šŸš— PARKING UPDATE

Hey y’all — sorry about the current parking situation!

We (the tenants) weren’t informed about the upcoming repairs until the day before. Due to some complications, the work won’t be completed until Wednesday evening. Parking will be fully restored by Thursday morning.

We really appreciate your patience — 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 — please refer to them to avoid any confusion. We’re still receiving texts from neighbors asking folks to move their cars 😬.

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 — but forever here as a friend and supporter.

This hasn’t been an easy decision. TBI has been my home for all of my adult life. It’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 I’d have. I’m so grateful to this place and everyone I’ve met here.

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

I’ve poured so much of myself into this community, and in return, I’ve received tenfold. I love TBI deeply — and always will.

To Coach Vic — 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 — come kick me in the face one last time! šŸ’„

We love you, Coach Jeannie ā¤ļø
