Your humpday mornings just got a little tougher. After that the rest of the week is a cakewalk. Join this exciting bootcamp-style class meant to make you work hard in order to improve your conditioning, gain foundational strength and power, and burn calories like nobody's business. Group fitness classes improve your performance and give you the feedback and energy to be your best.
Pre-pay $8/session for 8 weeks ($64) or $12 for drop-in classes. Try out the class for $5, which will be applied to your final cost if you decide to continue.
We start at the Mill City Ruins and will find fun and exciting routes and urban and natural "gym" equipment to push your body where you didn't think it could go. This class will challenge you physically and mentally but you will always control your comfort zone and how you choose to work. It is not meant as an introduction to exercise and it is not for the faint of heart. However, all exercises have their modifications and you are encouraged to find your limitations and train in accordance.
Be sure to have a light snack or meal 30 minutes prior to class and bring something to eat or drink post class to stimulate metabolic recovery and prevent post-exercise low blood sugar crashes. Water and sweat towels will be provided but you are encouraged to bring a towel and/or yoga mat.
To RSVP for class, Email Jeremy at jeremy@rom-wellness.com, or call 612.205.7644.
*If you are new to exercise this will challenge you. If you have any pre-existing medical conditions, chronic pain, or acute injuries please consult your physician prior to beginning a new exercise routine. During these workouts you may encounter contraindicated movements for your specific condition and should be able to decide when you should sit the exercise out or talk to me about specific modifications.

To come to my house, to call for what he likes, to turn me out of my own chair, to insult the family, to order his servants to get drunk, and then to tell me, “This house is mine, sir”. By all that’s impudent it makes me laugh.
Hardcastle, a man of substance, looks forward to acquainting his daughter with his old pal’s son with a view to marriage. But thanks to playboy Lumpkin, he’s mistaken by his prospective son-in-law Marlow for an innkeeper, his daughter for the local barmaid. The good news is, while Marlow can barely speak to a woman of quality he’s a charmer with those of a different stamp. And so, as Hardcastle’s indignation intensifies, Miss Hardcastle’s appreciation for her misguided suitor soars. Misdemeanours multiply, love blossoms, mayhem ensues.
This little barmaid though runs in my head most strangely, and drives out the absurdities of all therest of the family. She’s mine, she must be mine, or I’m greatly mistaken.

Take an in-depth look at the historic Washburn A Mill complex and the award-winning Mill City Museum building on this guided tour. A museum interpreter will take visitors into the building’s many nooks and crannies, highlighting the lives of the men and women who worked there, how the building functioned during its peak flour milling years and the many changes to the building over time. Also covered will be how the mill ruin was converted to a museum and office building.
Although many parts of the A mill can be explored on a self-guided basis during a regular museum visit, this is the only opportunity for a guided tour through the entire museum building, and the only chance to see some of its non-public spaces. The tour includes admission to the museum gallery as well as the Flour Tower show.

Before we begin, we will have a short presentation covering basic principles of low light/night photography. When darkness sets in, this area comes alive with interesting lights. We will help you capture stunning night images you are sure to want to frame.
This safari is best done with a digital SLR or a better quality digital point and shoot with advanced scene modes. Your Safari guide / photographer will be carrying a Sony digital point and shoot to demonstrate the techniques we will be covering. For this safari, a sturdy tripod an absolute necessity... Midwest Photo Safari can provide pro-quality rental tripods on request. A remote shutter release is also very handy to have along, or you may use the "self timer" feature of your camera.
