Our Story
We Run Big D… A Modern Way that meshes fitness, community, and social media.. AND it’s FREE. We call ourselves a tribe and no it’s not just local. There are other cities where free fitness tribes are located throughout the world (that’s another bio story:D). So, here’s WRBD is in a nutshell.. Everyone and we mean Everyone is Welcome! Age, Race, Gender, Size, Young, Old, Your Pet all are welcome! What’s not welcome “not nice people” We “just show up” Regardless of weather conditions, work/school (ok, we might have to leave a few minutes early to get to obligations on time). Every Wednesday at 615am at the AT&T Performing Arts Center (Mondays/Fridays are works in progress). Why so early? Why not start the day sweating with friends and strangers while the sun rises. No one has anyone walked away saying I should’ve slept in! We are accountable to each other.. If you’re going to be there all you have to do is #verbal on our social media page. If you don’t show we will ask why and let you know we missed you We Encourage, Support and We mean it! From the moment you “just show up” We give you a sweaty hug. Yes, it’s Dallas and stepping outside everyone sweats; but, not everyone hugs. It’s a bit uncomfortable at first! When working out we are cheering each other. How many times have you ever just needed a hug or how about when you’re working out, going for a run alone and just want to hear “good job” “keep going” “you’ve got this”.. At WRBD it happens always and we ooze genuine happiness cheering for you to meet goals. We Start with a Bounce not a Warm Up! We bounce and get real close (look at our page if you’re not sure what a bounce is) and we shout out Good Morning! Then, We Work Hard, We Sweat, We have Music, and We laugh! Yep, for 35 minutes (give or take a few minutes) the workouts are tough from burpees, stairs, hoistees, run (yes, run *sometimes walk, which is more than ok! *Insert "You’ve Got this" and endless “High Fives” We take photos (so smile) sharing your hard work for all to be inspired and challenged to be their best. Injured?? No Problem, still show up you can do an injury deck, be the photographer, and/or cheer. Again, showing up is inspiration! At the very end we take a few group photos so all can see how awesome hard work and sweat makes one look really cool, lol!! We also have some very HIP “Gear”. You bring the shirt we bring the Tag. Some days we show up with spray paint and tag your shirt. Only ask the shirt have no other swag or tag. Really? Ya, gotta see it~ Finally, We Love our Community! We’re not just talking about our little tribe or global tribes. We talking our Neighbors, Our Streets, Our City, Our Country, Our World. Many of our tribe members run races raising support for local causes, some donate blood, we have cheer squads when others are racing, and we even help in other ways like see a piece of litter we pick it up and toss it in the trash (“Don’t mess with Texas, Ya’ll” ) How much does WRBD cost?? wait for it, wait for it, ready?? IT’S FREE! Breathe, it’s true! Don’t believe us.. Just Show Up any Wednesday! |
