We are moving!!!

Guiding Fitness is growing!  Please excuse the mess for the next couple of weeks, we are moving into the suite next door! 

We will try our best not to interfere with any classes, so please plan on coming as normal.

Here are some exciting changes that will occur after the move:

1) Fitness Classes
The front room will be used for fitness classes.  By April 1st the floors will be wood and we will have more mirrors so you can watch your fancy moves!
We will offer 2 different class pack options.  Class Pack A is $35 for one class a day (includes hour and/or half hour classes).  Class pack B is $50 for unlimited classes.  

2) Circuit PT
The second room will be used for Circuit PT.  We are going to extend the hours so you can come in and do your guided workout at a time that is convenient for you.  We will also hold some of our kids classes here. 

3) Personal Training
The third room will be used for Personal Training.  We will have a stationary bike, 3 punching bags, free weights, medicine balls, stability balls and much more.

4) Kids
The whole back room will be used for kids.  They will have their own bathroom too!  

If you are interested in starting a fitness program at your work, please let us know.  We have some great ideas and would love to speak with you and/or your employer.

We look forward to the move and all of the benefits that will come with it! 

If you have any questions/concerns please feel free to contact us.

Some Interesting Information You Might Not Know

     As i read articles about improving your health to pass along to you, I come across  some helpful information that is not part of the subject i have written about.  Here are some helpful little tidbits for a healthier you.
     Did you know that orange and green vegetables such as squash, bell peppers, carrots, sweet potatoes, spinach, peas and broccoli will help lower your risk of death from almost any cause?  They are rich in alpha carotene which can reduce your mortality risk by more than one-third.  Research shows alpha carotene is even stronger than beta carotene in slowing and stopping growth of cancer cells.
     Did you know that eating some kinds of fish can help prevent periodontist disease?  We all know that brushing and flossing your teeth is essential for a healthier smile, but adding fish high in omega-3 fats in your diet will help also.  Fatty acids (DHA) and (EPA) are found in cold water fish such as salmon and sardines. 
     Do you know what kind of juice is best in the morning to help get blood flowing in you brain?  Beet juice is a good source of nitrates which converts to nitrites with saliva which is good for blood vessels by helping them relax to assist better blood flow.
     Did you know that warm milk is not the only beverage that can help you sleep?  Cherry juice is high in melatonin, which is a sleep-regulating hormone.  Keep in mind though, that sweetened juice will add more calories, so always drink unsweetened juice.
     Did you know that low-carb diets have little impact on heart disease risk, unless you include a lot of veggie-derived fats?  These are vegetables including beans, tofu, nuts, legumes, olive oil just to name a few.  These will lower you risk of heart disease by 30 percent.
