MOCKSVILLE GYM 365:
We have lots of new faces in the gym since the turn of the New Year and just wanted to say “Welcome” to GYM 365 and to let you know that if you need anything at all, please don’t hesitate to call on us.
Depending on how you look at it, we have good news and we have bad news. The bad news is one of the Treadclimbers went kaput. The good news is Nautilus replaced it with a brand new StepMill. It’s like a revolving down escalator that you continuously climb up. Talk about an outrageous cardio boost, this thing will get your heart rate up quick! As always, we have some friendly competition going on between the members and it involves the StepMill. As of now, members Anita Wright and Danny Testa are in a battle to climb the most floors. At last count, Anita had climbed 206 floors in about 30 minutes and Danny had 202 floors in the same amount of time. Do you realize how tough that is? It is equivalent to climbing just over 4 miles of steps. 4 MILES! Give this new piece of equipment a try and judge it for yourself. You may be the next person I write about.
Our new class, “Walk Away the Pounds” has been a success. It is a low impact cardio class that anyone can do. The one hour class combines cardio with weights at the half way point to tone as you go. Join us for this 3 mile “walk” every Wednesday. There is a 4:30 pm class and another at 5:30 pm. No cost to you, so what are you waiting for?
Congrats to our “Free Month” winners. In January we challenged our members to weigh in on one of the first 3 days of the month. If they lost 10 pounds before the 31st, they won the month of February for free. We had four winners, Eric Bridges, Jason Magallanes, Billy Mundy and Brian Murphy. Way to go, guys! February is a short month so we’ll skip it and try it again for March. Good Luck!
Here lately we’ve had a lot of late payments. I mean, LATE. Like mid-month late and hands are getting cut off left and right. (Eww!) In an effort to get members to pay early for the upcoming month, we are offering another chance to win a free month of membership. If you pay by the 25th, you are entered in a drawing to win the following month free. You then get your money BACK. Bank Drafted members are automatically entered to win. Last month Cheryl Michelli was the lucky winner and got her money back for February. And if I’m not mistaken, she used her money to enroll her son in our Karate class on Tuesday nights! Thanks, Cheryl!
A big thanks to Lois Felts, Billy Mundy and Conner Jewell for letting us feature them in our newspaper ads. If you have an incredible story of your own, please let us know.
Member Garrett Parks recently competed in his first ever Tuff Man contest in Mooresville, NC. He did the gym proud under the direction of BJ Campbell. Unfortunately, the crowd’s decision was overruled by the judge’s decision and Garrett lost. Lots of ‘Boos’ were heard and ‘thumbs down’ signs were seen throughout the building when the winner was announced. Garrett took it all in stride though and he’s back to training again, so better luck next time.
Guys, remember to re rack your weights in the weight room. As long as you keep forgetting, I’ll keep reminding and I wasn’t kidding about the tar-n-feathers or the honey-n-anthill method to help you remember. Thanks.
Until next time, stay healthy!
