Happy first day of classes, Blugolds. 💙⚡️
A few reminders as you return:
NEW STUDENTS - check in at The Store to complete setting up your free membership with us! If the store is closed, check in right at the Fitness Center desk. We can’t wait to see you!
Oh, and did we forget to mention some new merch has hit The Store? While you’re here, shop for your first-day-of-school outfit (just in time for that picture we know your family will *still* be asking for). 🫡
Have a great year, Blugolds!
