    Rest Day.
    Sounds odd but were gonna try this for a while.
    So this is how this can work. Most of you take Sat. off already. But for those of you that just can't get enough, or feel like you need another day, the Gym is yours. I strongly suggest though if you come in on Sat. DO NOT DO THIS ALONE. Grab another member and make it a play date. And above all be safe and have fun.
