THIS SUNDAY May 15th is the CF Pinnacle Hike:
Join us for a social hike up to the Pinnacle overlook near Hamburg. Meet at CF ready to leave the parking lot at 8:30 AM, or meet in the Hamburg reservoir parking lot by 9 AM. Rain date TBD if necessary. Out and back hike, approximately 7 miles, slow pace, plan for it to take most of the day / returning early to mid afternoon. If you do 8:30 AM class, you probably can hike quickly and meet up with the group even if you get there around 10 AM, or we’ll eventually cross paths because it’s an out and back hike… Just a thought for the FOMO CFers.
TEACHER + NURSE APPRECIATION
We’re rolling out a new pricing schedule for our teacher and nurses! Check out the top of CF’s fees page for more information!

SPECIAL EVENTS
Piper McDonough Workout tomorrow 4/1, all class times! Dedicated CFers Tim and Emily McDonough have a pup in serious medical need. In true Corps Fitness fashion, we’re rallying workouts to offer Piper and her family a little extra fight. If you’d like to help Piper with her fight by helping defray her exorbitant medical costs, there will be a collection bucket in the lobby. If you choose, you can either offer a flat donation or you will have the option of paying a dollar amount for each Round you accumulate in the workout….your choice. Workout will be a hybrid format.

If you’re reading this blog post, chances are you saw last week’s post about the IM ABLE wine and paint party happening tomorrow evening at Corps Fitness from 5:30 - 9:30 PM. Due to the forecasted inclement weather and the fact that we’d prefer to keep our CFers from getting pneumonia, we’re moving the class up to 4:30 PM for tomorrow only and adding a noon class. If you’re still interested in signing up for the wine and paint party, please see last week’s post for the link - deadline is NOON on Tuesday 12/1!
In summary, we’re adding a NOON class, and the class normally scheduled at 5:30 PM is moved to 4:30 PM for tomorrow only! We apologize for any inconvenience. All other class times are unchanged.
