I love the idea of bringing a friend to workout. So for the month of February you can do just that!

February is 'Bring A Friend FREE' month at Core Essentials and I thought I would explain this a little better for everyone.

So here it is: You can bring the same friend once this month, but if you happen to be here 3-4 times per week, you can bring a different friend each time you come- how fun!

My husband thought I should send out something for Valentine's Day...

It's hard to believe that January is almost over, the month has flown by!

I am sending out a blog this month because we have a new newsletter software that is a wee bit more challenging than I thought it would be; so it's going to take some more tutorials before you see the new newsletters. I will send one out mid-February with the March listings. Now that I’ve given you a date, I am committed to learning the software before then!

I have had a wonderful few days off and am ready and energized to get back to classes and workshops.
With the Holidays nearing to an end and 2010 just around the corner we wanted to offer a special Boxing Week discount.

It's been another great week- very busy! Slowly but surely we are making the space our own. It was very easy to feel at home though in the space. We've had a little hiccup with getting the TRX Multimount Rack installed- the building is over 100 years old so walls are not really where they appear to be with studs and renovations and what not. So we've got a bit of work to do before we can put that in.

Today's kettlebell demo was jam packed. Kettlebell is insanely popular.
Thank you for all the great support at all the demo sessions.

Here is a great testimonial from a girl who tried out the RealRyders for the first time in New York City. She obviously blogs a great deal and is quite raw in some of her language.

Word on our RealRyders, they are currently being held in customs awaiting entry to the US so they can continue on to Dartmouth to the Core Essentials Studio. The room is ready and waiting! I'm hooking up the stereo system this week!

Oh, don't worry you won't need cycling shoes to ride but if you have them you are able to clip in as well.

This week we've had everything from Fit Mommies to Kickboxing to Kettlebell. It's been a busy week with new class offerings. The babies are loving the new space, well I think they are...it's warm and they are able to play with all their toys on the floor- no worries about eating leaves and dirt!

I think I may have neglected my own workouts a bit with moving in to the new space. Well, yesterday I had a super workout. I am still quite sore today- mainly upper body- traps and lats.

The workout started out with kettlebell cleans- 3 per side moving down in weight: 65lbs, 55lbs and 45lbs, followed by double cleans with 36 lbs. The 45lb and 36lb felt like feathers after the 65lb.

The first week in the new space has been phenomenal, I want to thank everyone for their support. Our regular schedule has been running as per usual and the free demo classes were a hit!

The feedback on the WaterRowers has been so wondeful, people love the sounds and feeling of the water and they row.
