How to Join April Project
Down the rabbit hole:
1. Time and Tattoo Commitment
Understand that time is not a direction; it's a dimension.
All potential members are expected to get "APRIL PROJECT" or "HUG LIFE" tattooed across their stomach to prove their commitment to the tribe. It does not guarantee entry but we do offer complimentary removal of the tattoo by an iron.
2. Attendance Commitment
You have to be at every single workout. As members, we plan our lives, vacations, and EVERYTHING WE DO around April Project.

2. Attendance Commitment
You have to be at every single workout. As members, we plan our lives, vacations, and EVERYTHING WE DO around April Project.
This is not for you if you:
- Are associated with late night hours or unpredictable schedules that could keep you in bed in the morning hours.
- Are not comfortable in matching neon gear, short shorts, and yellow caps.
- Are not comfortable with public speaking, or performing an interpretive dance to Careless Whisper.
- Have a job that requires a lot of travel that could take you away from the tribe.
- Are not willing to pull unusual flash-mob type stunts and be, as we say at April Project, “respectively disruptive,” from time to time.
- Think that Lil Wayne is the best rapper alive.
- Being one of the fittest members of the human race is a must. Who do we consider fit? A person that can do one or all of the following: Sub 2:25 Marathon or sub 1:00 Half-marathon; 10 minutes plank finishing with 100 pushups; 200+ burpees in 7 minutes, eat 100 McNuggets in 30 minutes. OR if you're faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, you're in.
- Outgoing personality: You may talk to a rapper an actor a gun clapper, a comedian providing laughter as a bachelor, a pastor of a chapter, a doctor, a lawyer, a fireman, a hired hand about AP in a single afternoon – Word of mouth recruiting is HUGE. Honestly, how are you at interacting with complete strangers?
- Sense of Humor: Our workouts and April fools pranks are intense yet fun and funny.
- Local: Know the best ice cream shops like the back of your hands and the tops of your feet.
- Creative: AP workouts have a standard that members can shoot for but often have to be adjusted due to unpredictable nature of outdoor training in urban environment. Having a background in coaching and kung-fu fighting is a huge help.
- Must be a hugger, not a shaker. Hug someone new not only on Wednesdays but all day every day.
- Really good at pretending to be a morning person.
3. Our #WeatherProof Concept
Just kidding. You don't gotta be weatherproof because our city is.
4. Why 6:30AM?
April Project ALWAYS trains in the morning on weekdays. Weekends and afternoons are reserved for the get down get down. It’s that simple.
5. Member Description
How to Apply?
Send us a 5000 word email of who you are, what you do, and why you want this (please include a photo of your tattoo). Then condense all that into 140 letters, tweet it to @Apr_Project, and post the same photo on the April Project Facebook wall.
Decision
After indefinite Wednesdays if we think that you are worthy of proudly displaying #HugLife on your chest, you’re in. We’ll mail you the “A9R1L PR0J3CT” stencils and a few rounds of Krylon, black flat paint, backstage passes to Drake shows, access to the weekly blog, our social media stream and all of the further worldwide attention that will come in our bright future.
You’ll hug strangers, make babies, and take photos (If you must try all three at the same time, good luck). You’ll lead workouts that will be better than many people’s orgasms. You’ll watch people get faster, fall in love with yourself, and create real connections. Please don’t step up unless you are ready to YOLO.
