Grand Rapids Weekend Workout Schedule

 

 saturday

9:15am & 10am Total Body Fat Slashing!

This week only the 9:15am GS class will be combined with the open Fitness class.  Lots of fun for EVERYONE!! 

 

 

GS Strength/Conditioning Class Rocks on...

Sorry Gireviks!!   The shake weight and cardio kickboxing classes will almost "Never" get you to your long term goals....  They are a very creative marketing tool designed to play to the busy individual to convince you that you CAN get a workout in as little as 10 minutes per day that will shape your body into the sculpted machine you've always dreamed of.  All for the low price of $$$.  And beware the myths that you should do more cardio, drink Slim Fast, eat Fiber Bars and the fat will literally melt off your body.  Oh, if it were only that easy!!!  ... EVERYONE would be on that program!!  LOL

Get REAL conditioning with REAL Workouts!!! 

Saturdays at 9:15am

(Same fee as General Fitness classes.... 1 key tag)

**Then see Liberty to inquire about the Sports Nutrition Program for Life and Athletes...  It's a win, win combination!! 

 

Grand Rapids Only...

The Friday 5:30pm Core Class will be back the week after Labor Day!! 

 

 

The VIP Diet Center   ....  What's holding you together? 

Is your body a Chain Link Fence or made of rickety, bulging wooden slats?? 

Your cells, spine and muscles are only as strong as the glue and building materials you feed them.  If your diet focuses mainly on grains and processed foods (Anything that comes in a box, package or has a label) then you can expect to have more than your fair share of broken boards, missing nails, peeling paint and not looking your best.  In other words... a rickety old fence that groans in the wind!!  However, if you learn how to morph into targeted portion sizes for your goals and more natural foods (just like you'd find them from the earth) then you're going to be one tight chain link fence!! 

Learn how to morph your fence into a shiny coat of armor!! 

The VIP program is never about denial... it's about reality.  Liberty will help you transition at a pace that is realistic and educational, so that it's not just for 12 weeks...  it's a progression for Life.

Planking Challenge:

Pam Garland is shown Planking atop this Huge

piece of equipment.  I wonder how she got up there!! 

 

Ever heard of Planking? 

It's different than the traditional planks that we hold for time.  This craze is unique in that you send in pics of yourself doing planks in some of the CRAZIEST places!!  With that said...  don't go too overboard as it CAN BE unsafe and people have actually been severely injured by falling off ledges, etc so....  if you want to play the game. 

BE SMART!!.... but send in some fun pics and at the end of September we'll pick a winner of the MOST UNUSUAL Plank out there to win a
FREE 1 month Membership to Kettlebells!!

*Winner will be chosen by a panel of your certified Kettlebell Instructors.

**Both GR & BR Gireviks are eligible so submit as many pics as you like!
