| "The group support is a Big one for me!!" says Brandi Sadler Caraker of Cobden."I've found myself not sticking with a workout on my own, but now with these classes I have a group that is encourging and supportive of me! If i miss one class I am getting calls "missed you at class tonight so better see you at the next one".... It is the push I need to keep me on track with my fitness goals!!!" Tori Kaufman of Anna concurs, "I love attending the fitness classes at Fitness Forum because they make me feel alive. These classes really help relieve stress and make women feel better about themselves. All the people in the classes are very helpful and make you feel accepted. I have always lived by the motto that NO ONE CAN MAKE YOU FEEL INFERIOR WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT and at fitness forum I never feel inferior. Thank you Fitness Forum and the wonderful teachers in the fitness classes." Chiming in, Jerri Schaefer adds "What I enjoy most about these classes is the sense of accomplishment. I appreciate how everyone made me feel like part of your fitness family after the very first class. I look forward to coming each week." Brandi Sadler Caraker says she could'nt agree more, "I'm so glad I started these classes!!! I love the feeling of accomplishment I get when I finish a class! Also as a mother of two small children it is a very nice 'Mommy Time' for me. These classes are not only awesome for my body but I have found them to be a HUGE stress relief!!! I'm so grateful that I worked up enough courage to attend that first class, now I*m not sure I*ll ever stop!!!" Natalie Miller of Anna is another instructor at Fitness Forum. Miller's class is called 'Holy Butt', a workout that includes plyometrics, squats, lunges, and a variety of other calisthenic exercises with an emphasis on training the lower body. "I have been taking group fitness classes at Fitness Forum for over a year. Throughout the course of this year, I have lost weight and inches, toned up and gained strength, and found a new confidence. Now, I am an instructor and it feels great to help others accomplish what I had accomplished. Also, being in a group fitness class is FUN! We laugh and have a good time while getting a great workout." "We do laugh and have a great time." Adds Houseright, "we are always joking around." "Brenda is known for being pretty tuff. But some of the 'tuff' things she says are funny. Like, 'this hurts me as much as it hurts you', and 'come on you guys! this isn't REST camp!, or this isn't TALK camp!'" Heather Craig agrees, "Not only do you get a great workout, you get to laugh and enjoy yourself with other beautiful ladies." Houseright says that she loves teaching the classes and is very pleased with their popularity. "I love a full class! On a few occasions, unfortunatley we haven't had enuff room to accomodate everyone wanting to participate." And allthough mostly female, we do have some male participants, and they are welcome and encouraged to join in. "I'm thrilled to be able to share my enthusiasm about fitness and exercise with everyone, male & female, all ages. Best of all, these classes are helping people get into a routine of regular exercise. So don't be intimidated or be afraid. Don't wait. Come join us today." As Christie Peebels said, "I agree with Rebecca, Don't wait or be hesitant about joining like I was. I wish I would have joined Fitness Forum much sooner." |
