HAPPY, HEALTHY 2011!

It's been awhile since my last post!  I guess the holiday season took up all my time but with a day off from work today, I'm starting to think about all the exciting things happening for 2011! If you are in the Chicago area and the South Loop is not too much of a jump for you, Chicago is getting an amazing gym; Monkey Bar Gym Chicago! MBG CHICAGO

I spend a lot of times in different gyms whether at work/training.  But this, I have to admit, is MY IDEAL gym and the training philosophy is spot on!  I first visited the MBG Madison a few years back when a good friend of mine was a trainer there.  She put me through one workout and I was hooked!  This is not your 'normal' gym.  There is no Squat Rack or Bench, no Treadmill or Spin Class.  To me, the MBG has the type of equipment that makes my mouth water, finally a place to make working out fun!  I believe so much in Jon Hinds training ideals that I had to get the 'Certified Natural Trainers' certification through him. It changed my way of training my clients immediately!  And NOW it is right here in my own backyard! (literally 2 blocks away!)

The MBG CHICAGO opens January 3rd.  The entire first week of classes are FREE so try to make it down there and try it out.  Class times are as follow:
M-F 6am, noon, 4pm, 5pm, 6pm
Saturdays (will be free indefinitely) 9am and 10am

Starting January 10th, MBG CHICAGO 60-DAY CHALLENGE! 60-Day Challenge Video
This program is an amazing experience and allows you to have unlimited access to the gym throughout the 60 days.  You will get one-on-one training, group training, nutritional guidance, pre/post assessments.  A great start to the New Year and a great challenge for you at any Fitness Level.
