Body Pump Weights

Some of you may have tried to come to Body Pump this morning and were turned away because a set of weights was missing and there was not enough equipment for everyone.

We would like to be the first to say we are sorry this had to happen. Gold's Gym in Toccoa is just now launching Pump, and those weights have belonged to them since Body Pump was launched at any of our gyms.

We are working to order new weights immediately, and they will be arriving quickly. We pride ourselves on having enough equipment for everyone, and we're here to serve you, our clients. This will always be our number one goal.

Until the new weights come in, our GFM will be working on a temporary solution for the time being.

Please be patient with us, we are working to solve this issue as quickly as possible.

If you have any questions, please speak with our GFM or manager, Rob Harrell.

Thank you again for your cooperation. Look for great things out of Body Pump come January!

A Full Plate of Fitness

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! It's only a day away! Thanksgiving makes us think of two things, food and Black Friday.

Black Friday.

It's enough to make us shiver. The long lines, the crowds of people, the empty sale racks.

We have a different way we like to spend the Friday after Thanksgiving. Nationally, Gold's Gym opens up their doors and allows anyone, member or not, to come to their local Gold's and exercise for free that day.

We'll be participating, and would love to see each and every one of you bring your friends and families in for the day. We'll have our 2 hour spin class going on, with a chance to win a free monthlong membership. Our treadmills will be going, the weights will be pumping and the gym buzzing with energy.

So skip the mall, and burn off all those calories from the big holiday with us. See you there!

Motivational Quotes

Like I said last week, the holiday are coming. 

Quick.

Everyone goes into that holiday party with the best of intentions, but end up failing miserably. After two pieces of cake, way too many mini meatballs and a heavy serving of artichoke dip, the calories have multiplied before your eyes, or, ahem, your waistline.

Here's a few motivational quotes for you to remember as the holiday temptations get closer and closer.

1. "Nothing tastes as good as being thin will feel." - Anonymous 

2. "Yesterday you said tomorrow." - Nike 

3. "The good Lord gave you a body that can stand most anything. It's your mind you have to convince." - Vince Lombardi

4. "Eat for the Body you want, not the body you have." - Anonymous

5. "No matter how slow you go, you are still lapping everyone on the couch." - Anonymous

6. "You will never know your limits until you push yourself to them." - Anonymous

7. "If you went running when you first started thinking about it, you'd already be back by now." - Nike

8. "It took more than a day to put it on. It will take more than day to take it off." - Anonymous

9. "Those who are quite satisfied sit still and do nothing; those are are not quite satisfied are the sole benefactors of the world." - Walter Savage Landor

And finally, a classic:

10. "Just do it." - Nike 

Thanksgiving

It's on the way.

Yes, I am talking about Thanksgiving. Bring on the turkey, mac and cheese, cranberry sauce and food induced coma.

But, it's a holiday so all the calories, fat and sugar I consume doesn't count, right?

Wrong.

According to the New York Times, weight gained during the holidays is almost never lost. Can we get a YIKES?!

Thankfully for you, we've created a solution to this problem.

Friday, November 15th we'll be having a 2 hour spin class to burn off all those calories from the day before. All three of our spin instructors will be in class to keep things fresh as well as motivating and energetic.

The catch-- you can't get off your bike. You have to stay on the whole time.

The reward-- stay on for two hours and you'll get a one month membership for free.

The best news-- Friday after Thanksgiving is Free Workout Friday. That means Gold's Gym is opening our doors to the public. Membership or not, anyone can come workout for free. So bring your friends and family in town for the holidays to the class with you for free.

Class will be from 9:15-11:15, so come ready to work and bring lots of water.

We hope to see you there.
