Surprise, everybody, what is going on, happy Saturday to you.

Welcome to a very special bonus episode of Ever Forward Radio.

This is going to be a very special, like I said, bonus episode because not only are you getting a special

bonus episode, you're getting a special interview.

This is an entirely different experience that we have yet to have on the show and that is highlighting something

that is so important I think in our culture whether it's fitness or just the human

culture here in DC, all walks of life are very, very common.

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, straight, left wing, right wing, all the above.

We've got everybody that you could possibly imagine.

And one of the most beautiful things that I think is these people, these groups, these environments that make it safe for everybody to be a better person, particularly through fitness, but also like we're going to talk about here with Devon,

one of the owners over at Balance Gym, is these safe environments for people of

these different walks of life.

Whether you are interested in people of the same sex, opposite sex,

political views, they have created such a phenomenal culture, a subculture of

safety, of being open, of being

welcoming to anyone and everyone who just wants to come together

and lift some damn weights or take a spin class or do cross fit

or do poll dancing or whatever it is that Balance has to offer, it is an area that is so beautiful

because everybody can just come there, forget who they are, sexual orientation,

political orientation, whatever, and you can get the work done.

So I'm very proud to share this special episode with Devon Mayor from Balance Jim and

congratulations and you know happy DC Pride Week to everybody out there
