Get your Pumpkin Spice Protein Lattes ready and join us in our Halloween excitement! October is a fantastic time for fun, fitness, and community, and we're thrilled to celebrate the spirit of the season with you. Our gym is transforming into a spooky playground with activities, contests, and fantastic prizes. So grab your costumes and get ready for a month full of exciting events!

Spooky Decorations & Photo Fun

We've transformed PNW Fitness into a Halloween wonderland! Throughout the month, you'll find:

• Special photo backdrop - Perfect for capturing your spooky season moments

• Spooky mood setters - We've scattered festive decorations  around the gym to get you in the Halloween spirit

• Meet Bill and Ted - Our resident ghosts! Keep your eyes peeled and say hi as they make their rounds throughout the gym

• Community Spider Web - We loved the Polaroids during Pride, so we're bringing them back! Grab a Polaroid at the front desk, snap a photo at our backdrop, and pin it to our large community spider web. Let's fill it up with PNW memories!

Costume Contest - Win a Month Free!

Special Event Classes

New this month, we will also be hosting a few one-time events! Here are the details...

Halloween Choreography Class - Tuesday, October 28th at 5:30 PM | 60 Minutes

Calling all Wednesday Addams fans! Get ready to learn THE dance with our amazing instructor Anam. You know the one; that iconic dance scene set to the viral Bloody Mary remix. Whether you're a dance pro or have two left feet, Anam will break down the moves so everyone can nail this hauntingly cool routine.

Perfect for adding some dark, moody swagger to your workout routine, and you'll have the perfect party trick for all your Halloween gatherings!

Buti Glow Class - Tuesday, October 29th at 7:00 PM | 60 Minutes

Join our incredible instructor Bex for a one-time-only Buti Glow experience! This high-energy workout fuses power moves, tribal dance, and plyometrics to sculpt your body, burn calories, and foster self-empowerment, all in a dark room lit by blacklights.

Come dressed in neon clothing and blacklight body paint to fully immerse yourself in the electrifying atmosphere. We'll have temporary tattoos available for anyone who wants to add to their glow! This is going to be unforgettable!

Space for both classes is limited - attendance is first come, first served!
