Price for Non-Members: $199

Move the GLP For Time
Mark your calendars for Saturday, September 13 as our regular classes will be on pause for something a little different (and a lot more fun). Instead of barbells and rowers, we’ll be lifting, carrying, and moving the gym itself to our new location just down the road!
Join us at 12pm in our current space and together we’ll haul, stack, and set up until everything is in its new home (we expect about 3 hours). Think of it as the ultimate functional fitness workout with the bonus of doing something awesome for our community.
Come ready to sweat, laugh, and leave your mark on our next chapter. RSVP in the Facebook event or text the Coach Line!

Fall Social & Farewell to the Lumberyards
Join us on Friday, September 12th at 5pm for a special night as we usher in fall and say goodbye to the Lumberyards, the space that has been our home and community hub for the past few years.
This event is not only a chance to gather with friends, share memories, and celebrate what we’ve built together - it’s also the final Art Night Out of the season!
Come for the community, stay for the art, and help us give our space the send-off it deserves. Let’s close this chapter with joy, gratitude, and connection.

Growth Mindset & Feedback Workshop
**GLP Members and Fall Habits Challengers Only**
Join us for a two-part interactive workshop experience, co-led by Coach Kari and Coach Sonia on Thursday, August 28th!
Part One: Grow What You Know.
Coach Kari will guide you through a hands-on learning experience of one of her most favorite coaching concepts, The Growth Mindset. What if you could see and experience your world through a totally different lens? What would it do for you? She will share a special tool she employs daily to do just that!
Part Two: Giving and Receiving feedback.
Coach Sonia knows first-hand that these are two of the most uncomfortable, scary and least enjoyable things to do. What if you change that…for good? She will teach us all about the art of giving and receiving feedback. Come prepared to be vulnerable and learn some helpful tips on how to deliver difficult messages - and receive them!
What is an interactive workshop? A workshop that emphasizes active participation and collaboration among attendees. We'll go beyond passive listening to engage each other in activities like discussions, exercises, and group problem-solving.
