Do NOT attempt to buy membership before June 18th. Until this date, the only membership available for purchase on the website will be for 2006-2007: do not re-purchase this membership. Please wait until June 18th. I will send another email reminding you when it goes on sale, but wanted to let you know when it will be. Finally, we are excited about two new programs we are offering this summer. The first is a pedometer step challenge called Pedomination. Teams will compete to accrue the most steps each week, tracked with pedometers. We are still nailing down the details, but we are designing the competition to include all steps, regardless of where they are taken to allow members to be active anywhere. Check the website for more details in the next few days. The second is an 8-week weight loss program called the Summer Slim Down. Specially designed to be welcoming to new exercisers, this program is a multifaceted, individualized, safe, and healthy approach to weight loss through exercise. The program will include two specialized classes each week, several sessions with a personal trainer, measurement tracking and goal setting, and continual email support. Members new to working out will be introduced to a wide range of exercise types and become familiar with various pieces of equipment. Again, check the website for more details in the next few days. As always, feel free to contact me with concerns or comments!
