They dont have a number listed or person to contact for northern cali. However, you can call (719)866-4506, its the national office of the usa/abf. They will direct you as to where to go to find what your looking for.......Rockin'

Start working on your cardio even before you have a chance to start at the gym. Distance runs and wind sprints but with rest days between them. There is nothing more frustrating than being dead tired and getting your as* whooped.
