WEEKLY CLUB NEWS FROM MICHELE

Hellllooo Snap Avon!  

Did you know it's National Health and Fitness month?  The goal is to spread the word about the importance of getting regular physical activity.  Physical activity doesn't need to be BORING.  How about coming in and -- for example -- you plan to do 30 minutes of cardio.  Start on the elliptical for 10 minutes, hop off and head over to the bike for 10 minutes, hop off and finish your last 10 minutes on the treadmill and walk on an incline.  For those a little more advanced, how about -- for example -- alternate 1 minute on the bike, hop off and do 30 seconds of rapid squats (get low!), peddle lightly on the bike for 30 seconds before repeating entire sequence for allotted time.  Give these ideas a try this month and let me know how things goes!  

Now for this week's updates:  

1.  Have you noticed the club's new "mascot" yet?  (see picture attached) My very own brother gifted the club a wooden bear that he carved with a chainsaw and it now sits by the front door to "Welcome" you when you walk into the club (nice pun on my name!).  Let's name him!  I am running a Name The Club Mascot contest so submit your names by next Friday to the front desk or on our Facebook page http:www.facebook.com/SnapFitnessAvonCT for your chance to win a prize!  

2. It's Week TWO into Brian's Rough n Tough Snap Fitness Challenge! The teams are working hard and I love watching them cheer for each other! Attached is a picture of club member (and total rock star) Ryan Colgan this morning out "at the field" for this week's surprise challenge.  Check out this past week's video compilation of all the excitement! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8SDACJKh20

3.  Any Snappers interested in some homemade Grade A Dark Amber maple syrup from Upstate New York and Vermont? Jess' parents made some this Spring and have some extras kicking around- $10 pint, $16 quart.  You can email Jessica at avonct@snapfitness.com if you're interested!  

4.  Don't forget our referral contest going on! Let's spread the word in our community how great the club is and transform some new people into rock stars! Refer someone to join and you will earn a FREE MONTH.  Refer 3 people for just a trial and you will be entered into a drawing for a free iPod!  
5.  Have you tried the new Michele Approved/Snap Fitness lunch menu at The Meat House yet?  I'd love to see you in action -- send us a pic of you enjoying your lunch!  You can even call ahead so that you can just tuck and roll into the place, grab your lunch, and GO!   6. As always, my final reminder to always rack your weights, clean the equipment after use, and change your shoes. 

Team effort for the win!
  ROCK YOUR WEEK EVERYONE!
