TJ's Gym Weekly News 03/01/2019
This is our great friend, Nick.
Nick and his wife, Jen, started as members of TJ’s back in 2010. They are two of the kindest people we’ve ever known. After a couple of years, Nick and Jen moved to the South Bay, but Nick has remained a “member” ever since, as part of our Facebook group and as a great, lifelong friend. Nick is currently fighting cancer with the help of his TJ’s strength and badassery. He sent us this photo from radiation yesterday. Nick, WE LOVE YOU and are behind you every step of the way!

Program Foundations:
•Injury prevention/Consistency
Strength training builds stronger, more resilient connective tissues (muscle, bone, tendon, ligament), allowing athletes to train harder and with more frequency, all while avoiding injury.
•Efficiency/Muscular Power
Power is a necessity for success in distance running. Our Running Strong program aims to increase runners' ability to create and access power.
•Longevity/Health
While running has significant cardiovascular benefits, it often falls short when it comes to balance and sustainability. We will address issues and ailments common to runners, with the goal of enabling athletes to enjoy running for years to come.
Coach Nick Laplant is a Marin County native who grew up running the trails of Mt. Tam. He ran competitively for Tam High and earned a scholarship to Humboldt State, where he competed in Cross Country and Track and Field. Nick has competed in a number of demanding local races, including the Dipsea, and the Mt. Tam Hill Climb, and he is thrilled to be helping others reach their running potential in the beautiful running backdrop of Marin.
