eighty plus people. one room. ninety minutes. one goal. $1,100 raised. one amazing community.
The numbers tell the story, but the energy behind them? That’s the part you had to feel.
Our extra-long COMBAT class is always special… but this year was on a whole different level. Moving into the SMS gym so we could fit more people felt like a big step—then over E I G H T Y of you showed up ready to punch, kick, sweat, and somehow smile your way through N I N E T Y minutes of absolute energy.
And then you did something even more incredible: together, this community raised $1,100 for the St. Vincent de Paul Community Assistance Center. Truly unbelievable.
Huge shoutout to the school for letting us use the gym (and to the staff who jumped in!), and an extra-big thank-you to Dr. Brett from Bonfire Chiropractic, who not only survived his first-ever Combat class but also made an extremely generous donation.
There’s just something about this class. Looking around and seeing mothers and daughters, siblings, best friends, new faces, old friends—everyone moving together—hit different this year. The energy was electric!
When a workout can mix your sweat with your tears and leave you smiling… you know you’ve created something special.
I hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful. I’m so deeply thankful for this community and every single one of you. ❤️
