New Class Changes for February

February Class Changes

You know the old adage, when one door closes another door opens…

As you know, the outdoor area was closed by the City of Coronado, due to structural issues created over 10 years ago.

We are working feverishly to find a solution which will eliminate the existing inconvenience brought on by the closure.

Unfortunately, a solution may include the removal of the waterproof canopy entirely, but will allow for immediate use of the area.

The closure has created a loss of open space to conduct classes like FIT, QuikFIT, Men’s Fusion and Fab Femmes.

As a result we have had to make some needed changes in the month of February to de-conflict those classes.

Effective Wednesday, February 1st those changes are as follows:

Current Schedule February 1st Schedule
Men’s Fusion 600 – 700am M, W, F FIT 600 – 700am M, W, F
$15 per class Now Free to Members of Island Fitness & Run Club

$15 for non-members only

Fab Femmes 830 – 900am T, FRI Fab Femmes 845 – 915am M, FRI

Regrettably we must CANCEL the 630am QuikFIT, due to a lack of attendance, however we invite all Island Fitness members to enjoy FIT at no extra charge in the am and pm in February!

Thank you for your continued support of Island Fitness …

God Bless You

I am so glad I joined Coronado Island Fitness run club! What a great group of people with just the right amount of motivation needed for me to stick with it. It’s fun and there are all levels of runners in the club so, as a newbie, I don’t feel like I am slowing people down. In addition to helping me prepare for the ½ marathon I signed up for, I have also met some genuinely nice people that I enjoy being around. Thank you George, Natasha and Coronado Island Fitness! – Leslie Althof

Thank You Linda!

Testimonial of Linda Copp, MS, RD

I became a member of Island Fitness approximately 10 years ago. After 30 years of unidirectional movement (limited to forward motion) as a long-distance runner, I felt it a novel idea to introduce lateral challenges to the muscles. Moreover, I had completed the necessary research on the loss of muscle mass as we age and was focused on nipping that puppy in the bud at a young age!! I intended to initiate this new program with reduced risk of injury (and pain!) and thus solicited the assistance of the personal trainer present at that time at Island Fitness. After several sessions, he provided a variety of exercises that I could employ each time at the facility. I felt empowered!!! And my muscle groups were grateful. I noticed changes within a few weeks in terms of strength, mobility, flexibility and muscle tone. I was definitely morphing into a gym babe.

Your Best, First Step for 2012!

            There is one new positive approach to improving your health in the New Year that can be provide immediate results … replace all soda consumption with pure water! Is making the switch from soda to water really that big of a deal?  Let’s see…

            I came across a very interesting and shocking article, written by Dr. Joseph Mercola regarding one of this country’s most commonly consumed food products.  Although, calling it a food is a stretch as the nutritional component is basically non-existent.  The average American consumes …57 gallons of soda a year, over 600 standard 12 ounce cans or about the same volume of liquid as in a barrel of oil!  Yikes, that’s a lot of soda!  (and plastic)

Tis’ the season to ACTIVATE!

We see the lights, smell the familiar fragrances and our favorite shops are decorated with all things seasonal.   The Holiday Season is afoot and what a wonderful time for family, reflection and service!

For most of us, although grateful for this time to spend with family and friends, there is a down side. All of the opportunities for enjoying (too much) Holiday fare and the extra demands on our time during the Holidays, stand ready to drain us of all our motivation to stay healthy and active.  We know we are in trouble when we start to hear those little words in our heads… “it’s okay…we have a New Year’s Resolution Plan.”  To that I say “Bah Humbug!” Resolutions are all hype and little substance. How else can we explain the familiar, sad pattern:  a “get back in shape” mentality that floods gyms and health clubs somewhere around Jan 2nd and slowly ebbs to a trickle somewhere around February 1st?

Instead of “Resolving” this holiday season, “Activate” this season – go against the grain with the ‘180 degree principle’:  do what most everyone else is not. Here’s how: Read More…
