Introducing NMBL with Coach Shay (he/him).

Shay Kuebler is a creative director, choreographer, and movement artist who has worked with martial artists, Olympians, stunt performers, and dancers on some of the largest productions in entertainment. He started his theatre and martial arts training at age 5 and has spent his career studying everything from Shaolin Kung Fu and tap dance to Taiko drumming and physical theatre. We are very lucky to have him bringing something completely new to our gym.

NMBL is a 45-minute class built around footwork, coordination, power, conditioning and rhythm, all set to music. It uses music and a triangle on the floor as adaptive training tools, and the goal is simple: stay fast, powerful, coordinated and on your feet.

This one is genuinely unlike anything else on our schedule.

Fridays at 3pm starting September 18 through October 9. 4 sessions, 8 spots maximum.

$100 + tax for the full course or $28 + tax to drop in.

Call 236-255-1979 or email [email protected] to register.

A love letter to Coach Ash.

After almost two years as the queen of Super Circuit, Coach Ash is heading to Victoria at the end of August to continue her career in movement coaching. And we have a lot of feelings about it.

If you've taken Super Circuit with Ash, you know exactly what we're talking about. Her cues are detailed, her coaching is relentless (in the best possible way), and she has a way of pushing you that somehow always feels encouraging. She made that class what it is and our community is better for it.

Ash wanted us to pass this along: she absolutely loved working here. It's been a formative time for her and she is going to miss the community, the team, and her clients deeply.

From our end, we are going to miss a lot of things about Ash. Her proactivity, her curiosity, her willingness to support everyone around her, and her stories of collecting stones, seeds, flowers and berries on her way to work. A true one of a kind.

The good news is she has promised to visit and maybe even guest teach some classes down the road. So this isn't goodbye forever.

Ash, we are so proud of you and we are cheering you on every step of the way. Victoria is lucky to have you.

🎉 WE HAVE A WINNER 🎉

Chrissy Simon, you just won yourself a FREE 6 month unlimited membership at Wild + United. 🖤

We ran our summer giveaway from July 24 to August 24 and you all showed up in the biggest way. Reviews, follows, tagged posts, friends brought to class, friends who signed up because you talked us up. Every single one of those actions mattered and we noticed.

To everyone who entered, thank you. This community is the reason we get to do what we do every day. We see you and we appreciate you more than a caption can really say. Keep an eye on your inbox, every single one of you has a little surprise waiting there too. 📬

Chrissy, we'll be in touch about getting your 6 months started. Get ready.

Got questions about the giveaway or want to know what's next? Email us at [email protected] or give us a call.

The Big Lift is back for December, and this year we're doing it differently.

Instead of a single event day, we're bringing PR attempts right into Strong + United class. Two weeks, December 1-14, every Strong + United class counts. You pick your lift: bench, squat, or deadlift. Your coach supervises the attempt. Your result goes on the board.

No registration fee. No separate event to show up to. Just you, the bar, and a room full of people in your corner.

Want to make it mean something extra? Collect pledges from your people and add to our Christmas food bank donation. Totally optional, but it's a good reason to tell everyone you know that you're going for a PR.

Start thinking about what you want to lift. December will be here fast.

More details and sign-ups coming in the fall.

500 Club Spotlight: Mackenzie 🏆

Mackenzie is an evening class regular who shows up consistently, works hard, and is always there alongside her best gym pal. She is friendly, kind, and exactly the kind of person who makes a community feel like one.

Here's what Mackenzie had to say about hitting 500 classes:

"500 classes at Wild + United has taught me that consistency is where the magic happens. Thank you to all the coaches and this incredible community for making showing up something I genuinely look forward to. Your encouragement, energy, and support are a huge part of why I've made it to this milestone!"

Fun facts about Mackenzie:

When she's not at the gym she's usually running, biking, hiking, or finding new ways to wear out her Border Collie before the Border Collie wears her out.

Her athletic style is "I'll try anything twice." Her sporting career is built almost entirely on enthusiasm and questionable confidence.

Mackenzie, 500 classes is a big deal and you've earned every single one. Here's to the next 500.
