P.A.Q.
Probably Asked Questions.
Not frequently. We haven't run enough events yet for anything to be frequent. These are the questions we figure you're about to ask, and our honest shot at answering them.
Is this a dating thing?
No. See Manifesto principle 08. If two people click over a tug of war and exchange numbers, we're not going to stop them.
Is this a cult?
Not yet.
Do I need to be athletic?
You need to be the kind of person who'd rather burn calories to meet new people than go (again) to a late, loud, expensive, drug-oriented club. Someone who picks sleeping early over closing the bar. Basic fitness, not CrossFit Games.
What if it rains?
Plan B: indoor gym, downtown-ish. We'll tell everyone by 9 AM the day of, based on the forecast.
Is there alcohol?
The event is focused on integrating people. Physical and mental challenges are designed for that. The party afterwards too. There might be alcohol around. But liquor is not the protagonist here. Le Day Club is longevity and wellness oriented.
Why $30? (And why $15 for the Demo?)
$30 is the regular price, less than three Montreal pints. Enough to filter out the people who say 'probably', not enough to make anyone stay home. The Demo Event (#0) on May 23 is half off at $15 because it's a smaller first run. If even that is the problem, tell us. Vouchers exist.
Can I bring a friend?
Ask first. Everyone is a 1st- or 2nd-degree contact of the founder, which means your 1st-degree friend counts as 2nd-degree to us. Usually a yes. Still ask.
I'm not in the founder's circle. Can I still come?
DM @ledayclub and tell us who you are. If you're the kind of person who'd fit, we'll say yes.
What should I wear?
Athletic clothes you can sweat in. Layers for outdoors. No heels, no loafers, no statement pieces that won't survive a rope burn.
Can my dog / grandma / toddler come?
Adults 18+ only. Dogs no. Grandmas theoretically yes, practically no — the pistol squats are rough.
What if I sign up and can't make it?
Tell us. Refunds before the event, no guilt-trip.
Why "Le Day Club" and not "The Day Club"?
leday.club was available. theday.club was not. Also: Montreal is bilingual. Bilingual here means EN + FR, and Le Day Club is a try-hard. Je m'en vais au gym, let's go.
What about the June 21 Summer Solstice event?
The May 23 event is the Demo (#0) because tech nerds start counting on zero. June 21 is Event #1, Summer Solstice, the official first Le Day Club on the actual longest day of the year. Same template, different details. Come to the Demo if you want the early tell.
Why is there a Portuguese version?
The founder is a good son and calls his parents often. They're curious about what he's building and their English is limited. Also, Portuguese is badass.
