Buckhead Ruck Club turned 2 years old today!!! 🥳 While we’ve only been on Instagram since June ‘21, our very first “ruck meetup” was in December 2020!
When we first started our club, we didn’t know about GORUCK — we were looking for a way to get outside and workout while the gyms in Atlanta were closed. On a “good” Friday, 5 people showed up (swipe to see some OG’s!) When we learned about GORUCK, we knew we had some potential. There were many people along the way who told us it would never be successful, and that we needed to pick a different time because nobody will show up on Fridays at 0530. Some even told us that most clubs that take off quickly fizzle (thanks Cadre for that… because we love a good challenge!). Shorty after we started meeting, we applied on ’s website to be an official club. Then we started doing events. Then we ordered club patches. And slowly but surely, we have grown into a club that welcomes over 20+ people every other Friday, and over 50 members that affiliate with us!
We are infinitely thankful for everyone that has contributed to Buckhead Ruck Club over the past 2 years. We are extra thankful to , & for starting the club and keeping it going. From dedicating their time, spending their own money, letting the club meet at their house, encouraging members to sign up for events, and providing the space and opportunity for people to learn & grow!
