Our first-annual FTR 5K Walk/Run for Recovery was a huge success. With the help of so many different volunteers, contribution from every single one of our pillars, and our wonderful community partners, we were able to bring over 300 people to the event, with close to 200 people participating in the race.
Thank you to Kendalls Media for volunteering their time and resources to help document this amazing day. Check out this link to view the photos from the event!

This month, we want to acknowledge Mason Storms. Mason represents the all of our values at FTR. Mason first came to FTR just before the Wellness Challenge. Mason came 5 days a week, without fail, for the entirety of the challenge. Mason transformed. Not only did he become stronger, he became more confident in himself and in his recovery. Mason encourages everyone else in class, makes sure he connects with the new person, and always brings his best to every class. We are proud to have him as part of our member family. |

FTR Certification Workshop |
We want to give a HUGE shoutout to the folks from Greenwich Crossfit who made the trek out from Connecticut to learn and grow with us this past weekend. We also want to give a HUGE shoutout to Shea for joining in on the fun. We are excited to have four new members of the FTR family to carry our mission to their own communities and help spread the message. |

It is with so much excitement and honor that we introduce our three new interns. Andy, Ally, and Julia are shining examples of the values and energy we want to see at FTR. Across the next few months they will be learning alongside Vickie and our other coaches to grow into coaches themselves. If you see them around, say hello and get to know them. They each have so much to offer to this community. |

There's nothing better to fuel your workouts and feed your soul than these round delights. They are protein-packed, delicious, and easy to grab and go. So many of you have been asking for the recipe.
We Listened.

New Staff Alert!
Meet Bryan. You may have seen him sweating it out in a workout or greeting someone new with a smile. Well, Bryan brings all that and more to the kitchen as our new Food Service Coordinator.
He's helping with meal-prep, keeping the kitchen running like a well-oiled machine, and making sure all of your favorites are stocked in our FTR Fridge.
We're so excited to have him.
