Fighting Like A Girl

Thank you Rick Ross.


-Been a very busy past few days!  The gym has been buzzing with energy and excitement every class period!  Keep it up guys and gals!  Honestly speaking, I am a the type of gym owner that loves to have a crowd of folks coming in everyday.  At other gyms most owners hope and pray you keep paying your membership but they really don't care if you show up or not.

-NOT US!

You are what makes the gym fun.  You are what makes the gym more than just a gym.  You guys make it a community.  For example: Haley Ross has been a member of Versus for almost a year.  Most of you guys and girls in the afternoon classes know her and know about the current hardship her family is facing.  Haley's niece (Riley Kate) is 4 years old and is fighting a brain tumor.  Haley is selling tee shirts to raise a few extra funds for any expenses insurance may not cover.  I am proud to say that many of you guys have already made a donation. 

Now, about 6 years ago I went to another gym in Hattiesburg.  I went at the same time about 3-4 times a week.  The same people were in there almost every time.  I never knew one of their names.  I referred to them as, "the dude with the red ipod, the girl with the book, and the old guy."  Honestly, I am not really sure if we ever said more than a few words to one another.

I am GLAD we know one another.  I am glad most of you guys get together outside of the gym for social events.  I am glad you guys are not scared to support one another.  If you see a new face at the gym, welcome them.  Oh and if you want to buy a "Fighting like a Girl" tee shirt.  Talk to me!
