Hey everyone!
Now that the sun is out, it's time to get outside and take advantage of the Menlo Park Labs sports courts. Enjoy a tennis match with a colleague or some beach volleyball during lunch, or even just shoot some solo hoops. Volleyballs and basketballs are available to check out at the front desk.
Speaking of the front desk... please welcome to our newest team member, Elijah! Elijah will be greeting you at the front desk in the afternoons and can help you with any of your gym needs.
Please also note that Ignite BioFitness will be closed on Monday, May 29th for Memorial Day.
