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!!

Club News From Michele April 23, 2013



Good Morning Snap Avon!

It's already the end of April so my question is, "Are you still striving to reach those New Year's fitness resolutions?"  If not, I say...let us help you!  We are committed and want to see you reach your goals.  Small, consistent changes are the magic...not endless hours here at the gym (although we love to see you!).  If you are struggling, please reply to this email and let us know how we can help.

Now for club news:

1. Look out for an email tomorrow from Brian announcing all the teams and prizes for his Snap Fitness Rough n Tough Challenge, which begins May 1st.  The community response has been really great and we are grateful for every donation we have received.

2.  Have you heard of Jesse's Journey yet?  My husband Jesse is a regular guy who does NOT like to exercise.  We couldn't be more opposite.  Jesse has decided to embark on a fitness journey utilizing all of Snap's resources including the assessment, expert personal training staff, 5am-12am club access, isagenix, and eating out at restaurants that are Snap & Michele Approved.  He had been candidly documenting his journey so far on his new Facebook page so I encourage you to follow and show him some support!  Click here to get to his page:  http://www.facebook.com/jessesjourney2013

3.  *NEW* Michele Approved LUNCH menu launches tomorrow at The Meat House of Avon!  Head on over for a healthy protein packed lunch with menu options ranging from salads to delicious wraps.  This is the perfect compliment to our seafood lunch menu at Deepwater Seafood.  I'd love to hear you feedback when you visit!  Pictures encouraged!

4. Katey's Wednesday night yoga class is really great...but poorly attended. I'm doing a poll -- please email me if you are interested in yoga and would attend if I changed the time to 5pm instead of 7pm on Wednesdays.  Your feedback is appreciated.

5. You will notice the change in the method of cleaning the machines is now a spray bottle of disinfectant rather than wipes.  The wipes were really dry and not as sanitary in my opinion so please look out for the spray bottles always wipe the machines down when finished to prevent the spread of germs.  Please be sure to spray on cloth and not directly on the equipment.

6.  I would like to increase the membership at the gym and I appreciate all referrals -- so for each new member you refer to us, you will receive one free month.  If you refer three friends for 14 day trials, you will be entered into a drawing for a free iPod on August 31st. 

7. Thank you to everyone for helping us keep the club clean by bringing a change of shoes and racking your weights!

All for now -- ROCK YOUR WEEK -- and remember....I'm always listening and looking for way to improve the club.

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.

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!
