Saturday was the big Unleashed Open House to celebrate their 1-year anniversary. The event went from 7-2 and had free demo classes every ½ hour all day long. It was a great way for people to experience all the different classes the gym has to offer, without committing to anything up front.
Nothing cuter than kids doing burpees
Why climb the rope by itself? Why not add a ruck filled with bricks?
Even the mayor came by!
There was a great turnout and the gym was buzzing all day. It was so busy that most of the ambassadors opted not to take any classes so we could continue to help out where needed, so I didn’t get to try anything out.
I got there around 6:15 to help set up and then they asked us to split up the volunteer duties for the day, so I said I’d start out with parking duty. The gym is in kind of a tricky location with multiple businesses in the area, so we needed to direct people to the lots they were allowed to park in. It wasn’t so bad early in the morning, but as the sun continued to rise, I was baking! Luckily, one of my friends had sunscreen so I didn’t get super burned. I ended up doing one more “tour” of parking lot duty, but then most of the rest of my day was spent roaming around wherever I could help (front desk, merch tent, etc).
We had several vendors on hand for people to check out, including several local race series. We got to try out some tasty local almond/peanut butters and a new fruit bar coming to the market. There was supposed to be some water company there, but I never saw them. We also had a chance to win a free race registration to BoldrDash, but I ended up spinning the wheel and won a sticker. The NE Spahtens were also representing so it was nice to meet a couple of the Facebook admin in person. Plus, my old buddy Vin from Perform Better was there, so it was really great seeing an old coworker and friend.
It was a long day on my feet, which I’m so not used to, so I was pretty wiped out by the time I got home, but it was totally worth it. I love my Unleashed family!
Don't blink. Just run. 
Looks like a great time!,
I don’t think I realized quite how big that truck was until the pic with everyone on it! And how tall is that guy?! Looks like it was a fun day!
That truck is ENORMOUS! If you mean the guy standing on the hood, I don’t really know. Maybe 5’8″ or 5’10”? It’s just huge.
I’m jealous! Looks like a fun day. P.S. I NEED that truck!
Haha, everyone loved the truck. It actually belongs to a neighbor of one of the ambassadors and he let her bring it for the special day.
That looks like such a fun day! Glad y’all had a good turnout!
Yeah, it was awesome. I was glad so many people came to check it out!
What a cool day. Hope you didn’t toast too much at parking duty.
Luckily, no, I didn’t get burned. The sunscreen saved me, plus I jumped into shade whenever I could after that!
[…] Saturday Courtney was at the Unleashed Open House and I went to my parents’ house and visited with them and my brother. I had an opportunity […]
Wow, looks intense! I used to go to NE once a month, I wish I still did so I could participate!
Well geez man! Apparently you’ll need to tell your bosses that you need a company trip up here, you know, for research purposes.
Cool! Sounds like a fun day! 🙂
