Two weeks ago, my business partner and I decided to close down our DTC facility.  We were at the end of our five year lease, and simply put, that location never turned out to be as successful as we had planned or hoped it would be.  As we dissembled treadmills, tore down the desk, and removed pictures from the walls, I realized that Genesis Fitness was undergoing yet another important transformation.  But along with the disappointment this change creates, it also brings excitement and even growth.  As sad as I am to close a location, I am at the same time very excited and inspired to dedicate all of our time and energy into our Lodo facility. 

I would like to thank all of our loyal customers, members, and friends that supported us through the last five years at that location.  Thank you to those who have already made the move over to Lodo, and thank you to those of you who can't make the commute.  You not supported me, but also my instructors and staff.  Thank you! 

Thank you for your business and support!

Starting immediately, if you refer someone who has not already taken a camp at Genesis Fitness to any 5-week camp, you will receive 50% off of your next 5-week camp.  If that person then becomes a member directly following their first camp, you will then get your next 5-week camp for FREE.  We only require that your referral provide your name at the time of registration. Please remind them to fill out the referral box on the registration page when registering online.

Wondering who you can refer?   

Parents, refer your teen to the new Youth program beginning next week to get 50% off of your own camp!  Or if you have friends that are intimidated by "Boot Camp", tell them to try our new Basic Training program!  Details for both programs below! 

New Programs Beginning June 13th! 

New! 5 Week Mid-Morning Basic Training  

8:30 - 9:30 AM Tuesday and Thursday

OR 

10 - 11 AM Monday, Wednesday, and Friday  

Basic Training is a brand new camp format that takes the 'boot' out of 'boot camp.'  We have stolen the name from our former 1-week program.  This class is aimed towards those who may be intimidated by Genesis Fitness or want a less aggressive approach.  Basic Training will provide a relaxed, fun atmosphere, simply with a less intense approach.  While Basic Trainees will still burn calories and get a workout worthy of the Genesis Fitness label, all levels of fitness are encouraged.

New! 5 Week Youth Boot Camp (Ages 13-17) 

4 - 5 PM Monday, Wednesday, and Friday  

This new program for teens ages 13-17 will provide an exercise venue for youth who are not currently involved in sports, or those that are involved in sports, but want to add another type of fitness training. Instruction will include proper resitance techniques to avoid injury and effective exercises to maintain cardiovascular health in a fun atmosphere.  Through positive reinforcement and healthy competition, the program will provide a non-threatening environment for teens to learn the importance of physical training and how to incorporate fitness into the rest of their lives.

Congratulations to all 2011 Body Challenge Finishers!

For the third year in a row, Genesis Fitness gave away

$1,000 to the Genesis camper who made the most physical change in 12 weeks, based on photos, measurements and weight loss.  While all participants who completed the challenge saw some positive results, the winners made some drastic change!    

Tied for 4th place were Katie Beckman (lost 20 lbs) and Sheryl Backstrom (lost 35 lbs).

3rd Place and an iPod Shuffle went to Matt Cobb (lost 35 lbs).

2nd Place and an iPad went to Holly Wyatt (lost 16 lbs).

1st Place and $1,000 - Mike Vrabel (lost 34 lbs). 

All of these campers were very disciplined with their nutrition as well as worked extremely hard in camp.  Congratulate all of them and let them be an inspiration!  Look for the next Body Challenge next February!
