Greetings Strength Tribe!
Thanks to everyone that came out to our Puerto Rico Fundraiser. We raised over $400 dollars and had a blast working out! Also big thanks to volunteers and participants of the Night of the Living Deadlift party. The night was a success! Tim and Jackie put on an excellent event and we can’t wait for their next power lifting party.
We are looking forward to having a great holiday season with our strength tribe! Lets keep smashing goals, setting new PRs and we will see you in class!

Self Defense Seminar
-
Join us on Sunday November 19, for a 2-hour personal protection class that focuses on hands-on techniques for breaking free from an attacker. This class is not meant to make you an expert at self-defense, but will introduce students to a variety of techniques for physically addressing a threat. The focus in this class is escape and survival, and the class will be physical. Dress for physical activity and leave your jewelry (necklaces, earrings, etc) at home. Do you have general questions about keeping you or your family safe? Email Carole at carole.boswell@cityofvancouver.us any time and/or we can discuss these topics during class. This is a class for all skill levels and ages. The class taught by career police officer Carole Boswell. ( This class will be more hands on than our last personal protection class and is for both men and women)
Class is $35 for two hours and $10 from each sign up will be donated to charity. Proceeds are going to Life Straw, providing safe drinking water to Puerto Rico hurricane survivors. Class will be held Sunday, November 19 at 2 pm. Sign up here: Self Defense
