Getting through a holiday weekend

Memorial Weekend is coming up which usually means BBQ's and drinking. Keep yourself in check with these 5 tips:

1. Control your portion sizes
2. Make the best choices possible in every situation
3. Drink a lot of water to beat the heat
4. If you are going to a BBQ, make a healthy option (or if you are hosting!)
5. Keep your focus on enjoying the people you are with, not the food

There's no reason to deprive yourself of things you enjoy, just make sure you don't overindulge. Keep things in moderation and keep working out. Too much of ANYTHING (even healthy foods) get stored as fat. Think small, portion controlled. And the gym is ALWAYS open!!

Good luck and stay strong!

HAPPY MONDAY CAMPERS!! - WEEK 2

Why get fit? Do you want to look better? Do you want to feel more energized and less tired or blah? Here is a list of 10 reasons to get fit!

• To feel stronger and look good anywhere you go


• To find healthy ways to release the stress of life


• To feel better about yourself by setting and achieving goals


• To increase self-confidence and feel proud of yourself


• To reduce health risks, such as stroke, diabetes, and heart attack


• To improve performance in a particular sport or activity

I have seen a lot of you at the gym and that is great!!!!

Gettin' into the Groove

Hello Campers! By now, you should have attended at least 1 Fit Camp group training. Remember, you have 3 to attend each week! And in combination try out some regular Group X classes too. Each week try a new class, variety is the key!

Also, you are heading into your first weekend. Weekends tend to be the toughest part, there are always social events or just being off your weekly schedule makes it harder. Remember to stay focused and make healthy choices. Stay active, maybe work out a little harder. I am teaching an outdoor bootcamp on Saturday 5/22 at 9am, would love to have you there! We are meeting in the front of the gym first then will head over to the park.

Make WEEK 1 a successful one!!!

Welcome Campers!!!

This is the first week of the Canton Club Fit Camp! We encourage all of you to take advantage of the 3 group trainings a week. We also recommend you attend the Group X classes the gym offers though out the week. Also spin classes are provided and is a very good calorie burning class.

Each time you come for the Fit Camp Group Classes please make sure you check in at the front desk. Please let Kristy or Angie know the classes you would like to attend during the week.

Kristy and Angie are ready to help you reach your goals!! So get to the gym and get your sweat on!!!
We are here for you every step of the way!

Congratulations Losers!!!!!

Congratulations to everyone of you for losing weight over the last six weeks! In addition to losing weight, take a minute to pat yourself on the back for other goals you may have accomplished ie. getting to the gym at least three times per week, incorporating strength training into your routines, being able to hold a plank for more than 30 sec., fitting in to a smaller pants size, eating healthier, and the examples could go on and on! Bottom line, in six weeks you made a difference!

Congrats to out top three finishers!
1) Jennifer L. w/ 10.7% weight loss
2) Rebecca F. w/ 10% weight loss
3) Amy L. w/ 9.66% weight loss

You were all awesome! Every single participant in FitCamp contributed to their success. You were a great group, always encouraging each other!

Hope to see you in the 4 Week FitCamp Expres starting May 17th!
