This past Sunday was a total success! We had an awesome self defense course, with Officer Carole Boswell. With the proceeds generated from the course, we were able to donate $500 to the National Clearinghouse of Defense of Battered Women. We are already planning our next course so that we can learn more strategies to stay self, and practice our new skills from the last class. Thanks Carole for making the course fun, hands on and highly informative.
There’s now more time to work on your skills, make up classes and get some extra strength work in! Please continue to use your Mindbody account to sign up for Open Gym hours, so that a coach will make sure to keep the gym open!
Join us for a Women’s Personal Protection Class taught by career police officer Carole Boswell. This will be a low-impact, highly-informative class on best practices for keeping yourself safe in a variety of setting, and hands-on practice of techniques to escape from an attacker. The format will alternate between hands-on and interactive lecture about how we, particularly as women in today’s society, can move around in the world as safely as possible. Cost is only $25 for the two hour course, ages 12 and up.
$20 of this per person will be donated to the National Clearinghouse of Defense of Battered Women.
Put your butt-kicking shoes on and come check it out!
Sunday, February 26th 3pm- 5pm
Hey Strength Tribe! Join us for our 3rd Holiday Fun Run! We’d love for not only our members, but their friends and families to join us for a fun filled night of silliness!
On Friday December 9th at 6:30 pm, we will run a 3 mile course, hitting up a “rest stop” every mile… Come workout at 5:30 pm for Group Strength and Conditioning, and stay for the run, or skip the workout and join us at 6:30 pm for the run! Dress up in your festive Santa attire and get ready to take St.Johns by storm- rain or shine. If you don’t want to run, you can join by bike, scooter, skateboard. We are gonna see if we can try the Santa Run this year without any shots of fireball – our Santa’s might of taken it too far the last time we tried this event! This is a 21 and older event, please bring your money for beverages at the rest stops, and ID. We will end up back at PDXstrength, at the Wursthaus for one last beer before we end the night. Course will be released closer to the event. Meet up at PDXstrength, 8835 N Bradford St.
We will be suggesting a $5- $10 donation for Community of Hope, a nonprofit homeless shelter for women and children in St. Johns- which will be a nice thing to do for those in need in the holiday season!
