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!

"Michele Approved" Menu ON TV!!

The other day myself and the owner of La Trattoria, Mark Bettera, were featured on the Better Connecticut TV show! Our fit, healthy menu has been such a huge success at the restaurant and now the momentum (of people talking about it) is really starting to kick in. Hosts Scot Haney and Kara Sundlun interviewed us, while Mark cooked, during a FIVE MINUTE segment on their popular afternoon show. You can watch the segment by clicking HERE.

The menu has been successful because people can now dine out with healthy options made EASY (attached is a copy). No more worrying about ingredients, substitutions, etc.; the menu is gluten free and everything is made from scratch with only fresh ingredients. It was an incredible experience to be able to share our fit healthy menu on the show and Scot Haney and Kara Sundlun were a lot of fun. I got a kick out of watching Scot chomp away on our food throughout the segment. In fact by the time it came to shoot promo clips there were no side dishes left!

Keep a look out for my latest menu at The Meat House in Avon which launches Saturday May 11th. The special lunch menu features health wraps and salads. No where can you get fresher lean meats for lunch than The Meat House so I'm really excited to "feed" everyone healthy and nutritious lunches in addition to the seafood lunches at Deepwater Seafood in Avon and my special breakfast menu items at The Village Cafe & Bistro in Canton.

Be sure to check out all the latest happenings at the club on our Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/snapfitnessavonct. We just launched our Brian's Rough n Tough Snap Fitness Challenge and I can't wait to update you on all the happens in next week's blog post.

Weekly Club Updates From Michele - May 8th, 2013

Hello Snap Avon!

We've now passed the May mark and it's a perfect time to freshen up the workout routine. There is a lot of buzz in the club about Katey's extra attention to member needs and coming up with specialized programs to address specific goals (any golfers out there? Special programs just for golfers!). So if you are bored to tears with the gym, contact the club to schedule a FREE assessment with Katey -- and let her create a custom plan!

Now for this week's announcements:

1. Brian's Challenge officially kicked off last Wednesday and it's been exciting to watch the teams cheer for each other! I was so impressed with Arlene whipping those ropes on Sunday --- crazy! Annnnnnnnnnnd she is 59 years old so don't think you can't be a rock star at any age. Woot Woot! Attached are some pictures! AND CHECK OUT THIS VIDEO FROM THE WEEK! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqUjH9qoALw

2. Did you catch Mark from La Trattoria and myself on the Better Connecticut tv show this week? We had a great time with Scot and Kara talking about our dinner menu. You can watch the segment here:

3.. REMINDER that Katey's Wednesday yoga class is at 5pm. I encourage you to give her class a try - everyone so far loves the changes she made to the format of the class. Many are also booking private sessions with her as well.

4. Struggling with your nutrition? Reach out to me -- I'm creating custom nutrition plans. Hiren Patel is down 10lbs in 6 weeks, Karen Patane has lost an inch in her waist in 6 weeks at 58 years old), and the list goes on. I'm less than 8 weeks out from the Pro Figure stage in Miami.....ONLY nutrition is getting me there. Training is the same as I do all year round. So I have a lot of experience with this and would love to help YOU. I've created a private support group on Facebook as well so if you would like to be included please contact me.

5. Speaking of nutrition and making it EASY for you, The Meat House lunch menu launches Saturday May 11th! Attached is a copy of the menu. YUM!

6. Thanks everyone for being so great about racking the weights and bringing a change of shoes. Please remember to do so especially on rainy days so we can keep the mud out of the club. THANK YOU!!

All for now -- let's ROCK THE WEEK!
