Thanks to Owen for passing on the sad news:
“Devastated to see a “for rent” sign in what used to be Sweetpea’s Soul Food on Georgia Ave. Their sign has also been removed from the establishment. Do you know anything more? Last I communicated with them on Instagram a few months ago, they indicated just being temporarily closed.”

“The weather is changing and it’s time you do too,” said Gerard “Coach G” Burley, owner of the party-inspired, high-intensity group personal training program known as SWEAT DC.
Coach G warns that the weather may change faster than you do, and you may not have the right plan to get you confident and beach ready. So he’s devised a rapid transformation program called “The Memorial Day Sprint Challenge,” a six-week, 24-session, comprehensive plan designed to maximize your effort in the shortest amount of time. Safely, of course, and fun, as always.
The Memorial Day Sprint Challenge includes a pre-assessment session to determine where you are now and where you want to be in six weeks; before and after photos; a calorie-intake appraisal and a customized meal plan; an accountability partner to keep you on your path; off-day workouts; and prizes for those who meet their goals.
SWEAT DC, Washington’s judgement-free, inclusive and challenging group-personal fitness gym, is honoring Women’s History Month by offering a female-only, four-week, transformative strength-training program during the month of March.
The program is called BYOB — Be Your Own Bodygoals — and will defy commonly accepted generalities about women and strength training: BYOB will emphasize female-focused functional weight lifting to “unleash your power from within,” said Lead Coach and former track athlete Nazinga Thomas who will be leading the program.
“There will be no shame or stigma of looking too strong, manly or not knowing how to lift properly,” she added. “Whether you are a new mom, a former athlete that got out of the routine or new to weight lifting and ready to feel more confident with strength training, BYOB is for you. We will empower each other to find out how strong we really are.” Learn more about her fitness journey at @activbyzing.
The four-week, early-morning program begins March 4 and includes a fitness assessment and reassessment, photos, goals consultation, nutrition guide and personal coaching by trained and inspirational, non-judgmental coaches to teach and assure proper lifting techniques. The team-based program also includes at-home workouts and unlimited support by a SWEAT DC success coach.

Coach Will (studio manager of SWEAT DC), who is father of 2 year old, Emery and 6 year old Micaela gained almost 40 lbs while trying to adjust to the stressful life as a new dad.
Even as a fitness coach the lack of sleep, time and added stress led him to unhealthy eating habits and not working out.
Losing the body he loved led him to develop a special program that fit his schedule, used limited time and allowed him to be the super dad he wanted to be.
Dad 2 Rad is a 4 week strength training program that uses barbells, kettle bells, dumbbells, pull up bars, rowers and more to shape your body and uncover the new you. In this course you will go through an assessment, reassessment, learn what supplements to take for your goals, get nutrition counseling and take home workouts to do between sessions.
