Free Fitness Movement. All you need to do is show up!
It’s almost time for our 3rd annual SOUTHWEST COLLISION COURSE!!! This is undoubtedly one of the best events of the year, bringing together NP-San Diego, NP-Phoenix, NP-Los Angeles, and NP-West LA in one epic location! It’s a weekend of camping, relay racing, and bonding with people who are just as crazy as you for waking up at the crack of dawn week after week. As always, all fitness levels are welcome, just come prepared for a seriously fun time!
“How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives,” says author Annie Dillard. In this age of social media, we get an up-close look. It’s easy to become absorbed with someone’s run/vacation/party/food, and even without conversing that defines a lot of how we know each other – especially at November Project because we have limited time together, and so much of that time is spent extremely out of breath.
Benj Benj Benj! Where do I begin with the lovely Benj! Benj was an early veteran of our Westside Wednesdays crew, just a week shy of being with us on our first day. Benj is one of those super-humans you meet and instantly feel warm and comfortable around as he takes the time to make each person he talks to feel special in the most loving way. Every-time I see this guy walk into the stadium on a Wednesday morning I feel like Peter from Homeward Bound when he reunites with his dog, Shadow (more on that below). This community wouldn’t be the same without this wonderful, smiley, hard working human around. Take it away, Benj!
What a MORNING!!!! I’m still having trouble processing how big and full my heart feels right now but we’re just going to roll with it! Today marks one year since the day we started pledging and man what a beautiful journey this has been. From watching newbies show up, traverballers visit, core regulars continue to come back and other city leaders shuffle in and out of the stadium- there’s been SO much magic created over the past year here I’m so damn grateful to have it in my life.
This morning was hilariously epic. I had zero doubts that our crew would show up in full force, ready to rumble, decked out in costume- and they did not disappoint!
From homemade costumes, to full body blow up suits to giant fish BIGGER than someone’s head ON their head (THE ENTIRE WORKOUT) the Westside sure revealed that we are a spirited bunch!
There’s never a dull moment at November Project West LA, literally never– however, this morning was definitely one of those sparkling, fierce, energetic mornings that gave me all sorts of feels and excitement. Maybe it’s because I was out of town last week and haven’t seen this crew for 11 days- which isn’t that long, but when you’re used to seeing your people once a week, 11 days away feels like a lifetime!!
We are SO excited to come together for our second annual SouthWest Collision Course! For all of you first timers to this event, you are in for an epic TREAT! For anyone who’s been before, get excited for a new location, new course, and lots of new friends to connect with!
Please check in with us for information/logistics on sleeping arrangements, carpools and teams if you haven’t already discussed!
Happy Friday, Westside!!!!!
What a great way to kick off the fall season by coming together with November Project LAX for this year’s #BEACHTOBER!!!
Can you believe that every Wednesday across town at Griffith Park, there are people just as crazy as you who wake up at the crack of dawn to work out and cheer each other on?!
This week we have a special guest blog by our very own Carolyn! She brings freeze pops when the weather’s hot, supplies for group love letters, she’s got an attitude for success and shares her beauty with everyone around her. We wouldn’t be where we are without this wonderful human in our lives. Take it away, Carolyn!
We farmed.
We princessed.
We also ran 35 minutes of straight stairs & track with random sprinkles of squats thrown into the mix!
Stolen from our pals at November Project London, we ended with a plank knee tap burnout, which accidentally turned into a scene from fight club. But don’t worry- only one person threw up today (AFTER he won the damn thing). Now that’s commitment!
Today was hilarious, hard and all sorts of goofy. This tribe knows how to both throw down and have fun at the same time and that’s what makes our workout so unique than any other fitness groups. The tribe is strong and the tribe is very silly and dedicated AF.
Congrats LYDIA!! You’ve been with us since day 1 and have always shown up in full force, ready to rock, push your limits and support everyone around you! WE LOVE YOU!!!
