We’re checking air quality every day. When air quality dips to poor, we’ll keep the workouts indoors – no running. If you’re susceptible to asthma attacks, please check with your doctor prior to hitting a metcon.

 

Diablo Adventure Club – Black Diamond Mines Tour  

On Sunday the 11th, the Diablo Adventure Club toured the Black Diamond Mines in Antioch. This was very cool and included a deep descent into the hills of Antioch. Only a few miles from Pleasant Hill, the Black Diamond coal & sand mines provided were the primary source of coal for San Francisco & Sacramento. Be sure to join the Diablo Adventure Club Facebook Group to stay up on all future events. Thanks Coach Jen!
