Our 2016 Year in Review

Ah, the turn of a new year: A chance to relive the bright moments from the past 365 days, and--for some--a resolution to reverse all the damage you did to your body during Thanksgiving and Christmas. We're pretty proud of our 2016, so we'll stick to reviewing the successes and leave the gym membership to someone else.
