Lose to WinLose to Win is an eight-week weight loss program designed to improve your overall health and help you reach your fitness goals. All participants will work with a certified personal trainer through 16 vigorous team workouts. With weigh-ins and basic nutrition guidance from your trainer, you will be sure to stay on track!

You asked – we delivered! Participants will sign up for their designated trainers’ time and days but will be competing as individuals once again. Once participants have selected their trainers’ time and days, and all weigh-ins have been completed, the program will be separated into two different teams consisting of a Purple Team and a Grey Team. Both teams will compete against each other, for a prize which will be determined by the greatest percentage of weight loss at the end of the eight weeks.

Wellness 180° Testimonial: “My name is Mark Anderson. I am presently enjoying my third consecutive 8 week session of Wellness 180. In conjunction with this program and an adjustment to my diet (Thanks to my wife Patty) I have gone from 265 lbs. to 215 lbs. I have improved my overall strength and stamina and have been taken off the high blood pressure medication which I’ve been on for too many years. The class size is very small with the corresponding greater personal attention being given by our instructor. As with every endeavor, you get out what you put in and this is no different. I have found the return I’ve received in my overall health well worth the investment in time and effort I’ve made. I look forward to continuing with this program as the results I’ve experienced are well worth the time I’ve put in.”

Trainer Tips on How to Stay Healthy this Holiday Season by Amy Kessler, ACSM Certified Personal Trainer• Keep exercising - Even with all the

commitments you may have, don’t blow off your routine. Try scheduling exercise in your calendar just like any other commitment that you have that day to help keep you on track.

• Check out a new group exercise class. We offer early morning and evening classes that might fit into your busy schedule.

• Using a tracking app will help you log calories and your activity level. Tracking your calories will help you make better choices.

• Enjoy this time with family and friends! Have a gathering involving an activity, not food. For example, meet for a walk instead of for lunch or a glass of wine. And don’t forget about your four-legged friend! Take your dog for extra walks during this time to help burn a few more calories in your day.

• Party smarter, not harder. When going to a party eat a light, healthy snack before you arrive. Sometimes we have no idea what calories are in certain food item if we haven’t prepared it.

• Limit alcohol at parties. Start with a sparkling water or still water when you first arrive. Drinking water will help hydrate you and keep calorie consumption down.

• Avoid baked goods exchanges. You don’t need all the extra sweets in your house. If it’s a tradition to bake delicious treats, try to limit the amount that you bake. You can also give away your treats to friends, freeze them or put them in containers to help limit temptation.

Pilates With the holiday’s right around the corner, share the gift of Pilates with family and friends! Look for our Pilates gift card promotion coming in December. It makes a great holiday gift or stocking stuffer for a family member, friend or even for you!For more information on Pilates, please contact Deb Valenti at 847-535-7117 or e-mail [email protected].
