**IMPORTANT CLUB NEWS FROM MICHELE**

Hello Snap Avon!

Fall is the season of change and with that in mind there are a lot of changes going on at Snap! 

First -- we are changing the group class schedule for the fall/winter months as follows:

1. Effective immediately both Monday 6pm evening boot camp and Saturday morning 10:30am boot camp will be Cardio Bootcamp classes with an emphasis on conditioning rather than a focus on strictly weights. This class will be taught by Ben Rocher, who is going to guest instruct for the next two weeks!   Should you all love the class, and he love teaching it at Snap, we will continue with the new schedule - so your feedback is very important :)

2. Also effective immediately - and by popular demand - both Wednesday 5pm yoga class and Saturday 11:30am yoga class will BOTH now be ABS AND CORE classes.

Second..............just like with your workouts:  Even if you enjoy doing what you are doing, changing things up is important for forward progression as long as you have a strong core.  And with a power team at Snap consisting of: long time Director of Personal Training, Brian Szmigiel, Elite Personal Trainer Robert Smith, and myself, we ARE your strong core and aren't going anywhere. 

We are, however, sad to say that as of next Friday, October 25th, Snap's "Sweetheart" and club manager, Jessica Bergen, will no longer be with us.  Jessica has been offered a position as a field hockey program director at Stick Time Sports in Agawam Massachusetts; and as you all know field hockey is Jessica's passion so she simply cannot pass this opportunity up.  She will be dearly missed so join me in wishing her well by signing the cards that I will have on display at the front entrance of the club.  

I am actively interviewing for the position and won't choose "just anyone" -- our new club manager has some serious shoes to fill!

Lastly -- I'd like to welcome all the new members that have joined us at Snap so far this fall.  I have a lot of plans at the club including the launch of round 2 of the Grocery List at ShopRite supermarket ....so stay tuned for further updates :) 

............but please remember to rack your weights and clean up after yourselves.  Snap isn't just a gym............it's PERSONAL. :)

Have a great week everyone....and remember....We're always listening :)

Party over HERE!!

One of our members, Michael Russo, has recently had some serious success with some adjustments he has made in his nutrition.  In just four months, after adding Isagenix nutrition to his lifestyle, Mike has lost 4 inches in his waist, and has a six-pack that is starting to show through!  His blood pressure has also been lowered, and his acid reflux has completely vanished.  Mike has always eaten real, healthy foods, but adding Isagenix has catapulted his figure into what it is today!

Because of the success that Michael has had with the small changes and additions he has made to his nutrition and lifestyle, he would like to SHARE it with YOU!  Michael will be hosting a party at the club on Thursday, August 15, 2013 at 6 PM.  Stop by if you are interested in learning some tips for living a happier, healthier life! 

**UPDATED GROUP CLASS SCHEDULE**

Class Descriptions:
Boot Camp (60min): Get pushed to your limit with this fun and challenging class instructed by AFFA certified personal trainer Tynan Santana, a former firefighter in the United States Air Force.  Designed with a mix of calisthenics, body weight exercises, plyometrics and interval strength training, you will be sure to improve your strength, endurance, confidence and overall health!

Silver Sneakers Muscular Strength and Range of Motion (MSROM) (60min): Our AFFA and ACSM certified personal trainers Brian Szmigiel and Katey Hurley have been recognized by Silver Sneakers for their expertise in working with older adults.  They make sure members have fun while moving to the music through a variety of exercises designed to increase muscular strength, range of movement, flexibility, and activity for daily living skills.  Hand-held weights, elastic tubing with handles, and a small ball are offered for resistance, while a chair is used for seated and/or standing support.

Total Body Conditioning (TBC) (60min): This 60min workout will incorporate low-moderate intensity cardio training with a variety of exercises to improve your overall strength and balance and get you toned! We will focus on light full body dumbbell work, core conditioning and stability exercises. This is the perfect 2x per week class for all fitness levels (especially if you don’t feel up to the Boot Camp challenge quite yet)!

Yoga Stretch (60 min): Classical style stretch class systematically working the entire body, stretching muscles and building foundational strength. This 60 minute class is appropriate for beginners and more experienced students alike. It is truly a complete mind-body workout. Your focus will improve, your mind will become clear, and you will feel as if you are floating out of class.
