BODY TRAINING SYSTEM WINTER LAUNCH

Francie's Feature: Let’s Move in 2012!

WOW what a Saturday Launch this past weekend!  Those that were able to participate I hope you enjoyed the launch classes!  Starting the morning off was a heart pumping, body grooving, hair whipping Group Groove class with Vannessa and me, then to Group Kick – look out for that Samurai Sword Fight!  Band aids will be provided! Actually the only thing the kickers were bleeding was sweat – great class by Sophia and Ericka.

Next up was the premier of the new program Group Core. Ed and Lora – fantabulous job – took a room full of athletes on a 30 minute Hard Core workout.  Sure to be a favorite this winter.  Then the day ended with an OMG “Ouch My Glutes” workout in Group Step.  That was a challenging class not only for the heart but the legs and glutes too, not to mention the awesome energy of Brantley and Keri.
