Nowhere else can you train alongside Stanley Cup Champions, Olympians, professional athletes, marathoners, ultra-marathoners, triathletes, college athletes (past and present), and the average Joe who wants to get in shape. You can check out the November Project Tracker to find out when and where to meet. The best part of November Project is it’s free. Forever.
