A message from the Greco/SNI Health Team

Last Saturday, I participated in a Lean & Fit class where as I entered the training area I noticed some balloons.  Never thinking that the balloons could possibly be part of the workout I assumed that it was someone’s birthday – well not exactly.  I just wanted to say that after 8 years of being a member at Greco’s, there is never a dull moment.  The balloons were part of the workout, kudos to Paolo for his ever imaginative style of training.  Over the past 8 years, I can remember walking into classes where there were simply a few cones set up around the room, where each station involved an exercise with a cone - jumping over it, push ups with alternating the cone from one hand to the next, and thinking how different the workout was.  I can remember classes where there is nothing set up and thinking that the instructor must of forgot to set up the class, only to find out that the challenge was my own body weight throughout the workout and realizing how unbelievably challenging it was; Classes that take you outside, running up hills, exercises on tractor tires and parking lot exercises where you never look at the lines in a parking lot quite the same way again….and just when I thought I had experienced it all, I was fortunate enough to be part of a fantastic workout that required me to carry around a balloon for an hour, while working through all the stations and the finisher – a workout that required using both my mind and body.  Ingenious!  These are the type of workouts that get featured in magazines like Oxygen, Women’s Health and Men’s Health.  They are the type of workouts that are featured on shows like Jackie Warner’s “Workout” and Oprah Winfrey.  As I think about these challenging workouts I realize how fortunate I am to be part of this leading edge style of training. 

Thank you Greco’s for always keeping the workouts interesting, innovative and more importantly challenging!
