NEW AT THE SCHOOL OF STRENGTH  | NOVEMBER 21, 2018
Ladies and Gentlemen, 

This week, in advance of the Thanksgiving celebrations in the U.S., we take this opportunity to thank each of our mentors for their insights, and ever student—past, present, and future—for entrusting us with some of your strength journey. Every day, we see what pursuing strength brings to our lives and yours, far beyond any poundage lifted. We are grateful for our ability to practice, be mindful, care about quality, commit to goals, make tough choices, take positive steps towards being better tomorrow than we are today, and inspire others to do so as well. 

ALL THE SWINGS Weekend: November 23 to 25th
We are also grateful for an opportunity to help one of our own, Dustin Rippetoe, in his kidney transplant journey. ALL THE SWINGS is a 15-minute kettlebell swing challenge to be performed on Friday November 23rd through Sunday November 25th should you wish to join. This "virtual" event can be performed where you are...anywhere in the world. Ask your friends and family to pledge a certain amount for every swing you do in 15- minutes. Do your swings! Collect the money from your pledgers and donate the total to the Dustin Rippetoe's Health Fund at GoFundMe. Visit ALL THE SWINGS for Dustin's story, more details about the event, and prize information. We thank everyone who can donate.

Power to you.
