Happy July! If you grew up in Seattle, you know the running joke that summer doesn't start in Seattle until the 5th of July. Well, this year seems like summer started in May According to the Old Farmers Almanac, in the Northern Hemisphere (hint: where we are), the June/summer solstice occurs when the sun travels along its northernmost path in the sky. This marks the astronomical start of summer. Whereas, the Southern Hemisphere (think Australia, New Zealand), it’s the opposite: the June solstice marks the astronomical start of winter when the sun is at its lowest point in the sky. We receive the most daylight on the solstice (this year Wednesday, June 21, 2023, at 7:58 A.M. PST) because we receive sunlight at the most direct angle of the year. Science...it's pretty rad

Summer was always a magical time for me as a kid because we were outside for most of the days. In the kiddie pool, sprinkler, slip 'n' slide, you name it! (hot tip: slip 'n' slides are even more fun as an adult -- trust me). From sun up to sun down, we soaked in every moment of not being in school Whatever your plans are for July and the rest of summer, we hope it includes spending time with us at FH! The sun is up early so those 6am classes aren'tas bad to attend

Meet July's Epic Member of the month:

Kat Reuter!!!

Cue the badass metal music... Kat has been a member at FUELhouse since April of 2016. For those that don’t do math, that was SEVEN YEARS this year! She is a light and a force of energy we love to have in our space. She always finds a way to move even when she might be working through an injury. Not only is she extremely coachable, she is FUELhouse’s biggest cheerleader! We are forever in her debt for how much she tells others about us Check out what some of the coaches had to say about her (more on our blog)….

“Kat is such a wonderful part of FH! She is so kind to all around her while being absolutely kickass during classes! Shoutout to the queen of metal!” - Coach Abbey
“Kat is one of the hardest workers in class. I love how coachable she is and always a good sport with my music choices! Stay Metal, Kat!” - Coach Dre
“Always a supporter of everything we do and never has a negative comment. Also, she basically runs our social media because she can respond faster and solve any question before any of us can!” - Coach Kari
“Kat is gem of a human — as kind & thoughtful as they come. Will also fight to the death for what she believes in! She’s always embracing the process & showing that she’s a true student of the game when it comes to health & wellness. Also, great taste in music — Stay Metal!” - Coach Brian

Check out our BLOG to learn more about this stupendous human Kat!
