☀️ Fitness University is ON tonight! 💧

It’s going to be a hot one, and we hope everyone is staying cool and hydrated throughout the day!

Our event will take place as scheduled starting at 6:00 PM. With the heat index expected to make it feel even hotter, we’ll be taking plenty of water breaks to help everyone stay safe and comfortable. Please don’t forget to bring a full water bottle!

As always, please use your best judgment when deciding if your child should attend based on the weather, the heat, and how they’re feeling.

We can’t wait to see everyone tonight for another fun evening of fitness! Stay cool, stay hydrated, and we’ll see you at 6:00 PM! 💙🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️
