This Week at MKG Madison! June 5th

Happy Monday

from

Welcome to Summer! 

 
Make sure that you keep working toward your goals during the summer. It will be very easy with the beautiful weather, festivals and vacations, to lose focus on your training. Don’t get me wrong, enjoy the summer activities, but don’t forget how hard you worked to get where you are. Keep up your training! 
 
See you at the gym!
