Weekly Club News From Michele - June 18, 2013

Helloooo Snap Avon!

It's another exciting week at Snap Avon and I'm thrilled to see so many faces in the gym despite this time of year typically being a slower time. Lots of people working on their fitness -- love it! In a rush and want to get in and get out? Try combining your cardio with your weight workouts. Come tap any one of us - Jess, Katey, Brian, or myself for some quick tips to get you going. We are here for YOU!

Now for this week's club news:

1. Partayyyy at the club Thursday night from 7-8pm! Myself and quite a few Snap Avon rock stars are hosting another Isagenix event full of samples, real life stories that will amaze you (as they have me!), and just a fun time to get to know your fellow Snap Members. In a nut shell....if you are tired of feeling tired, not recovering from workouts, not losing weight, or just want optimum health, --- or to learn about nutrition as I will also be discussing health/nutrition --- this party is for YOU. Woot Woot!

2. Brian's Challenge is so much fun! Team #4 just reclaimed the lead this week!! You can check out this week's video of the week:

3. Andddddddddddddddddd..........well, I can't believe Jessica talked me into this, but she and I did a parody of the "Prancercise" craze going on for my own video of the week (I do videos leading up to all my shows - usually exercises that my followers request but, well, you'll see *embarrassing*). You can watch our ridiculousness here:

4. Interested in the mental side of your workouts? Jessica just wrote a really great blog post on it that I wanted to share. You can check it out here:

5. Snap Fitness could not be more proud of Snap Member Jesse Pellegatto for literally defining what we mean when we call people ROCK STARS at the club ---- after only two months, Jesse is down 20lbs, 5 inches, and officially in the "normal range" instead of being considered "obese." Check out his page documenting his fitness journey and show him some support -- SNAP AVON style :) :) GO JESSE GO!!

6. Have you checked out the Michele Approved grocery list I crated at Shop Rite? Be sure to send us pictures of you shopping! It would be awesome to get some testimonials too :) Here is some more global recognition (on the fitness universe website and not just on their Facebook page):

7. And just a couple housekeeping items: please be sure to rack your weights and wipe down the machines. It's gross to see sweat marks (ew!)-- and since the facility is open beyond staffed hours, it's important that we all clean up after ourselves to ensure a clean environment. Let's also be sure to bring a change of shoes on rainy days to keep the mud out as well.

All for now --- have a great week everyone and know that I am ALWAYS listening :)

Hellllloooo Snap Avon!

Are you fired up for the week? I sure am! Lots of fun announcements so let me get right to them:

1. I have collaborated with Shop Rite supermarket in Canton and implemented my very own custom grocery list for the community and especially for all of you to shop with! Now you can walk in, grab a categorized list, and find all of the Michele ApprovedTM healthy proteins, starches, fruits, veggies, spices, super foods, and more!! Look for the Michele ApprovedTM aisle tags throughout the store to make all items easy to identify!! At Snap Fitness we WALK THE WALK and aren't just about piling in the memberships. We CARE. I am on a mission to make living a healthy lifestyle EASY....and for there to be NO MORE BLAND FOOD DIETS! Spread the word! SNAP AVON and SHOP RITE SUPERMARKET are WHERE IT'S AT!

2. Check out the attached picture showing what happened when club member Eleanor came in with her Shop Rite bag!

3. The Michele ApprovedTM movement (with then addition of the supermarket collaboration) made worldwide news on the Fitness Universe Facebook page -- you can see the story here: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=598559270174536&set=a.138308322866302.18366.138069379556863&type=1&theater

5. There will no longer be a Tuesday/Thursday 9AM Total Body Conditioning class due to lack of attendance. I am completely open to offering another class at a different day/time if there is enough interest. Email the club and let us know! Grab friends!

6. API brought their line of protein powder, glutamine, creatine, and a pre-workout especially for the club with all of our college students home from break! Pricing and product info is online at http://www.apixtreme.com. Products are available for purchase at the club during staffed hours for the same price as the web (minus shipping!).

8. For your and everyone in the club's safety, please be sure to not let people in the club without their access card. Thank you!

9. If you haven't picked up on it yet with all the menus and the shopping list I've implemented, I am a huge advocate of healthy nutrition. Because I am so passionate about this, I am offering free nutritional consultations AND COACHING where I will provide a custom nutrition program and ongoing support with the Isagenix system that, as a professional athlete, I swear by. Reach out to the club today to meet one-on-one with me!

10. Lastly, as a friendly reminder, let's be sure to all do our part to keep our club clean. So on rainy days let's bring a change of shoes so we don't track mud all over the place; and let's also be sure to rack our weights and clean the equipment after use. :)

All for now --- Remember...I'm ALWAYS listening.

ROCK YOUR WEEK!

It's a HOT one out there today so come on in tonight and enjoy the air conditioning while you work out! Here are this week's club updates:

1. PARRRRTY! Myself, Katey, Brian, Jessica, and a bunch of your fellow club members are throwing a PARTY! Come on into the club tomorrow night at 7pm for our celebration of all the transformations going on at the club. Learn about their stories utilitizing Isagenix, meet some new people, enjoy a bunch of samples, and COME TO LEARN about how the body transforms from the inside out. Sick and tired of feeling sick and tired? I can't say it enough: "It's ALLLLL about the nutrition." Come learn more tomorrow night, Thursday, at 7pm! Attached is a flyer!

2. Brian's Challenge is getting more and more exciting each week. If you haven't been following our Facebook page, you missed Jessica's post about losing her shoe on the sled and having to run with one sneaker - hilarious! Here is a video summary:

3. I just want to give a giant shout out to Joanna Gould for her amazing transformation since joining Snap Fitness. Joanna has lost 47lbs, 2 dress sizes, and several inches in the last 4 months. I couldn't be more proud of her. Attached is her story - Joanna - you are a rock star!

4. THANK YOU so much everyone for all the positive reviews coming in on the club. Just got another one that says, ""The equipment is good, the club is always neat and clean and the staff members are very helpful and always pleasant." It means a lot to me that you are all enjoying the changes at the club and I want you to know that I encourage your suggestions, thoughts, and of course encouragement any time.

5. Lastly - please note that there will be NO STAFFED HOURS Monday for Memorial Day. Thank you to all of you that service our country - I couldn't be more proud to live here.

Have a great rest of your week - hope to see you in the club soon!

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!
