UFC FIT, located in Point Loma, is offering a way for dads to stay fit and feel good about indulging with a complimentary personal training session or recovery treatment. Personal trainers will review unique goals and then coach fathers through a one-on-one workout. Dads may choose to utilize a recovery service, including compression massage therapy, cryotherapy or percussion massage therapy. Both members and nonmembers may redeem the offer from 8AM to 1PM on Saturday, June 18 and Sunday, June 19.
Want to have a laugh this Father’s Day? Take dad to San Diego’s newest comedy club, Mic Drop Comedy, where he can see firsthand how the professionals do it – no more dad jokes. Popular comedian, Craig Shoemaker, will be performing at Mic Drop on Friday, June 17th at 7PM and on Saturday, June 18th at 7PM and 9:30PM and on Father’s Day, Taylor Williamson will be performing at 7PM.
If those shows don’t fit into your schedule, buy dad tickets to a future show or a gift card and let him choose. Mic Drop has no food or drink minimums, but since this is a celebration of dad, an order of the Bacon Me Crazy Platter is a must – it’s made with Beef Bacon, Gochujang Glazed Bacon, Candied Bacon, Chocolate-Dipped Bacon and Bacon Vinaigrette Salad. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased here.
