PERSONAL TRAINING SUCCESS STORY

October marked Adell’s one year anniversary with Plaza Fitness, and we were pleased to learn we passed her first year test. When she joined, Adell was specific in her goals to decrease her diabetes medication, lose a little weight, and shape and tone solely by improving her exercise habits.

Adell’s new one year plan now includes changing her eating habits, since her efforts and our recommendations during her two guided sessions per week have been so successful. She has lost 18 pounds and 2 clothing sizes, and cut her diabetes medication in half! Adell’s journey this past year hasn’t been all rosy, as she suffered an injury to her shoulder in June which led to bursitis of her “AC” joint. But instead of sending her to physical therapy, Adell’s physician recommended she continue her sessions at Plaza Fitness. With carefully planned exercise, she returned to a pain free range of motion in October.

With educated support and guidance, you can improve your health and your quality of life. Call 482-2266 for an appointment with one of our wellness specialists and get started on the road to wellness.

WELCOME NEW MEMBER TO OUR PROFESSIONAL STAFF

James House III is the newest fitness professional to join our team of wellness specialists.

HOLISTIC HEALTH/NUTRITION SEMINAR WITH BRIANNA HARRINGTON, NOVEMBER 12TH AT 7:30 PM

“Weight Loss and Your Relationship With Food,” is the thought-provoking topic of the first in our series of seminars, led by Holistic Health/Nutrition Counselor Brianna Harrington.

Most of us rely on food as more than just an energy source for subsistence. And, just as many of us are often unaware of how certain foods and eating settings can trigger a cascade of effects in the body which ramp up unhealthy cravings and sabotage the metabolism. Brianna will discuss how you can learn to reprogram your body, and your eating choices, to achieve your weight, energy, and health goals.

This month also marks our fifth year in business in Stuyvesant Plaza, and you can help us celebrate when you attend Brianna’s seminar and enjoy some healthy refreshments. Please call 482-2266 to RSVP and join us for the celebration and seminar on Wednesday, November 12th at 7:30 PM.

WATCH FOR WINTER WEATHER UPDATES

Good heavens, we’ve already had our first snowfall! Thankfully, it didn’t have any impact on our operations or accessibility, but winter weather is unpredictable and we want to do our best to keep you informed. Should inclement weather affect our opening or closing hours, please look at the calendar on our website, www.PlazaFitness.net, for timely updates.

OUR NEW BUSINESS MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE

In the past month, we have switched our business management software to a product called Club Systems. This will have very little impact on your participation at Plaza Fitness, but we do encourage you to come in and let us program a new barcode ID card for you.

You may notice some changes in the timing and processing of your automated account payments as well. If you have any questions about the new system, please call Korey McCoy at 482-2266.
