One of our most important core values at Method3 Fitness is:
Do The Right Thing.
At Method3 we are working towards taking tangible steps to challenge racism and support our colleagues, customers and communities. Symbolic support is not enough – we will take action. Below you will find a list of resources that we are using as a springboard for our journey forward. Our hope is that this resource guide will serve as a starting point for our Method3 community so we can take this opportunity to better understand ourselves, love our neighbors, and become the change we wish to see.
