Blue Springs Fitness Upcoming Events You Don’t Want to Miss

Saturday, October 24th, 2009

One look at Blue Springs Fitness owners, Kurt and Nikki Mueler with their twin daughters and you know that this is a family friendly gym. Moms and stroller classes, special teen classes, and family friendly zumba/salsa dancing night have all been offered over the past year. Now we are taking it a step further by offering special Saturday classes for children 7-11. Kids in Motion will be led by long-time BSF instructor, Jennifer Stevens. Children will have a great time and learn a lot about nutrition and how to stay fit. Register soon as the classes are getting very full.

The next Zumba/Salsa dance nights will be at 5:00 on Nov. 20 and Dec. 11. The classes are led by Zumba infomercial star, Anne Marie Cotto and dance instructor Okasaky Ramos. Okasaky escaped from Cuba many years ago on a tiny raft. He went days without food and water. Maybe that’s why he is so patient. He is the perfect person for someone new to salsa to learn from because he will break it down for you all the while making you laugh and enjoy the experience.

If you’ve missed me in class these past few days it is because I’m in Perth, Australia getting ready to race in the ITU Long Course Triathlon World Championship. It has been great fun meeting athletes from all over the world. We’ll swim 1.8 miles in the Swan River, bike 50 miles, and run 12miles. It’s a beautiful venue and I’m so happy to be able to participate. If you’re interested you can follow my experiences in more detail at http://exercisingvalues.com/blog. The race begins in less than 16 hours! To my cycle class buddies: I’ll try to represent and I’ll see you in class soon.

Zumba/Salsa Celebration at Blue Springs Fitness

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

Mark Oct. 9 on your calendars because there will be a very exciting event taking place at Blue Springs Fitness. Our own beloved Zumba instructor and Zumba infomercial star, Ann Cotto, and funloving and oh so patient Salsa instructor, Okasaky Ramos will be on hand to teach Zumba for the first half of the class and traditional partnered Salsa the second half. These special classes are bargained priced at $3 but we’re offering two for $5 so you can bring your favorite partner along. There are already many people with no dance experience or particular aptitude (i.e. me) who will be taking advantage of this excellent instruction. It should be a lot of fun so I hope we will see you 6-7:30pm on Oct. 9.
