Last BOOT CAMP of the Year!

Rev up that metabolism with our final Boot Camp of 2010.  It is a great, economic way to make sure you don’t neglect exercise and gain weight this holiday season.  Forget doing boring “cardio” to burn extra calories.  Come try an exercise experience that feels more like play than a workout. Worried about your pre-camp fitness level?  Don’t fret; the workouts are a go-at-your-pace event, and all fitness levels are welcome.  Put in the effort and you will love the results.  No two workouts are the same; all will be challenging.  Nina will be leading the classes M, W, F mornings at 6:00 here at the Avalon at Arlington Square Basketball Court.  Call 571.242.4775 or visit our website for more details.

NEW SERVICES:

Pilates

You may have noticed that funny looking blue “chair” sitting unassumingly on the floor of Studio B.  Admittedly, looking at it is underwhelming…until you try it.  Check out some of the pictures on our website of Heather using it.  Pssst…she makes it look easy.  It’s not!  If you’ve ever wanted to develop deep core strength (or a precise control of any of your muscles for that matter), let Heather take you through a Pilates session or two or ten.  I did.  Funny thing is, Heather looks so cute and innocent while she is teaching you what to do.  She even smiles while you feel a stirring/burning in regions you didn’t know could contract.  And then the “are you kidding me” aspect of the workout sets in?  Somehow you finish the session barely sweating, fully confident you got a great workout, and thinking…”man I gotta try that again.”

Martial Arts/Self Defense

In addition to being a seasoned Personal Trainer, Ty is an accomplished Martial Artist and we are excited to bring his skill set to our team.  We wanted to create a unique experience of Martial Arts that is more client-centric rather than program-centric.  We are even more excited that we get to couple his skill set with our unique training environment.  If you’ve ever thought of taking Martial Arts lessons, but don’t know which discipline(s) you’d like to study, Ty may be just the answer for you.  What we have created (and are still creating) is a personalized version of some of the best martial arts world.  Whether you are new to the arts, wanting to earn a black belt, or a fighter looking to improve technique and conditioning, we can help.  Click here to learn more.

STUDIO C – Operation “Hurry Up and Wait”

2010 has been a year of learning that in business, often things take longer than you expect.   After starting our lease negotiations in December of 2009, we were finally able to sign a lease in August of 2010.  Almost 3 months later we are still waiting on both Arlington County and our landlord grant permits and renovate the space.   Needless to say we are chomping at the bit to create the space we have envisioned, a facility like no other you will visit!   Not only will we have more “toys,” and experiences you will not likely find anywhere else, but opening that space will also allow us to offer another fantastic wellness service…but that detail is for another newsletter.   For now our estimated opening date of Studio C has been pushed back to January or February of 2011.  You can follow our Studio C updates here, and on Facebook and Twitter.   Can’t wait to change lives in our newest place!
