Michele's Weekly Club News and THANK YOU - July 3, 2013

HELLLOO to the most amazing group of members in the Farmington Valley!

****I'd like to start off this week's club email with a GIANT THANK YOU to all of you for the incredible amount of support for me both leading up to my Pro Figure show at the Fitness Universe competition in Miami (400 athletes from around the world) and on the show day itself.  I placed in the top five (4th place) this weekend and will be sharing pictures when they are available so be sure to "like' our Facebook page.  Below are two videos showing just how much support there is at Snap Fitness in Avon. 

The first is the GOOD LUCK VIDEO created by Jessica Bergen compiling a bunch of well wishes from many of the membership.  You can watch it here:

The second is another video created by Jessica and Katey at the club "viewing party" that went on while everyone watched me live on stage in Miami

I'm eternally grateful for all the support and I can truly say when anyone asks, "What makes Snap Fitness different?"  I'm going to say --- EVERYTHING.  There will never be another gym like it.  It's the staff and the members that are unlike any other. 

Now for a few club announcements:

1. In observance of the 4th of July holiday, there will be NO STAFFED HOURS either Thursday or Friday this week.  Regular staffed hours will resume 9-1pm on Saturday. As always, members have access to the club with their keycards EVERY DAY from 5AM – Midnight, so you can still get your workouts in while we are away!

2. Please bring a change of shoes....all the rain and the mud is hard to keep out of the club otherwise.  And please be sure to rack the weights as well.  Snap isn't just my club; it's YOURS too so let's all do our part to keep it CLEAN.

3. Jessica wrote an incredible blog post about reframing your thoughts that I wanted to share with all of you. You can check it out here:

4. Brian's Challenge is coming into the final few weeks.  Team 4 is still in the lead! Way to go guys!!

5. Boot Camp Class is still ON for Friday at 6 AM, so you don’t have to feel guilty about eating that hot dog! J

All for now --- ENJOY YOUR 4TH and be safe out there!  Don't forget to come in and sweat out some of that BBQ this weekend!!

Sincerely,

New Ownership at Snap Fitness

Snap Fitness New Ownership

I am writing today to let you know that Snap Fitness Avon is now under the ownership of Michele Welcome.  Michele is a great friend and has been a continuous member of Snap Fitness since we opened over two years ago.  She is an extremely dedicated person that excels in everything she does and is a perfect fit to take our club and our members to new heights.  She brings an amazing passion for health and wellness and has many great things planned for your club.  All of the familiar faces will still be around including Jessica, Brian, and Tynan.  You can also expect to see me in and around the club as I help Michele with the transition.  

Words cannot begin to express how much I have truly enjoyed starting Snap and being welcomed into this great community.  I have come to know many of you personally and have enjoyed sharing stories about my family and hearing about yours.  I am forever grateful for your past and continued support and look forward to seeing you in the gym when I am working out!  If you have any questions or just want to stay in touch please feel free to email me at josh.e.livingston@gmail.com or call me at (860)655-6089.

GOOD LUCK MICHELE!!!

Our resident Figure Professional, Michele Welcome is competing this weekend in the 2012 WBFF (World Body Building & Fitness Federation) World Championships in Toronto, Canada!  She has been documenting her progress weekly since I can remember (though it feels like just yesterday!), and to send her off to compete, we have put together a nice little video to let her know that we are pulling for her!

Check out the clip for yourself, and be sure to tune in on Saturday, August 25th live via pay-per-view (online) to watch her shine!

Michele is planning to take over the #1 spot by beating last year's #1 (Michele was the 2011 runner-up, and it left a bit of a bitter taste in her mouth).  She has been "killing it with drive", and even created her own motto, "Eat Lean, Train Clean" to keep herself motivated.  The tank-top she is wearing in the photo below is available for purchase if you would like to support her cause and let her know how much she has inspired you!

We are all amazed at how much her hard work has paid off, and how much one can accomplish with a little hard-work, dedication, and drive!  Michele is proof that YOU can accomplish ANYTHING you put your mind to!
