Group X Bingo
2026-08-01 - 2026-08-31
August is a good month to show up for yourself, and this year we’re making it a little more fun.
All month long, Group X Bingo turns your regular class schedule into a community game. Pick up a bingo card, then fill it square by square as you try new classes, revisit old favorites, and connect with instructors and fellow members along the way.
Here’s how it works:
> Each completed bingo earns 1 entry into the prize drawing
> A full blackout earns 5 entries
> One winner takes home a VIP locker package
> Cards are available at the front desk starting August 1
> The game runs through August 31, free for all members
> Turn in your cards by 9/2, and the raffle winner will be randomly selected the first week of September.
The squares on the card are built around the Group X community. Some will nudge you toward a class you’ve never tried. Others will spotlight an instructor or bring a familiar face back into your week. August can be a quieter month at the Club, and this is a good reason to keep the habit going.
If you’ve been curious about a class you keep walking past, this is a low-pressure reason to finally step in.
Grab your card starting 8/1!
