Any advice for new members? Just show up, the rest will take care of itself. And don't skip days with burpees unless you really want to. No don't. But I won't judge you if you do.
Any additional thoughts/shout-outs/comments: Thank you Matt Love for the encouragement and patience from day one - allowing me only an empty women's bar for the first several weeks #humbling. You have changed my ability to live life to the fullest and enjoy the things I love - pain free. You were a blessing and now a brother to me.
Oh and I wouldn't get mad if say...more 80's music showed up at the 4PM.
