We have a quick but important update regarding P360 Turns 1 this Saturday. Due to some extenuating circumstances we’ve had to slightly alter the plan for the day. Here’s the quick breakdown.

1) Olympics – 9:30 am – 2 pm. We’ll have some great competition so you are encouraged to come by and check it out even if you are not participating. It will definitely be exciting as folks are competing for almost $1,000!

2) Open House – 12 – 2:30 pm. We’ll have catered food, the ongoing Olympics, water rentals, outdoor loungin’ area and P360 raffle where we’re giving away free months, prizes, gift cards to local businesses and the Grand Prize Train Free 4 Life! If you want to win, you gotta be there!

• Cornhole Tournament – 12:30 pm (winner drinks on P360 during the bar crawl! Email us to sign up)
• Raffle – 2:00 pm

3) Bar Crawl – 2:30 – ??. This is the main change. Unfortunately, we are not able to serve alcohol in the gym as we previously planned so we are going to end things a little earlier than planned and make our way to Mission Blvd to start the fun after the Olympics and Open House. This will be a fun one and we encourage you and your friends to join us, whether they are members or not. The order of bars will be

• Sneak Joint
• Beachwood
• Shore Club
• Duck Dive

We’ll be departing as a group at 2:30 and making our way down Mission all day long. So, come by for some food, fun and raffle beforehand and then we’ll get weird.

Pumped to have you all out here to celebrate our first year and don’t forget to email us your Cornhole team name!

’1 for 1′ Referral Challenge

We’ve been slacking a little on promoting this challenge but it hits the ground running this week big time.

As a reminder, here are the details:

Our goal is to have every single member refer just one new member by August 1st.

…….

…….

Now, if we hit this goal we will give it back in the form of an all expenses paid party/trip/destination of some kind.  We don’t know what or where but we are thinking something over the course of an entire weekend where you can come and go, over the top, everyone included complete awesome time.   We’re hopeful to get Snoop to come play live in his green hat.

Additionally, you’d really just be helping us out a lot to which we’d be highly appreciative.

Starting tomorrow you will see a board dedicated to this running tally.

We can do this, guys.  All it takes is you individually referring a single new person!!

P360 Turns 1 & Olympics

As a reminder we have our 1-Year Anniversary Party coming up on Saturday, May 19th!

• When: Saturday, May 19th
• Time: 12 pm – 4 pm
• Where: Performance360 Gym & Sneak Joint after
  
• Who: You and Your Friends
  

RSVP HERE

* Sneak Joint bartenders pouring drinks at the gym.
* Cornhole Tournament
* P360 Raffle – Grand Prize Train Free for Life
* Catered food and drinks
* 2nd Annual P360 Olympics – it’s not to late to register and compete!

We really hope you can make it for some or all of the day’s events!

Expansion, Gear & Boot Camp Times

• If you have not been to the gym in the last few days then you haven’t seen the latest order of t-shirts and tanks we received from GGS Screen Printing.  They are real solid shirts, high quality American Apparel fancy pants stuff and selling for $20.  We can add it to your account, as well.

• The expansion into the boat yard is moving along and promises to be done by May 1st.   It will be fenced off and floored and in the beginning will be open air training.  Very excited to have this as part of our facility and we think you guys are going to notice a big improvement.  Please also know that the intention of the expansion is not to overcrowd the facility and have you guys bumping into one another, but to allow us the space we need in order to thrive as a business for the long-term.  The outdoor space is going to really space things out and allow more breathing room for some of the more popular class times.

• We certainly recognize that boot camp is gaining popularity as the weather continues to get nicer and the days longer.  The next step on our end will be bringing a boot camp to either the morning hours or possibly a third evening slot, as well.  If you are a boot camp regular then please provide your feedback on preferred times.

• We will be increasing the size of our staff in May.  That’s all you get on that end for now

As always, let us know what we can do to make your membership here a better one.

-Dave & Pritz

Thank you…

A lot of cheesy speeches and shit always begin with some version of “couldn’t have done this without___” when in reality, that person could have definitely done it without their third makeup assistant coffee fetcher.

We’re also not vain enough to think a business making it to a year is some milestone worthy of extreme self appreciation, but we need to give credit where credit is due.

The reality is definite in our case, though.  We simply could not have made it through the crucial first year of business without you guys and cannot express how appreciative and grateful we are that you have chosen our small project as your gym.  We are the outcast in the ever changing, fast moving fitness industry and you are bringing credibility and proof to what we are doing tucked back on the water isn’t just a bunch of crazy people carrying sandbags, lifting weights, sprinting…and enjoying it.

We never could have guessed that this video below would turn into a community of 150 strong and growing in the first year.

(You can see what this place looked like before we moved in!)

We do not yet know what year two has in store for us but we know that Performance360 will always remain a strong community to which ownership is dedicated to putting members first, profit second.

So thank you for a great year.  It has been a blast getting to know you all individually and bearing witness to some truly outstanding transformations.

Let’s make year two all the better.

Grateful Owners,

Dave & Pritz

We have some really big news regarding referrals, contests and a huge party we’ll throw if we reach the group goal.

As you know we are a small business and the number one way we stay alive is through member referrals.  You guys have really helped us out over the first year and in year two, we are counting on an even bigger push to keep Performance360 clicking the way you’ve all come to know.

’1 for 1′ Referral Challenge

Here are the details:

• Our goal is to have every single member refer just one new member by July 4th.
• If this is done, P360 will throw a massive party, all expenses paid, over the top, best event we’ve ever done over the full course of a weekend. No expense spared, we will THROW DOWN on this one if we hit it.  Rent a house with a pool somewhere, get cotton candy machines, clowns, and throw an all day rager.

We will be keeping a huge tracker in the gym so that it’s visible and we can see where we are at in terms of  goal being reached.  If someone refers more than one person it can count towards someone who might have trouble referring a member.  But at the end of the day, it’s just one person and we all know someone who can/wants to join the group.

Hit us with any questions.

April: P360 Mega Lotto

Okay, so maybe it’s not $641 million but it’s a couple hundred bucks to go to bills, fun or whatever you want to spend it on.  You’ll notice under the whiteboard that the current contest is a referral cash lottery and it’s very simple.

• You refer a new member and it gets you an entry.  Every referral above that gets you two more entries.
• We throw $25 into the pot every time a referral joins (and count each towards the 1 for 1 Challenge.

Right now we are already up to $75 and it’s only April 2nd so I’d expect this to get up to a couple hundred bucks when it’s all said and done.  Just one referral gets you into the mix!

P360 Turns 1

In case you have the massive self promotion on the gym wall or Facebook Event, our little operation is turning one on April 18th.  Craziness that a year has gone by that quickly and we are incredibly thankful you guys have allowed that milestone to be reached.

Our one year party will be Saturday, May 19th and you can read all about it here. Please stop by and feel free to bring any friends you want.  It’s going to be a really fun day and have something for everyone going on.

P360 Olympics

Also happening May 19th will be the 2nd Annual P360 Olympics and sign-ups have been going great!  Don’t miss out on your chance to win cash or even a prize simply for placing in the top-5 of each event.  We have people of all fitness levels competing and don’t be that guy or gal that sits on the sideline!  At the end of the day it will be a fun event to which you can seriously compete or just push yourself individually and accomplish something pretty cool.

Details and registration information, here.

Gym Expansion

We are really excited to announce that P360 will be expanding its space into the boat yard out back starting May 1!  We certainly realize that when at capacity we are pretty cramped and the last thing we want to do is force people into a space insufficient to hold it.

We will never compromise the workout.

So, the easy decision was to purchase some space from our neighbors and over the course of the next few weeks we’ll be undergoing minor construction to get it floored, fenced off and equipped for training.

To go along with this expansion we’re purchasing additional equipment that will be here in a few weeks that includes heavier kettlebells, med balls, some sandbags, jump ropes, barbells and other things we need.  Your feedback was appreciated.

Thanks,

Management

On a personal note, I could not be more excited to crush myself in a workout after one absurd weekend in New York City with my friends.  So, if you had a rough weekend then we’re in this together and we’ll get through it today.

We have some exciting things going on in the gym that we’d like to share with you all, so here goes.

Facebook Photo Contest

You may have seen the mention of it in the Current Events section of the gym, but in case you’re not the type who pays attention to that stuff (you should), then here is how it’s going to work.

• What: Photo Contest on Facebook
• When: March 1 – March 15
• Why: Help us grow, earn discount on membership
• Prize: Pick either a limo night with you and your friends or 3 months free membership! (depending on how many people sign-up)
• What You Need To Do To Enter: email us with a P360 photo of yourself, or have us pick one for you, or come to the gym this Saturday and we’ll take one for you.  Either way, it starts with an email that you’re in.

Here are how the details are going to work.

1. Step 1: You enter the contest with an email to us.
2. Step 2: We put the photo in our Facebook Album, “P360 Photo Contest”.
3. Step 3: You encourage your friends to like, comment or share the picture.  You get a point for each and at the end of the 2-week contest the picture with the most accumulated points is the winner!  Every friend that interacts with the picture will be entered into a raffle where we will be giving away FIVE of the following.

* 2-Weeks Free Indoor Classes
* 2-Weeks Free Boot Camp
* Free Month Online Training

It’s that easy.

Regardless of whether or not you win, you will earn a discount off your next month for the amount of points you accumulate.  So, it’s a way for us to promote the gym and you guys to earn an EASY discount on your training.  You can add up 25 points with no effort and it’s a quick 25 bucks off your membership.

So let’s see those emails come in with participants!

(Note: we are finishing up processing the January Facebook Contest and will be in touch this week if you are to receive a discount.)

Member Shout Outs

Another great week of accomplishments too big to fit on a single board!  We love seeing the first timers up there as it typically indicates getting past comfort level for the first time.  Way to go, guys!

Dave Thomas Performance

You guys may have noticed some mentions online of a website I have started not too long ago.  It’s something that I both do for fun and to help people, as I enjoy writing and coaching alike and would appreciate any help in spreading the word.  My goal is three to five entries a week covering a wide range of topics that are driven by members and readers so please suggest any topics you are interested in learning more about.

It’s free and meant for both education and entertainment so please check it out if you haven’t already, and send to as many friends as you can!

Here is the website.

March 31th Brewery Bus

Our next social event will be the very last Saturday in March as we’ll be taking a bus around San Diego’s finest breweries.  It’s going to be midday so we can make it back for the NCAA Tournament and will undoubtedly be a not lame time.

We don’t have anything finalized, but here is what you can most likely expect.

• When: Saturday, March 31, 11 am – 5 pm
• Where: Ballast Point, Karl Strauss, Green Flash and Stone all on our planning list.
• What: 50 person bus
• Cost: ~$15 – $20

Tentatively RSVP, here.

Once we have it finalized we’ll start a sign-up list and it is going to be first come first serve for the 50 but just wanted to give you guys the preemptive heads up.

What is P360?

We’ve recently updated our ‘What is Performance360?’ video and in case you’ve missed it you can check it out below!

Specialty Classes

We have been paying close attention to attendance in all of the specialty classes and it’s been great to see the interest level there in all of the options we currently have for you guys.

• Core Blast – Tue/Thur, 5 pm
• Yoga for Athletes – Thur, 6:15 pm
• Power Hour - 7 pm

Pritz and I have talked about adding a 5 pm option available every day, whether it’s always a core blast class, possibly a boot camp or maybe something else.  We  have kicked around the idea of having a constantly changing theme of each 5 pm day so that it could look something like this.

• Monday – sport-performance (plyometrics, etc)
• Tuesday – core blast
• Wednesday – boot camp style
• Thursday – core blast
• Friday – race training workout

Those are just examples but you get the idea.  Something that provides constant variety and challenge that rotates on a daily basis.

What do you guys think?

So that’s it for this week.  Get involved in that photo contest and let us know what we can do for you guys!

-DT

Sincerely,

Bitter Betty

Big Bear, 2/17

We don’t have much new news in this Newsletter but wanted to use it as a way to let you guys know we have officially booked a cabin in Big Bear the weekend of February 17th.

Here are the complete details of the cabin we have booked.

In summary,

• SIZE: It is a 33-person cabin with a 40 foot deck, 8 bedrooms and located next to a bar and a rental shop.  If we hit 33 and we have requests for more, we will call the cabin and see what else we can do but right now it is FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE.

• COST: It will be between $66 and $100 depending on how many people we get.  Right now, we have 16 people who have signed up.

• LOGISTICS: Check in will be roughly 4 pm on Friday and check out will be 11 am Sunday.  You are more than welcome to head up early on Friday to hit the mountain and then just meet at the cabin later for check-in.  For those interested, we will caravan from the P360 parking lot at 12 pm Friday, the 17th.  Again, feel free to head up whenever you want.

• LIFT TICKETS & RENTALS: We will get discounts on rentals and lift tickets if you need either.

Go ahead and let us know if you would like to invite someone else and we will put that person on the waiting list.  If we do not fill the 33 people via P360 members then we will open it up to your friends.

Here are some pics of the cabin we’ve booked.

Let’s fill this thing up and have an absurd weekend.

Member Shout Outs

Another week of pretty incredible personal accomplishments by P360 members highlighted by two female records being padded, two 400# deadlifts, two women going three feet in the air, a near 3x body weight deadlift and other other awesome stuff.

Jump Start Your Heart

As a reminder, our charity 5k is this weekend and if you are still interested in signing up then head on over to the official information page. Registration is just $30 and it all goes to the Children’s Heart Foundation.  The race finishes in the P360 parking lot and post-race festivities will be held all day long at Sneak Joint.  It promises to be a great time so let’s all head out and raise some money for what we feel is a truly great cause.

Let us know if you have registered and we can will form a P360 group to run together.
