Greetings!
"The world's favorite season is the spring. All things seem possible in May ." - -Edwin Way Teale

We hope you have been enjoying spring and the wonderful weather we've had. It's hard to believe that it's already May. April seemed to have gone by in a blur, and that could possibly be because we were gearing up for Timothy to head to Irvine for his conference and things were a little different here for a bit.

We send HUGE thanks to Danny Duggan and Stacey Walker for helping out our staff and covering our Cycle classes while Timothy was away. We heard wonderful things, which makes us very happy. Please give them a big round of applause the next time you connect with them.

And now, on to the News....
How's the Challenge Going?
The Triple Combo Challenge started right at the time that Timothy was heading out of town, so you were left somewhat to your own devices to get motivated and get your Squats, Arms, and Abs done.

Taking this into account, you stepped up and had a pretty good first week. We are now just over half-way through and have completed our third week. Things seem to be slowing down just a tad, so it's time to get re-motivated and finish strong.

Is the great weather on your mind? Are you distracted with knowing that school is out in just 6 short weeks? Have your legs, arms, and abs told you they're a little tuckered? Well, ignore all that stuff for just a wee bit longer and get 'er done!!
DO YOU THINK ABOUT NUTRITION?
Did you know that one of the best times to fuel the body with a little protein is just after your workout? While you're working out, the protein in your muscles gets broken down and damaged. Therefore, eating soon after your workout helps your body repair itself.

We have the perfect solution at the Studio. Having an Après helps decrease muscle protein breakdown, increases muscle growth, restores glycogen stores, and enhances recovery. Now who wouldn't want that happening in their body?!

Why don't y ou give one a try the next time you workout. You're going to really like them.
A SMIDGE MORE...
Did you know that Timothy once lectured throughout the States helping people that were interested in the Fitness Industry? Well, he did!

Last month, he had the opportunity to speak to a group of individuals at the AFS SUCCEED! conference. These participants are the movers and shakers in the Fitness Studio industry, so there was some pretty awesome energy.

He was a panelist (in the photo below), and was part of a roundtable group, passing on some of his sage wisdom. In addition, he learned a bit about what others in the fitness studio industry are doing. There were a couple take-aways that he hopes to pass on to you, and one of those is Nutrition (as we noted above).

Another take-away is Small Group Training, where there are only about 5 participants in the session. It is an extra special program and he's hoping to give it a go at our Studio, so look for more information coming soon.
We've seen some new faces around the studio... Are you one of them? If so, WELCOME!

Spring really does seem to be a time of change for many of us. Not only does the weather change, but we often find that we're changing our day-to-day tasks in little ways as well. Sometimes that means "spring cleaning," sometimes it means tackling workouts in a more focused way (we do want to be ready for summer after all...), and sometimes it just means that it's time to mow the lawn. But whatever it means to each of you, we hope that you're enjoying it.

For us, it means a slight change for Denise as well. When she headed down to Southern California to help her family, she didn't really know what she was getting into. After being there for a bit, she's discovered its a lot! The positive is, she's able to spend time weekly with her granddaughter...and isn't it true that our family is one of the most cherished things in our lives? Therefore, Denise will be staying in Southern California continuing to focus on her family.

With that said, she will continue to be with us in the background. She'll continue to answer emails, book appointments (and cancellations), double-check to make sure we, as teachers, are checking everyone in, and all of the other behind-the-scenes stuff she's been doing since she headed south. For the most part, things are simply going to continue as they have, but we wanted you to know that we won't be seeing her face for a while.

We wish you a wonderful May and may the spring treat you kindly!

Timothy (& Denise)
