The FIRM Mpls

This truck full of equipment is headed to Victoria Falls Boxing Academy and Children’s Home in Zimbabwe via the organization 🧡

MATTER is a Minnesota-based global nonprofit that helps people launch projects that improve communities. They work in collaboration with partners, donors, volunteers, and supporters to impact some of the most remote, forgotten, and forsaken places on earth. To date, these collaborative projects have helped improve life for 49.1 million people worldwide.

It fills our hearts knowing that the sale of some of The FIRM’s equipment is contributing to the Victoria Falls Boxing Academy. This fully functioning gym is a source of hope, love, and opportunity for many orphaned youths in Zimbabwe and serves as the financial engine to support the children’s home.

Thank you to Dean (in the “you matter” shirt) and this crew for connecting us to this project! To learn more about this impact driven organization and the Victoria Falls Boxing Academy & Children’s Home project, visit the link in bio!

Thank you Natalie Larsen, FIRM staff member & client, for this beautifully written tribute!💓

I think it’s fair to say, we all have a story about the first time we experienced the MAGIC of The FIRM!✨

After 37 years, the oldest boutique fitness studio in the Twin Cities is leaving behind some sizable shoes to fill.

📣 Exciting news from Greg! 👇📣
 
“Hey ,
 
As many of you know, I've been a part of The FIRM Mpls family since 2016. It's been a phenomenal journey—first as a client, and then as a CrossFit instructor since 2020. I've had the honor of leading you through more than 500 classes, from CrossFit to FIRM Strong, Bootcamp, HIIT Strength, HIIT Run, and even a Cycle class! 🏋️‍♀️🏃‍♂️🚴‍♀️
 
The FIRM has always been my "happy place" where I could teach and inspire outside of my day job at a consultancy firm here in Minneapolis. Well, life just threw me an incredible curveball. 🌴
 
I'm excited to announce that I've been offered a six-month international assignment in the Bahamas, specifically on the island of Nassau! I'll be managing a tenant improvement project and diving into a new culture and environment. 🌞
 
Don't worry—I'm NOT leaving The FIRM. Think of it as a brief intermission.
 
Thank you for your ongoing support and encouragement. The FIRM has made me who I am today, and I can't wait to bring back new insights and energy to our community when I return.
 
Stay strong, stay fit, and stay connected, 🌟”

We are so proud of Greg and this exciting change! ❤️ Make sure to come take his classes all week long. His last one before he leaves is Sunday 8:45am APT.

Who would have ever thought that three friends, a credit card, and a boom box could turn the joy of music and dance into a lifestyle and livelihood that has lasted over 37 years?

Over the years, The FIRM has worked out with more than 30,000 people; taught upwards of 130,000 classes; created nearly 400 jobs; and collaborated with over 100 local vendors. Not to mention, created a warm and welcoming environment that always allowed people to be their true selves. It has fostered countless relationships - lifelong friendships, marriages and who knows how many children? - all of which made every day a great day at THE FIRM.

In early 2023, we sold our building and property at 1010 2nd Ave N, downsized and moved to The Shops at West End. It is our desire to remain at this location. In order to sign a long-term lease and execute a dedicated remodel (with showers!), which is already in the planning stages, we will need to secure outside investment to expand. We are exhausting all possible options for keeping The FIRM fully operational.

If we do not meet this objective by the end of October, our last day of business will be Tuesday, October 31st, 2023. 

With deep gratitude, knowing words are not enough, I thank each and every one of you for being an integral part of The FIRM community.

Love,
Kelly Miyamoto
