This morning was the first Wednesday since the #NPSUMMIT in Madison, WI. Paddy and Dan were still buzzing with all the energy from the weekend, so they decided to try and jam-pack everything they learned into the pre-workout. As a result, we whisper bounced, we had a newbie meeting, we tagged #GRASSROOTSGEAR, we practiced our flow, and you know what? Most of it went pretty well! Except for when during the call and repeat, Paddy went “Good morning!” (Good morning!) “How are you?” (…Fuck yeah?) … Needless to say, there are some details to be hammered out, but your leaders are on top of it!
We continued today with our #BACKTOSCHOOL theme; the road to 200. THANK YOU to those who dropped off school supplies. We’re excited to donate everything we’ve gathered to Larkin Street Youth Services at the end of the month. KEEP THEM COMING!
As far as #BACKTOSCHOOL themed workouts, so far we’ve done Algebra 101, Foundations of Chemistry, Recess, Psych 101, Economics, and today’s lesson… ART CLASS. Last Friday, our beloved Naomi took a tumble at Friday hills and cut up her knee pretty bad. She was stitched up, put in a brace, and while she is in good spirits, we figured the tribe could do their part to lift those spirits even higher. SO! Art class was born. We had a normal 5 station workout in Alta Plaza Park this morning, except one of the stations was replaced with a giant banner dedicated to Naomi. NPSF-ers paired up and took to the circuits. When they made it around the park to the banner, one partner completed 10 burpees, while the other partner signed the banner. The partners switched, and then off they went again. The results were brilliant:
Naomi, we wish you a speedy recovery, and we can’t wait for you to come back to us!
The second part of #BACKTOSCHOOL month is recruiting. We set our own personal goal of hitting 200 members by October 1st, and we’re well on our way. The event page has 160 verbals currently dropped, and many more hopefully on the way. If you haven’t already invited all your friends, parents, grandparents, pets, aunts, spiritual leaders, or otherwise to this thing, then GET ON IT!
At the same time, corporate has set the goal of 3,014 people by 2014. By the end of this year, we aim to have 3,014 people working out, at 6:30am, across North America. Today we totaled 2,182, so we NEED you all to step up! Not just here is San Francisco, but by reaching out to your friends across the country. Have a friend in Minneapolis who spends too much time on the couch? Call him. Have a cousin in Denver who smokes too much legal weed? Text her. Now is the time people. #WORLDTAKEOVER is inevitable.
