"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!

A Little Tid-Bit About the La Trattoria Menu!

 

This one of a kind menu was formed out of a special friendship between La Trattoria owner, Mark Bettera, and Snap Fitness Avon Health Club owner, Michele Welcome-Pellegatto.  Michele is a professional figure competitor, nutrition & training coach, and is very particular with the foods she eats.  For years Michele has been a customer of La Trattoria and could always count on Mark and his staff to accommodate Michele’s special requests for healthy dinners.  Michele could also count on - and look forward to having - a special post-show reward meal and a “Welcome Home” congratulatory hug after every competition.  When Michele took over ownership of Snap Fitness Avon Health Club on January 4, 2013, Michele asked Mark if he would partner with her on a health movement in The Farmington Valley. The idea is to provide healthy meal options for health conscious people that wish to dine out and have a nutritious, wholesome, and flavorful dinner without compromising their fitness goals.  Michele, Mark, and head chef Colin Giles together created this one-of-a-kind menu that is “Michele Approved.”   Selections will change and rotate seasonally as well.  Bon Appétit!
