Free Fitness Movement. All you need to do is show up!
Wisconsin notes:
This morning was filled with power, love, booty, and rainbow shirts. Speaking of, let’s talk about rainbow shirts.
This morning we tagged with the colours of the rainbow in support of Montréal Pride, as well as in order to show that we are allies. Yet, your cool new shirt is not enough. In fact, don’t even think about wearing it unless you are committed to the following:
WISCONSIN NOTES:
HI FRIENDS! I missed you! SO MUCH. Like, so so so much. Infinity amount, even.
I missed your hugs, I missed your smiles, and I missed swearing in French. Another big thing that I missed was the opportunity to watch so many of you lead the tribe in your own quirky and creative ways. You guys are amazing and Derek raved about you all every single week.
WISCONSIN NOTES:
This morning the tribe really brought it. Everyone worked hard, everyone tabata-ed the shit out of those 3-foot cement stairs, everyone lay in the wet grass with pride. And yet no one brought it more than mother nature herself who recruited the sunshine this AM and gave us that warm, reassuring, glow – to announce to us that summer is here. #recruiteverything
WISCONSIN NOTES:
What a swell day to be alive and to bounce around the Old Port wearing suspenders and baseball caps.
Our first Yearbook Photos session was a raging success thanks to Savannah, who always has our backs (and makes our fronts look hella good). The pictures will be officially dropped on June 6th along with the yearbook photos of all 40+ other November Project tribes in this wonderful world of ours. But let me tell ya, from a first pass looking at these pictures, we look damn good. I mean, full-on geeks and weirdos for having outdoor adult costumed photo shoots, but damn good.
WISCONSIN NOTES/NOTES DU WISCONSIN:
HAPPY FECKIN’ BIRTHDAY VILLE DE MONTREAL, YOU BEAUTIFUL MAGNIFICENT CREATURE.
Today we celebrated you, in all your glory, by doing 375 reps of approximately everything. Although our arms are now too jello to raise our glasses to you, please imagine figurative raising. We’ll try again tomorrow when sensation has returned. On a related note, whose idea was it to run a 375 metres sprint…twice? And yet, somehow all of these beautiful people still had smiles on their faces. Now that’s the good stuff.
Wisconsin Notes:
This weekend the tribe (no, not Montréal specifically, but rather, the global NP tribe) lost an amazing soul. This is Ben.
Ben was a core NP member who, before NP WOO was born, used to drive the hour and a half that it took to get to the Boston workouts at what we formally call “ass o’clock”. Not only was he an enormous supporter of the movement, but he also went out of his way to lift up every single human he met.
WISCONSIN NOTES:
Below are the beautiful sentiments of Work it YOW (Ottawa’s killer pledge tribe) on the afternoon of sweaty loving and good times that was shared.
“There has been so much excitement building up to this weekend’s fit off. What an awesome way to spend a Sunday meeting friends cross-provinces. We finally got those people out who aren’t tough enough for 6:29am start time. Luckily for them, they got to experience what it’s like to be #weatherproof– after three days of sunny and hot weather, the November Project Gods had to put us in our place and remember what we’re all about. So thank you for that. Those newbies got to experience what it’s like to be kinda badass. And was this group ever badass. I think there was more time spent on the ground with wet bums. on hands racing fearlessly for the retrieval of tennis balls during hungry hippos. Partner baseball diamond sprints rounding the bases got us sweating. Huckle buckle created tight relationships and hips-in opportunities or connecting less than comfortable body parts together with strangers.

First off, to explain what Wisconsin notes are:
Dan Graham (DG), the big bro of NP co-founder Brogan Graham and the only leader to have ever started 2 tribes (Madison and later Milwaukee), hated the long, rambly posts that his brother would write. He demanded quickie recaps at the top. Thus was born the Wisconsin note.
