Plaza Fitness' social programming for 2009 includes cycling excursions, high peak hikes, and special exercise programs. Here are some highlights for the year:

• AROUND THE PLAZA begins 2/2/09 and ends 3/31/09

We have two special members to congratulate. Matt Amodeo was first across the finish line, and thanks to his dedication to exercise he did it in less than one month! "Man O' Steel" (as his game piece indicated) generously asked to keep the grand prize in play, on the condition that we award it to the first to finish who was positioned behind square 50 on the day he finished. Keeping that prize in play kept people motivated, including winner: Robert Shoss.

Congratulations to all who participated in our fun fitness game, and be sure to thank the Stuyvesant Plaza merchants who provided your rewards!

Special recognition should also go to the other individuals who completed all 140 spaces, including: Michael Keefrider, Michele Kwiatkowski, Ray Sullivan, Janette Swanson, David W., Emily Watterworth, Renee Parson, Faith Fish, David Doling, Jim McKeough, and Steve Schmelkin.
