Just DO

I am SOOOOO glad that we have an unpretentious club. Take a look at this link from Slate and see what others have to go through, put up with, tolerate, or endure, just to get in a workout.
We have a very efficient and utilitarian set up, mixed with just the right amount of charm, elegance and decor. True, I would make some changes to the Cycling Studio if I were King, but it effectively provides us with the space and equipment necessary to accomplish our objectives. Namely, as I pointed out last night, as suites individual needs, to:
Burn calories
Get fit (or fitter)
Manage stress
Add leg and core strength
Add cycling specific speed
Build endurance
Enhance cardio-vascular capabilities
Regulate hormones
Balance balance
Fine tune focus
Race faster
Finish stronger
Groove to often obnoxious tuneage at full volume

Conversely, the yin to our yang, we have a calming and comfortable Yoga room to stretch, pose, breathe and engage. Michele is a wonderful teacher of this important part of our overall fitness and good health. I will have some sample video of her up by the end of the week (along with the Seattle UTT promo).

Upon completion of your workout, our shower and sauna facilities are fabulous plus the staff is as cordial and personable as they get (even handing out TWO towels on occasion). I might be a touch biased as an instructor, but given a choice of clubs, the BAC would be mime. Photo above is of the shower facility of my first gym (bring your own towel).

Oh, yeah, and if you really want to you can lift things up and put them down again. Funny.

My latest take is that I don't care what it is that you do (Cross-fit, yoga, Zumba, spinning, karate, tennis, whatever) as long as you DO something, and on a regular basis and with a high degree of enthusiasm.

Tonight we trail run and tomorrow we spin at 0530.

It's all about the DO.
