs

• HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES: We are launching a Summer Training Program for high school athletes.  It includes Fitness Roots training, 4 sessions/week of strength and aerobic capacity building (at either 7:30am or 10:00am M-W + F, depending on sign-ups), seminars on healthy habits, and a “Feast Lifting Team” t-shirt. Price is $110/month for June 24 - Aug 23.

• COLLEGE ATHLETES: College athletes are welcome to join our regular programming during the summer, at $110/month.

• KIDS: We’ve gotten some requests to provide fun programming for grade school and junior high kids.  We’re working on it! If you think your kids might be interested, please e-mail admin@feast-fitness.com with their names and ages and what day/time you would like them here.

• CORPORATE PARTNERSHIPS: We’re working with businesses in the Ravenswood corridor to offer corporate partnerships. If you know a business that might be interested, please let us know!

THANK YOU!

• The last few months have been a whirlwind of activity. Thank you so much for your patience, assistance, and support as we have pushed to open!
