Spreading Out

Monday, January 28th, 2013

It's done!  The wall between the "old space" and "new space" at TCF has come down.  As we worked at the box today, we couldn't help but think about you guys, our second family, and we actually walked down memory lane for a bit  - we talked about the early days, the folks that have been on this journey with us the longest as well as our newest athletes, the celebrations over the years, and even the good-byes to those who have had to go   Before opening TCF, we never could have imagined the bonds that would be created through this adventure.  We are thankful to be surrounded by an amazing community of people and it is because of this that we will always aim to give you the best that we can.  There is still work to be done at the box before everything is ready to go but we hope you guys are going to enjoy your "new gym."  You all deserve it!

*** SPECIAL NOTE FOR TCF PARENTS -  We need your help!  Parents, TCF is still very much under renovation and we CANNOT have any children making their way into the "new space" as of yet.  As before, they must remain in the lobby area while you are attending class.  We have arranged the furniture so that they cannot walk over to the other side easily but we ask that you please communicate with your children not to not climb over the couches, boxes, etc.  Once the renovations are done, children will have access to the "Kid Zone" where they can hang out during their stay.  Until then, please talk with them about where they can and cannot go.  If you have any questions, please let us know.  Thanks for your help!

It is with great sadness we report the famous "Wall Dog" at TCF is
no longer with us.  We tried our very best to save her but gravity and a
snapped rope won the match.  Although no other will be quite as special
as her, we plan to continue the tradition and are already making
plans for her successor.

I'm saddened to hear that the "Wall Dog" was lost. I remember how much time Clay spent up on a ladder tracing and coloring that thing. That was a wod for him! Glad to hear there will be a successor.
