BLAST IT!

TODAY- TOP OF EVERY HOUR- DO 20 PUSH UPS, DIPS, LUNGES, SQUATS.  WHO CARES IF YOUR OFFICE MATES CHUCKLE, YOU'LL BE THE SMILING AND STRONG ONE IN THE END!

New Year- New Power Fitness PDX- JOIN For Pre-Session Classes

Hello!

I hope the New Year finds you well thus far. Are you embarking on meeting your health and fitness goals? How are they going? Are you ready to make them even more attainable and then set a new level of goals? 

NOW is the time!  Power Fitness PDX peeps found rewards immediately when they started taking classes.  They lost inches, gained significant strength, learned they were truly athletes, and inspired others to not only exercise but identify themselves as healthy and active role models.  A big part of that is the TEAM - Together. Empower. Achieve. Motivate TM component.  In my opinion, even if you have a fearless leader to train you it is the empowerment of working alongside others that helps get you to the next level. But it is also with the encouragement, support, knowledge and training that I help guide and get you there. 

Thus, I am very excited for the class options I will be doing in Alameda.  I am adding a Women's Only class, 50+ Class, Singleton fun Night (we did this in Portland and it was a blast), and Family Fitness Class. 

This week I am starting some pre-class classes.  It will be a fun way to see what Power is all about, and have a friend join you for the workout.  All you have to do is let me know you can make it, which dates or all, and bring water, towel, and some days bring 5# and 10# weights.  The classes are so much fun and I can't wait until February to start teaching.  The pre classes are only $10/time instead of the usual $20.  Cash/check/PayPal.

Traditional Class Format - functional fitness boot camp

Schedule starting Friday, January 15th, is:


Bay Farm Island Path- Meet at the base of the Bay Farm Bridge and Veterans Street, adjacent to the tennis courts of Harbor Bay Club map

M/W-9:00-10:00 am

Crown Beach- Meet at the grassy area where Shoreline "ends" and Westline begins, by the windsurf shop hut map

F- 9:00-10:00 am


Please let me know if you are interested, which classes you can attend.  I look forward to seeing you again and sharing the morning with you while you are rocking your health and fitness goals!

Cheers-

Last date of Team Session- Team Trains Trainer Erin

Oh yeah, they brought it!  The Power Fitness PDX Team was all to happy to train me on the last day.  They came up with challenges to let me know they were quite happy to push me to my next level...and they did a fabulous job.  Each teammate picked what they wanted to do and how I should do it.  Danielle even brought ankle weights for me to wear throughout the class for an added challenge.  I loved it! Truly a fantastic way to let me know the Team was learning and taking home what they did every morning between 5:30 - 6:30 am.  They have come, trained and conquered!

Warm Up- Jog...
Then...4 laps Frog Leaps with weights, Caterpillars with 5 push ups in between, Medicine Ball Power squats/hops/twists, Hamstring Pelvic Tilt Pulses and Lifts, Power Blast Steps with Dips/Lunges/Jumps, Wall Squats and Box Jumps, Burpees, Balance Toe Touch Downs, 5-Point Lunges, Crazy Planks and more.
