That was an Orientation??? Good Lord!

We had our gym orientation last night and the staff of fitness for less treated us like royalty! Marie, co-owner and Personal Trainer of our awesome sponsor Fitness4Less, was in her green and ready to go!
We filed in with smiling faces, taking in the beauty of the newly remodeled facility. Gathering in the lounge area on shiny hardwood floors lined with ceramic tiles, the team sat at cozy glass top tables just opposite the granite top smoothie bar. It had a feeling of being at a DC cafe', except there were people intensely working up a sweat on state of the art equipment all around us. Behind us was a leather sofa and a flat screen TV mounted on the wall and bookshelves with pictures of their success stories, minus ours of course, but that's on its way soon right Marie! If you haven't been there before, go check it out! For a mere $9.99 a month for 24hr access, they don't leave you with any excuse to not get in shape. They live up to the Fitness4Less name!

Marie was very detailed and thorough during our "easy" fitness evaluation, assessing EVERY aspect of our fitness level-whew! For some reason she gets stuck at the #10 and forgets how to count backwards to zero. I was hearing, "10 more, here we go...10, 10, 10, 10..." in my sleep last night. I think I actually broke a sweat rolling over. We're going to have to work on that. But in the end Norm, in true baseball style knocked it out the box, Charlene was in the ZONE walking at warp speed, Lya was able to sweat and maintain her beautiful smile-the ENTIRE time, and Oteal quickly mastered the art of sweating and STILL looking gorgeous! Me...I wore the wrong bra - Nuff said!

The Gazette reporters and photographers will be there on Friday for our first "real" workout, oh my! It looks so much easier when you are sitting on the couch watching it on TV. I wonder if someone can jump in every few minutes and yell, CUT!! MAKEUP! Let's just say I'm not sure I'll be sending copies of THAT issue to my friends and family!
