Congratutions to our winners of the Amazing Race....You'll have to go to the gym to find out who won!!! Hope you all had a Merry Christmas!!

Holiday hours/amazing race

Everyone did so good on the Amazing Race. I know that it was a contest, but you all won. We've had more people exercising during the holidays this year than any other. I hope that you all feel "Amazing"!!! You worked out, helped two needy families in our area, provided band-aids for St. Jude, did something awesome for your partner, learned some nutrition facts, received a Get Fit session and learned a few new routines to prevent you from getting bored...all in 7 weeks. We will announce the winners this week!!!! It may help out your team to come and work out 3 of the 5 days that we are open this week. Our schedule is as followed. Wednesday, New Years Eve, 5:00 am - 1:00. Get Fit as usual, and fitness fusion is from 9:15-10:30 with Amanda. Closed Christmas Day, Open Friday and Saturday from 8:00-1:00 with no classes or Get Fit on Friday and fitness fusion on Saturday from 9:00-10:15 with Cinda. Everyone have a safe christmas. Remember the reason!!! You all are AWESOME!!!!

The last week!!!

Well, it's our last week for the Amazing Race. Everyone has done a great job. I think that we will have provided a nice christmas for two families in our area. This week's job is to burn 2300 calories between the two of you, one Yoga or pilates class (see group schedule for times) and then each team will have either an exercise task or a nutrition question around the gym. You will also have to buy 7-11 different types of fruits and vegetables and bring us a copy of your receipt. (this is a team effort!!) It will be up to you to eat them all during the week. An additional task is to do something "Amazing" for your partner who put up with you for the last 6 weeks. It doesn't have to be much....a card, candle, car, slap on the backside....whatever strikes your fancy. Everyone gets credit for working out on Thursday...the snowday. You can burn some serious calories keeping your body warm, building snowwomen and having snow ball fights. I know that we were all out burning, right?? Check back next week to see who are final "Amazing" race winners are. Team 19 is this weeks prize winner. You will have a little something at the desk on Tuesday. Stop by and pick it up. Keep up the great work ladies.

Saturday hours!!

We apologize for the inconvenience, but we are closed on Saturday 12/13 for the christmas parade. The floats line up in our parking lot and then return here after. We'll see you bright and early Monday morning though.

Nearing the End-Amazing Race

It's our second to last week and everyone is doing great. This week will be a little tougher, but it's now that people tend to fall off with the rush of holiday shopping. We have a number of things we need to get done. First, there is a pink card at the front desk for each of you. You have until the end of the week to complete it. (trust me, we'll take your word that you completed this one!!) This job will only make you even more "Amazing". Each team will also have a task envelope somewhere in the gym. If you get the exercise envelope, then only one of you will have to complete the task. The nutrition question is a team effort. Every team will also have to complete 2200 calories burned per team and you have to spread it out over 3 different workout days at the minimum. You will also have to fit in another group class. I will post your tasks on the board at the fitness center since it's a little more this time. Don't forget about your assignment from last week. We need all gifts by Friday evening. Keep in mind that we are closed on Saturday for the Christmas parade, so you will only have 5 days to complete your work. Yall are really doing awesome. I think we have more retention this time than any other program that we've done. SUPER!!!!!
Also, team 5 is our "amazing" winner. We have a special little something for you at the desk!!!
One last thing....I know many of you haven't finished some of your tasks and feel like you are out of the competition. Some of my wonderful staff suggested that if you would like to make up a task, then you can bring some beads for them to throw at the parade. You bring them in and then we'll throw them back to you on Saturday. Who could pass up that deal, uh!!!
Work hard. We are avoiding that national statistic that Americans average a 7-10 pound weight gain during the holidays.
