The drive was a huge success: 36 bikes were donated in Doylestown on Saturday, and believe it or not, 36 were donated in New Hope on Sunday for a total of 72 bikes.

Healthy Eating Tips

The fall season is always bittersweet: the warm weather and vacations are fading into memories, but the crisp, cool air and thought of the holiday season help keep us smiling. We have about 8 weeks to get back to the gym, get into our routine, and feel good about shedding those couple of “BBQ” pounds until… BAM! – the holidays are upon us.
A Stress-Free Holiday Season
posted on November 14th, 2012The holiday season is a time of giving, family reunions, re-connecting with old friends, baking, shopping, and of course, celebrating; it’s no surprise, then, that “me” time usually doesn’t make the schedule. However, failing to take time for yourself can lead to a stressful holiday season for yourself and, ultimately, those around you. The American Psychological Association reports that up to 69% of people are stressed by the feeling of having a “lack of time”, 69% are stressed by perceiving a “lack of money”, and 51% feel stressed out over the “pressure to give or get gifts”.
Fitness Gets Personal
posted on November 14th, 2012Personal training is a popular offering in many gyms, and it’s where members can often obtain the best results for their specific goals. Not only do participants get more personalized attention, they also have their own cheering section. “You develop a relationship with that trainer, and the accountability goes both ways,” said Whitney Proud, marketing director at The Cornerstone Clubs in Furlong, Pa. Sessions can be tailored to fit not only the client’s goals, but also their energy level on that particular day, as well as any sore spots or areas of concern.

Training for Peak Performance…
Performance in a Spinning® class is about combining training and trust to achieve your goals. Your students should feel as challenged physically as they are engaged emotionally and mentally in the class experience. Therefore, I have found a unique way to teach a Spinning class called “Train-to-Trust.” I differentiate between a “training mindset” and a “trusting mindset” within the class and I take the class through an imaginary criterium.
