As I mentioned in last week's newsletter, every year we like to do something for our anniversary.
It seems like only yesterday my father and I were choosing the equipment and setting up the layout for the gym.
That was back in 2001.
I can't believe how fast the time has gone by as we are now going into our 7th year!!!
This year we wanted to do something real special....

LOOK FOR SOME CHANGES!!!
New Equipment, New Programming, and Club Re-design
As we approach our 7th year in service to the West Islip Community and surrounding areas All 4 Sports and Fitness will undergo somewhat of a transformation. We are calling it, “7 Years New”.

• Magnetic flywheel allows for a smooth (no friction), quiet ride
• Computer measures RPM’s, trip distance, heart rate, resistance, and power output
(4) Precor AMT Trainers
• This top of the line elliptical/stepper does more than customize a workout, it customizes a movement -- adapting to your motion -- which means you can completely change the motion and paths of your steps without so much as the push of the button
(2) Precor Total Body Ellipticals and (2) Precor Cross-trainer Ellipticals
• We are moving out the old and making room for new versions of the old favorites

It's all typed up and ready to go, but I decided to wait a couple days.
Something struck me today that I don't think can wait another minute.
Don't worry the special announcement is coming soon, but for now I need to get this off my chest.
As I am sure you are aware of if you watched the news, walked past a newspaper stand, or seen the look on everyone's face...the stock market is bonkers today.
Now I don't know enough to write about that, and it probably wouldn't be relevant for a health club newsletter, but it got me to thinking about what we read and see on TV everyday and how it affects us.
Images of hurricanes tearing up the coast, negative campaigning tactics leading up to the election, and now as if the economy isn't bad enough, I feel like the press purposely made the papers bigger today to fit those giant headlines!!
What is my point here and what does it have to do with fitness?
Well maybe it doesn't have to do with exercise, but it does have to do with your fitness....
It has to do with your wellbeing....
It reminds me of what my friend Jim Labadie always says: "What you focus on, grows".
I'm not saying you have to deny that these things exist....they are very much reality right now.
But what are you focused on?
Negativity?
Or what is possible for you?

Not only are we starting another Fitness Boot Camp next week, but I know what you did this weekend. Hotdogs....hamburgers....haha, only kidding, I wasn't really spying on you....
If you did anything like me this past weekend you need to get back to the gym.
I was down in Myrtle Beach to play a baseball tournament with my team the LI Drive, and from Thursday to Monday we ate out every single meal....
The good news is that we are back in September.
The month of returning to responsibility and the classroom.
This month I have a couple of great solutions to get you back in the gym.
One would be for you to come down next Tuesday and do the "Results Driven" Orientation so you can listen to me TALK about working out. (probably not the best option)
Or the other would be for you to jump right into September by signing up for Fitness Boot Camp.
There really is no excuse anymore as we are adding a 5th time slot!!
And I also just recorded a video and said that I would give you your money back plus two months to the gym if you don't like it!!!
My mistake but this was like the 20th take and I'm too tired to re-film the video.
Now, you can't just come in once and say you don't like it to get two months free.
You have to give it a legitimate shot.
I can guarantee you will like it and get results!!
