Blue Springs Fitness Special Events Could Spell Significant Fat-Loss during the Holiday Season

Monday, November 16th, 2009

There are so many upcoming exciting events at Blue Springs Fitness that it’s hard to know where to start. This Friday night brings the return of the Zumba/Salsa special Friday evening event. It will be from 5-6:30 and will feature Zumba as well as traditional Salsa instruction. It is open to non-members so be sure to invite your friends. There is a nominal fee of $3 with a two for special of $5. This is a funfilled evening where you can burn some calories before your regular Friday evening activities.

On Saturday take a peek at the children who are taking Jennifer’s Kids in Motion class. When you see how much they ar doing and how much fun they are having I’m sure you’ll want to sign your kids up for the next round. Dates and times to be announced.

On Thanksgiving Day there will be just one class but it will get you ready for your feast. Dawn has some very special fat-burning plans for you and you won’t want to miss it.

Also on Thanksgiving we will be beginning the third annual Holiday Fitness Challenge. Attend a lot of classes and bring your friends and you may just be the lucky winner of one of our two fantastic prizes: a 6 month membership and a 2 month membership. But the greatest “prize” comes from the participation itself. Just ask our student intern and new Blue Springs Fitness member, Mary Schrage. She lost ten pounds in five weeks simply by attending a variety of classes.

I hope to see you at these special events as well as at our regularly scheduled classes. Invite your friends. Get ready to head into winter in the best shape of your life.

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.
