Welcome to The Garage Gym 🤝🏻

Life's too short for shi**y gyms. So, we made The Garage.

The Garage Gym Newsletter is:

-A resource for members to stay in the loop on all community events, meet other members, and learn something new.
-A resource for potential members to learn what we're up to at The Garage Gym and see if a call w/ our Onboarding Officer is a fit to explore membership.

If you somehow got this newsletter in error, welcome.

You can unsubscribe at any time below (but that would be silly).

Let's see what October’s newsletter has in store.

Fitness around the 🌎

Events that inspire | Badwater135

The Badwater 135 is widely regarded as one of the toughest ultramarathons in the world, covering 135 miles from Badwater Basin in Death Valley—at 282 feet below sea level—to Whitney Portal at 8,360 feet.

Taking place each July, runners face extreme desert heat often exceeding 120°F, brutal elevation gains of over 14,000 feet, and long stretches of relentless asphalt. The race is invitation-only, with a small, elite field of endurance athletes who must battle both the elements and their own limits to finish within the 48-hour cutoff.
