Support for "Gooze's Guys"

Mary Gooze, a member of The Zone, was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. She has been an inspiration to so many at The Zone with her positive attitude and determination. Please consider supporting "Gooze's Guys" as they run the Madison Half Marathon in honor of Mary!

As many of you know, goal setting has been an important part of my life and as I was preparing for my new adventures for 2012, cancer reared its ugly head and changed the course for me. The Madison Half Marathon will have to wait for another year (doggone it, and I was running so well) but my best ever husband and eldest son have agreed to run for me on May 27th (and they are each set to beat my anticipated time). Although I do continue to work out nearly every day, cheering them from the sidelines will be be my goal for this year.

The American Cancer Society has had multiple resources for me to access along with a support system and a research team that have been providing me with encouragement and hope. We are giving back with Rob and Aaron racing and raising money that will benefit the American Cancer Society as part of their DetermiNation team. If you wish to support their efforts for me on behalf of the American Cancer Society, please search by team name - gooze’s guys. http://determination.acsevents.org

Thank you from us and others affected by this disease. As Michael Jackson would say, let’s “Just Beat It”!

Friendly Competition

  The 31st annual Crazylegs Classic Run/Walk is just around the corner and registration is open!

Join The Zone Team for the event on April 28th and help us win the local competition! An article in this week's Oregon Observer featured three local running groups that will be participating in a friendly competition at Crazylegs. The groups are: The Zone Fitness and Training, Firefly Coffeehouse Running Group and Supreme Structures. The team captains will also be competing against each other! Team captains are: Miranda, Erika Wiedler from The Firefly, and Dan Bertler from Supreme Structures. Here is an excerpt from the paper describing the competition:

"All good rivalries need a contest, a prize and something to esteem. The two contests on the line are the fastest average overall team time and the fastest team captain. The winning team will get a trophy to display in their business. Bertler is having a unique trophy crafted that will travel to the new winner each year. But the three team captains agreed as far as the fastest team captain prize that there is nothing better than good old-fashioned bragging rights-some thing there will be no shortage of with this trio."

Anyone can join the team! Invite all of your friends and family out for a day of fun! To register, go to www.crazylegsclassic.com. Choose The Zone Fitness and Training as your team and use the password "thezone" to sign-up!

Wendy Wartenweiler Bronchetti, author of the article, member of the Firefly running group and originator of this competition, finished her article with this:

"Whether you come join us some Saturday, start walking or begin race training, the important thing is to just get out there. By joining Crazylegs or any other race, remember that you win for yourself just by making it to the start line and that it does not matter where you finish. You are still beating everyone on the couch. Go for it. You deserve it."

Happy New Year!

We are so happy to be celebrating our one year anniversary as The Zone Fitness and Training!  To all of our members, both old and new, we'd like to say thank you for making 2011 a great year by offering an Anniversary Special on memberships! For a limited time, if you have not signed a membership contract with the gym and would like to do so, we'll give you the old rate of $60/month (unlimited membership) for 2012. You would still be charged on a monthly basis, but would be agreeing to pay the old rate for one full year.  Stop in to get signed up today!  This offer is good through January 31st!

 

Watch our schedule online and on the hallway board at the gym for upcoming Sunday morning "Group Workouts"!  These workouts with be led by an instructor, or an instructor will be there to give you assigned workout that everyone can do together.  The "group workout" won't be a regular fixture to Sunday mornings, so check back in for dates.

 

The group fitness schedule will still the same this new year, with the exception of our Saturday morning instructor rotation class at 8a.m.  For the next 8 weeks, we will be holding our "Biggest Loser Fitness Challenges" from 8:15a.m. - 9:00a.m.  You do not have to be in the Biggest Loser program to participate in these challenges!  All members are welcome to join in!  Combat Boxing at 7am and cycling at 9:05 will remain the same for Saturday mornings.

 

Holiday Hustle will still be on Tuesday mornings at 5:15a.m. with Miranda, but is now named Cardio Mix.  Same class, different name!

 

Don’t forget: Refer a friend to The Zone and you will BOTH receive half off of their first month’s membership!

 

 

Thank you again for a great 2011!  I'm sure 2012 will be an even better

year! cheeky
