The Body Calibre boys will be in the Urban Garden between 10 and 2 to offer their knowledge and support on health and fitness.
 
Regardless of age, gender, weight, or fitness level, body composition analysis can support anyone looking to get an accurate and nonjudgmental baseline for monitoring their health. It can also be used as a powerful tool to integrate into training and nutrition plans.

Lunch and Learn takes place monthly on the blue sofas in the coworking space. Each month, a different theme drives the conversation.
