Haha, I have to agree with Eljah. I don’t think Einstein invented the wedgie.

To Jessica R – I work out at GroupFit and I was terrified to start. At 40+ pounds overweight and in my (early) 40’s, I just didn’t think I could deal with the pressure of a gym atmosphere. But the “Cuban Assassin” and his wonderful wife, Gina, baby-stepped me in the front door and I’ve never looked back (admittedly, I have gotten lazy a few times and slacked off, but they are always encouraging me back into my routine). I have lost 20 pounds and I’m actually looking forward to the work ahead to lose the other 20. The classes are fun and the trainers are awesome at meeting you where you are and working with you. Every class is designed for beginner, intermediate and advanced…even boot circuit, but Shawn is right…probably not the place to start out! Rick and Gina are just bursting with knowledge and happy to share it! They WANT you to succeed. I promise you GroupFit is like no other gym you’ve ever been too! Take Shawn’s offer and try it out…you will feel like you are home!

Yes, the same place, but I puked in the Boot Circuit class – not a class I’d recommend for people who can’t run to their gate at the airport. That was my mistake. If I had it to do over again, I’d start with something like cycling instead.

I live in Spring Hill and I looked at the GroupFit website and it all looks great. The TRX stuff looks super cool and like something I would totally dig once I stopped falling on my head. Um, here’s the thing though, I’m scared. Isn’t this the place you go to get punished by the assassin or whatever it is you call him? I have a pretty strong aversion to puking. I have an even stronger aversion to dying.

I wish I lived closer! (I’m about 45 minutes away and that’s too far for a single mom that works full time.) That sounds way better than the gym here that is so full of guys without necks that I finally gave up and decided to try and exercise at home. I got tired of moving 50 pound weights off of machines so I could use them. (The machines, not the weights.)

Oh and Zoomba is fun. You should try it.

My guess is that the guys who invented the atomic bomb were the guys getting the wedgies and towel whips in school. That’s why they invented the bomb.

Do you know if anybody at GroupFit would know of anything similar in Colorado Springs? That sounds wonderful.

What a great offer. Thanks for caring for those in your community.

I think this is such a great reminder that it’s not just overweight people who can be unhealthy but skinny people can be unhealthy and out of shape, too. (No offense!) I wish I lived in your area, but sadly, I don’t think I can make the 2+ hour drive from Jackson. Which is fine since I already exercise anyway, but that’s a pretty awesome offer. I hope some people take you up on it.

I’ve been in the same boat as you fitness wise until this summer. I’ve made a new group of friends who are knowledgeable and very encouraging. It’s wonderful!

I’m on the injured list at the moment thanks to my shoulder, and it is killing me. That fact alone says a lot about this group since I used to appreciate that kind of excuse.

I’ve lost 20 pound of pure fat in the last six months. Gaining muscle more slowly, but it is coming. Very exicting.
