TJ’s CLASS OF 2020: KELSEY MATSIK
Congratulations to Kelsey on her graduation from Marin Catholic and her many successes as a high school athlete. Read more about Kelsey’s journey below.
As a committed soccer player and track athlete, Kelsey has taken kids and teens classes, done personal training and been a regular at Thanksgiving family workouts over the eleven years that her parents have been members. She learned fundamentals of weightlifting with us and her parents report that she uses the free weights in their garage and at the Marin Catholic weight room regularly. Parents Kristen and Brad are especially proud that Kelsey will be squatting more than the boys at the University of Virginia gym for the next four years!
2002. Lyle was born 4 months after opening.

THE END OF AN ERA
Yesterday we said goodbye to the TJ’s San Rafael location, 18 years, 2 kids, 2 dogs, and an entirely new extended family later. If you missed our closing announcement a few weeks ago, you can read HERE about how we came to this decision and what the future holds.
While the closure of this physical location is a hit to us and our community, we are also excited about how it will allow us to forge ahead with the many ways we serve you and your fitness and community needs. In these challenging times, overhead and responsibility of that magnitude can be literally crippling to a small business like ours, and freeing us from that enables us to continue our focus on our extensive service delivery online, through equipment rentals, and by coaching, coaching, coaching. Never more has it been apparent that our relationships with you all (and yours with each other) are the main drivers of what we do. We continue to be driven along that path, now with more excitement and commitment than ever.
To our OG San Rafael members, THANK YOU! Thank you for enriching our lives, trusting us with your fitness and community needs, and being a part of our family. We look forward to outdoor classes, seeing you in our Corte Madera and Mill Valley locations, and, one day, welcoming you to a new space in San Rafael/San Anselmo, when the time (and the place) is right!
As far as our re-opening next steps, we’ve got some great news below about getting started with outdoor operations! We’ll be ready to go with personal training and small groups (up to 4) this Wednesday and will add outdoor full group classes as early as this weekend but for sure by next week! It will be great to see people live an in person for some fresh air, workouts, and community! We can’t wait!
All of our online offerings, including Zoom classes, will continue, as well. Please let us know if there’s any way we can help you get moving but are not already offering it!
Stay well, and see you soon!
Onward!
Allison and TJ
