Next Chapter by Judi Isaacson
|
Nine years ago, we posted an ad at UCF looking for an intern. Francis Allen responded. I remember he got a bit lost on the way, but never the less made it. Frank was immediately hired! Why you ask? He was able to help my Mom remove a 45 lb plate from the hack squat machine. At that time, we had no computer or any technology skills whatsoever. Frank suggested we could get a computer, and he could set up a website for us. Our Workout 32789 family immediately loved him! His go to response was ways "no problem". Through the years, we have watched Frank go from "Frank The Tank" to an amazing husband and father. He went from our intern to a dedicated trainer, coach, and dear friend.
Last week, Frank was offered a great opportunity to begin a career as a Physical Education teacher at Ivy Elementary School. He will begin full time on March 1st. Frank will continue to teach the Men's 5:45am bootcamp on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday's. He will also teach the Saturday 8:00am HIIT class. We are so excited for him and his family! Those children are so lucky to have such a dedicated individual to help them foster a love for being physical. I know Frank will be up late nights getting their workouts planned to keep children fit and healthy. At the same time, I can just imagine the smiles while they are doing it!
The other great news is our trainer extraordinaire, Cris, has left her previous position and will now be at Workout 32789 full time. With a passion for physical and mental well-being, Cris takes pride in helping others change their lives both physically and mentally for the long term. With her diverse knowledge, never ending enthusiasm, and encouraging personality, she will inspire you! Cris will guide, educate, and deliver the results you have come to expect at Workout 32789 whether on the Pilates reformer or on the training floor. Many of you already train and love Cris, but if not, we know you are going to enjoy training with her too!
Please congratulate both these amazing individuals on their next chapter !
Create an Incredible Day!

Power Performer
of the Month
|
Linda Costa
What's the biggest change you have noticed physically or mentally since you started training at Workout 32789?
I'm stronger. I have more energy. My posture and balance are better. In general, I just feel healthier and less stressed. Specifically, I've probably seen the biggest change in my arms and my core - less flab, more definition.
What's your favorite part of
working out?
Honestly, I enjoy pretty much everything, except maybe the planks. But, Diane keeps me talking, and they're done before I know it. I also really like boxing.
When did you realize it was time to make a change in your life?
I initially started with yoga to help combat stress. But, I had also put on weight and didn't like the way I looked. I added Pilates and weight training and liked the results.
What did you hope to accomplish since you started training at Workout 32789?
As I get older, I want to continue to stay as fit as I can to maintain optimal physical, mental and emotional health. I wouldn't want to imagine the alternative if I didn't work out regularly. For me, it's not an option; it's part of my lifestyle.
Congratulations to
Linda Costa
on being March's Power Performer!

Banana Buckwheat Pancakes
& Compote
Ingredients
For the pancakes
- 1 1/2 cup buckwheat flour (certified gluten-free if necessary)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 large banana, mashed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
For the blackberry compote
- 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blackberries
- 1 tablespoon coconut (or granulated) sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 tablespoon water
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon arrowroot powder (to thicken)
Directions
Preheat a large skillet over
medium-low heat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all of the pancake ingredients until you have a smooth batter.
Grease the skillet with butter or coconut oil, and use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to scoop the batter onto the skillet. Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes on the first side, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes.
Continue with the rest of the batter.
To make the blackberry compote, combine the blackberries, coconut sugar and vanilla in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Use a wooden spoon to stir until the sugar coats the berries. Gently break up the berries with the spoon until they start to break down and turn into a thick sauce.
If it is not as thick as you would like, you can add about a teaspoon of arrowroot or tapioca starch to the sauce. Stir to thicken.
Top pancakes with compote sauce
and enjoy!
