Lori's ankle is getting much better.  She gave it a good go on the running and was able to do a fair amount.  Still can't push it too hard yet.  Lori is going to have a seriously rock hard core once her ankle heals though!!  When she's not able to do a drill she's been doing core work!  Looking good!
Anjel has made it through her first week and is kicking butt.  She has a strong will and you can see the desire to succeed in her eyes.  Keep up the hard work Anjel.  Gwen's last day with us is Wednesday of this week.  She will be taking some time off for the Summer-We will all miss you Gwen!!  We know you will continue to workout on your own.  You have that inner drive to accomplish anything you set your mind too.  You have been doing amazing and you are welcome back with us anytime.  Richie and BobII, you guys have been consistently rocking for a long time now and it really shows.  Keep up the hard work!

See you all out there tonight!!

Gift Certificates!!

Some of you have received a Gift Certificate to give to a friend, family member, etc. as a gift from you for either one week free Fit Camp or a free 1-hour Personal Training session.  If you have not received one it is only because we have not seen you.  We have one for you and will give it to you at the next workout.  I hope you all have thought of someone who might like this gift.  Kelly and I have a goal of 30 Fit Campers by August 1.  Your help would be much appreciated.  Remember, this is what Kelly and I do for a living.  We live and breathe helping you all reach your health and fitness goals.  You can rest assured that any body you bring in will get 100% of us just as you do with every workout, and be treated with the highest of professionalism.  Thank you in advance for thinking about us and for your generous support!!  You guys Rock!!

Reminder: No Monday Classes!!

Just a reminder that there are no Monday classes.  We have had to cancel Monday's for now until our roster picks up and enough people can commit to Monday's.  Tuesdays-Thursdays have been pretty good with attendance, and Friday's are now by RSVP.  You can RSVP on Wednesday's after checking the blog and seeing what and where the workout is going to be and if it is something you want to do.  RSVP by making a comment under the blog.  I will check it on Thursday and will let everyone know if we have enough participants for a class.  If we can get attendance back up we will definitely be right back to Mon-Fri at our regular times.  Your help with this would be greatly appreciated!!  Thank you all for your support!
