Happy Labor Day, everyone!

Enjoy the long weekend, HPF fam! 💚💪

You know the saying, never skip leg day? 🫡🦵

Meet the Precor Prone Leg Curl, one of those machines that may look simple, but your hamstrings will have PLENTY to say about it.

So, why add it to your next lower-body workout?

👉 Hamstring Hitters: The prone leg curl puts the focus right where you want it, the muscles along the back of your thighs.

👉 Strength Where It Matters: Strong hamstrings play an important role in knee stability, hip movement, and overall lower-body strength.

👉 Easy to Adjust: The adjustable ankle roller helps you get properly positioned, while the machine's guided movement lets you focus on slow, controlled reps.

👉 Balance Out Leg Day: Quads tend to get a lot of attention. Giving your hamstrings some dedicated work helps build a more well-rounded lower body.

Simple movement. Serious hamstring work. 🔥

A quick update to our staffed hours at Highland Park Fitness! ⏰

Moving forward, Highland Park Fitness will be staffed during the same hours as Powerhouse Nutrition next door. If you need assistance during the hours listed below, just stop into the Nutrition Shop and one of our staff members will be happy to help you!

Thanks for being part of HPF! 💚

Julia and Mia have some pretty exciting things ahead of them, and we're honored to have a front row seat of the process!

As these two get ready to take on their next chapter running track at Drake University, we're happy to be a small part of what happens behind the scenes. So, if you see a couple of Bulldogs putting in the work around HPF, make sure you say hi 😉🐶

We're excited to have you two around! Let's get to work 💪💪

We told you Julia was bringing another Drake Bulldog with her tomorrow... and now it's time to introduce her. 🤫😉

MEET MIA! 🐶💙

Mia will be joining Julia at Powerhouse Nutrition tomorrow starting at noon, and she’s bringing some serious speed with her:

⚡ 400m Personal Best: 56.47
⚡ 200m Personal Best: 25.74

We’re excited to have TWO Drake Bulldogs hanging out with us and even more excited to give our community a chance to come meet them, show them some love, and support the work they’re putting in on and off the track.

📅 Friday, August 28th
⏰ Starting at noon
📍 Powerhouse Nutrition

Now the secret’s officially out. 😉 Come hang out with Julia + Mia tomorrow! 💙

Stop in and support one of our own! 💪💪

🚨 SPONSORED ATHLETE DAY: We’ve got a Drake Bulldog taking over Powerhouse tomorrow! 🐶💙

Julia will be stopping in at noon, and we’ll be serving up her signature drink, Julia’s Jet Fuel ✈️🥤

And the name feels pretty fitting when you see what she can do on the track:

⏱️ 100M: 12.45 seconds
⏱️ 200M: 25.07 seconds

And naturally, her drink needed to keep up. Julia’s Jet Fuel is blue raspberry, mango + pineapple, and with every one purchased, Powerhouse will donate a portion back to Julia to help support future meets, travel, camps, and more.

Come hang out with Julia, try her Jet Fuel, and help us show some love to one of our local athletes as she starts this next chapter as a Drake Bulldog! 💙

📅 Friday, August 28
⏰ Starting at Noon
📍 Powerhouse Nutrition

OH, we almost forgot.... Julia will be accompanied by another Drake Bulldog tomorrow... more on that to come! 🤫😉

Drake University
See you tomorrow! 🙌

Get up-close and personal with THE gold standard of cardio machines: The Concept2 RowErg 🚣‍♂️

If you're looking for a true full-body, low-impact workout that burns calories, builds endurance, and pushes your limits, then this is the machine for you.

👉The air-resistance flywheel scales to your effort; the harder you pull, the harder it gets.
👉The PM5 Advantage: Tracks precise metrics (split pace, watts, stroke rate) so you can accurately measure your power output over time.
👉Built Like a Tank: Engineered from premium steel and aluminum to handle daily high-intensity use.

We’ve asked some of our members what one of their favorite parts about being part of the Highland Park Fitness community is, and we’ve heard this more than once: you don’t have to head home as soon as your workout is over. 🙂‍↕️

Our VIP Membership includes full gym access PLUS access to both our traditional and infrared saunas.

Some members hop in after a workout to give those tired muscles a little love. Others use it to unwind after a long day, and some just enjoy having a few quiet minutes to themselves. We gotta say, it’s a pretty nice addition to your routine. 🤷
