OPEN HOUSE NEXT SATURDAY 5/9 AT 1P - 2:30P

It’s been quite a while since I wrote one of these!

If this is the first one you’ve read, scroll back and read some others (nutrition, etc)
We’re moving! I’ve been talking about this for years and there have been so many different iterations, but finally, the ideal situation presented itself, so just like 2018, I’m trusting and doubling down on what we’re (all) building at The Standard.
We’re going to have so much more space for services and community. I know some of you need a shower, we’ll get one. Some of you want a place to chill and chat, we’ll have one. Some of you aren’t up for metcons everyday, we’ll have a space for other stuff.
Parking will be improved for most of you!
We’ll never be blocked by parades or runs.
We won’t have as much homeless panhandling or drunken shananigans
So much more that I can’t write out right now.

There are admittedly a few downgrades, flooring, running availability, rope heights, but I think those will be mostly minimized by the upgrades. I’m also going to buy some replacements and upgrade for our equipment that I’ve been wanting for a long time and everyone will appreciate (i.e. abmats that are actually firm, boxes that won’t attack you).

So the main reason for this blog is to let you know we’ll be having an open house to see the building and what it looks like right now. Next Saturday at 1p-2:30ish, that’s 5/9/2026. I’ll have a few tacos if you need lunch or a snack. Bring anyone and everyone you like. As long as they’re cool. :) I can’t wait for you to see what I see.

Let’s have a great assessment week!!

Ben.
