Fitness University

Forgot to post pictures from last week. It was a little drizzly to start, and the grass was wet, but we improvised! (July 23, 2024)

Don’t forget! Fitness University tonight 6 PM! 

We had another hot evening on the track.🥵Thank you to all the great Fitness University Volunteers that come back week after week. We couldn't do this without you!

🌟 Reminder! 🌟

The 3rd session of Fitness University is this Tuesday night at 6pm! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️ It's going to be a hot day, so make sure your children stay hydrated. 💧 We will adjust our time on the track to ensure everyone's comfort and safety in the heat. See you there! 💪

Another great (& warm) night at Fitness University! Thank you for coming!

We are looking forward to our 2nd session of Fitness University tonight. We won’t cancel for heat, but if any thunderstorms come close, we will post on Facebook any updates.

Please be sure your child brings their own water bottle. We will have water so they can refill as needed.

Our coaches will be sure everyone takes a water break every 15 minutes or so as it’s been pretty hot lately!!
Hope to see you tonight.

Just a reminder our next FitU clinic is July 9th
(There is no session on July 2)

It was a great night at Fitness University! We hope you enjoyed the event and we look forward to seeing you again on July 9th! Thank you to all the awesome volunteers who continue to come back year after year! We couldn't do it without you!

We managed to get part of Fitness University in before it rained! Thank you to all the families! And our amazing volunteers!!

We are a go for tonight! (Fingers crossed the weather cooperates!) We have medals, giveaways, raffle items and treats for all our kids! See you all soon!

Fit U Families: We are keeping an eye on the weather for tonight's last session of Fitness University! We are hoping we can have the regular session complete with the end of the season races, but at the very least, Lea and I will be there to hand out the medals and swag to all the kids who have done such an amazing job all summer long. Stay Tuned for an announcement later in the day once we have a better idea of the weather situation.

A gorgeous night for Fitness University!

Looks like we will have great weather for tonight, and we have missed you all! See you tonight for our second to last Fit U of 2023!

All:

We hate to make these calls because we want nothing more than to see all the kids go out and have some fun on the track, but there are some pretty severe storms just south of us, and predictions for weather similar to last night.

In an over abundance of caution for all the kids, families and volunteers, and to avoid being caught in severe weather, we are going to cancel Fitness University tonight.

It is never an easy decision, but the safety of our kids and volunteers will always come first, and with the unpredictable weather patterns, we would rather be safe than sorry.

Fingers crossed that next week is a better weather day for us all!

Stay safe,
Carolina & Lea

Let's hope Mother Nature stays on our side so we can have Fitness University tonight! If there are any cancellations today, we will post here by 4pm and send out an email to our families and volunteers.

Well, folks, the weather changed pretty quickly and there is now some predicted thunderstorms at 6pm. To keep our kids and volunteers safe, we will be cancelling tonight's Fitness University. We will see you all next week!

Edited: Tonight is cancelled!

And just because Mother Nature likes to mess with us, we are keeping track of what appears to now be some thunderstorms popping up. We will post again around 4:15for the final decision. Sorry Folks!

Edited: TONIGHT IS CANCELLED
Fitness University IS ON for tonight! However, please note that it is very hot out, and there is an air quality advisory for tonight - we have asked our group leaders and volunteers to adjust activities accordingly. Please make sure you bring water for your kids! See you all in a few hours.

We are keeping an eye on the weather forecast and will make an announcement around 3pm as to whether Fitness University will be on tonight.

Another great night at Fitness University with clear blue skies!

Happy Tuesday!

It looks like we will have some great weather tonight for Fitness University! Please remember to bring water bottles for your children.
We want to remind you that parents/guardians need to remain inside the track area at all times. We also want to remind you that, while you can certainly walk the track during Fitness University, please use the outer 2 lanes only as our kids will be running on the track at various times.

Enjoy the sun, and we will see you all at 6pm!
