Also, before the show a bunch of us ran the Fitchburg Police Association Community 5k road race.  The race director and volunteers did a great job with traffic and the post race get together was a blast hanging out with fellow FitCampers and meeting new people.  We’re definitely going to add that one to our annual race calendar for next year.

A big Congratulations is in order for the following FitCamp members who did the race on Saturday representing the studio:  (in no particular order)

Milly B., Gary O., Kris G. Kathy H., Mike D., David D., Nick, Jayne M., Erica G., Andy C., Glenn C., Angela L., Emma L. and yours truly.

Get ready to CRUSH IT!

Well, as excited as I am to start BootCamp this year there are a few more things that have me feeling all amped up today.

# 1.    Tomorrow, June 5th from 10:30am-1:30pm Nick is hosting another POSE Running Clinic.  If you are a FitCamp member and haven’t done this clinic then you are truly missing out on achieving better results.  This 3 hour workshop will teach you how to run more effortlessly, with faster times and avoid all those common running injuries.  Now don’t go thinking you have to be this all-star runner to do this clinic.  No matter what level you are at from an avid walker to an ultra- marathoner you will be blown away by how much this info will help you.  Keep reading… 

# 2.  Monday, June 7th we start our new Summer Schedule and have added 2 new classes.  If you’re a 4pm FitCamper you’ve been asking for this for months.  We’re adding in a 4pm TuTh BootCamp class for the summer.  If this class gets high attendance during the summer like the 4pm MWF then we’ll keep it.  Check out our updated summer class schedule. 

# 3.  Also next week we will be introducing THREE new instructors!  Now don’t act all shocked and surprised.  If you’ve been here over the past few months then you already know them.  Tiffany, Erin and Karen are certified personal trainers who have been working with me and Nick for that past 2 months going through our FitCamp Instructor Development Program.  All three of these girls have been studying and working their butts off learning the moves, the programs and tips to becoming star quality FitCamp instructors.  Over the next few weeks you will be seeing a lot more of them as they start team teaching with me and Nick.  Also we will all be launching a brand new coaching program and Erin and Karen will be starting a revamped FitCamp kids program in early July (more info coming soon!).  If you haven’t met either of these girls yet then please be sure to take a moment to introduce yourself next time you see them in class.

# 4.  On a sad note, we will no longer be offering Sat 8am or Sun 4pm Kickboxing during the summer months due to instructor availability.  However, Dee will be teaching a Thursday evening 6:30pm class starting next week on June 10th.  Make sure to sign-up on the whiteboard at the studio if you plan on attending this class.

# 5.  AND Finally!  to end on a great note… On Saturday, June 26th at 7pm we will be hosting our FitCamp Summer Social/Movie Night.  Bring your lawn chairs and favorite Hawaiian shirt and check out a great movie (TBD) projected “Drive -In Style” on the studio wall.  Then hang out and share a few beverages, stories and laughs with your fellow members.  More details coming soon!

That’s all for now.  Have a great weekend!

Please enjoy the break and have a safe holiday weekend!

The FitCamp Team

-Patrick, Nick, Dawn, Tiffany, Karen & Erin!
