šŸš— PARKING UPDATE

Hey yā€™all ā€” sorry about the current parking situation!

We (the tenants) werenā€™t informed about the upcoming repairs until the day before. Due to some complications, the work wonā€™t be completed until Wednesday evening. Parking will be fully restored by Thursday morning.

We really appreciate your patience ā€” we know how frustrating this can be.

In the meantime:

  • Please check theĀ “Parking” section in our FAQĀ for info on where to park around the gym.
  • Be mindful when sharing theĀ back parking areaĀ with our neighbors:
    • Do not park beyond the cinder block wallĀ (where the white Suburban parks).
    • Do not double parkĀ alongside another vehicle by the rear fence.

We’ve added images in the FAQ to help clarify ā€” please refer to them to avoid any confusion. Weā€™re still receiving texts from neighbors asking folks to move their cars šŸ˜¬.

Thank you again for all your help and understanding!

šŸ’” FAREWELL, COACH JEANNIE

A message from Coach Jeannie:

ā€œI am officially leaving TBI as a coach and athlete this month ā€” but forever here as a friend and supporter.

This hasnā€™t been an easy decision. TBI has been my home for all of my adult life. Itā€™s my comfort zone, my safe space. But as I begin a new chapter focused on school and personal ventures, I leave with a full heart.

TBI changed the trajectory of my life, gave me courage, and carried me through experiences I never thought Iā€™d have. Iā€™m so grateful to this place and everyone Iā€™ve met here.

Thank you for making me braver, stronger, and more compassionate. Itā€™s been a privilege to fight under this name and an even greater honor to have coached you.

Iā€™ve poured so much of myself into this community, and in return, Iā€™ve received tenfold. I love TBI deeply ā€” and always will.

To Coach Vic ā€” you know. Thank you for everything.ā€

My last day will be April 19th.

Come reminisce with me after Saturday training.

Final class: Monday, April 15th @ 6/7 PM ā€” come kick me in the face one last time! šŸ’„

We love you, Coach Jeannie ā¤ļø
