 Dearest Gentle Reader, June is here, and with it comes a shift in focus. The first half of the year is behind us. Summer is arriving. Schedules get busier, vacations start popping up, kids are out of school, and routines become easier to break. At KING Strength, we see this time of year differently. Summer isn't the time to lose momentum. It's an opportunity to build it. This month we're launching our new TEAM Training model, kicking off the Summer Sprint Challenge, celebrating Pride Month, and finishing the quarter with our Q2 Combine and Member Appreciation Potluck. June is also Pride Month, a time to celebrate authenticity, inclusion, and the idea that everyone deserves to feel welcomed, respected, and supported exactly as they are. At KING Strength, we believe fitness should be for everyone, and we remain committed to creating an environment where all people can train confidently and feel like they belong. Throughout the month we'll also be raising money for The Trevor Project, supporting LGBTQ+ youth through our monthly charity workout. Whether your goal is getting stronger, losing body fat, improving your conditioning, moving better, or simply staying consistent through a busy season, June is about showing up and stacking wins. One thing I've learned over the years is that people rarely stay consistent because of a workout program alone. They stay because of relationships. They stay because they know people are expecting to see them. They stay because they feel like they belong somewhere. My hope is that this group becomes another place for those relationships to grow. - Gerrick INTRODUCING OUR NEWEST FAMILY MEMBERGenevieve Maeve King, Gigi for short. 5/2/26 @ 1:24PM Weight 7lbs 4.8oz Length 20.5 inches JOIN OUR NEW MEMBER ONLY FACEBOOK GROUP Over the years we've built a pretty active community inside the gym, through text messages, conversations between sets, events, workshops, charity workouts, and our Instagram group chat. This month we're excited to officially re-launch our new KING Strength Members Facebook Group. The goal is simple: create another place for members to connect, support each other, share wins, ask questions, stay accountable, and continue building relationships outside of the gym. Inside the group you'll find: • Weekly member check-ins • Challenge updates • Event announcements • Educational resources • Workshop materials • Nutrition and recovery content • Member wins and celebrations • Community discussions • Additional accountability and support While the gym floor will always be where the real work happens, we've learned that people tend to stay consistent longer when they feel connected to the community around them. Whether you're someone who likes to participate in discussions regularly or simply wants a place to stay informed about what's happening at KING Strength, we'd love to have you join us. Join the KING Strength Members Facebook Group here: May 2026 Consistency Club What is the Consistency Club? It's KING Strength's Honor Roll. The Consistency Club is all about rewarding the real secret to results: consistency. Train 12+ times in a month and you'll be entered into our monthly raffle for complimentary Semi-Private Training 2x per week the following month. Remember: Goal for June: 12–16 visits this month. That's roughly 3–4 training sessions per week and one of the simplest ways to guarantee progress especially since it will only get harder when school ends and kids are at home.

Help us create a community where everyone belongs. 💙💚💛🧡❤️💜 INTRODUCING TEAM TRAINING (CLASS REVAMP)Over the last several years, our group training system has evolved significantly. What started as separate Strength and BASE programming tracks helped us build an incredible foundation focused on strength, movement quality, mobility, conditioning, and long-term health. As our community has grown, we've continued asking a simple question: How do we create the best possible training experience for the majority of people we serve? The answer is TEAM Training. TEAM Training combines:
Most importantly, TEAM Training is designed to complement your Semi-Private Training program, not replace it. Together they create a complete system built around helping adults:
JUNE 2026 TEAM TRAINING BLOCK THEMEThis month's programming is inspired by the work of legendary Soviet sports scientist Yuri Verkhoshansky, often called the Father of Plyometrics. Verkhoshansky's research focused on explosive strength, force production, athletic movement, landing mechanics, and the body's ability to absorb and redirect force efficiently. While his methods were originally developed for elite athletes, we've adapted the underlying principles for everyday adults. Throughout June you'll see:
The goal isn't to turn everyone into Olympic athletes. The goal is to help adults regain qualities many people lose over time:
But strength expressed quickly is what keeps us athletic. Whether you're chasing a PR, carrying your kids, playing pickleball, hiking, running a 5K, or simply wanting to move through life more confidently, this month's programming was built for you. HELP US GROW OUR COMMUNITYWays you can support: 1. Refer a friend, family member, co-worker to join the gym! If you know someone who would benefit from training here, bring them in. Referrals are the backbone of our community and help us keep growing with the right people. As a thank you, you’ll get $100 off your next month, and they’ll get $100 off their first month. It’s a simple way to support us while helping someone you care about get stronger too. 2. Leave us a 5-star Google review! Your feedback goes a long way in helping us grow as a small business and reach more people who are looking for the kind of training and community we’ve built here.
