04/21/09- I received a very nice testimonial today that I want to share:

“Eric is a little overweight and a very shy kid, We have signed him up to try different sports where he would give up without even attempting to learn the basics, Gym class was a struggle and he would rather watch TV or play video games than to do anything outside.

I want my son to be healthy and asked Jay if SpeedZone could help Eric loose weight, Jay agreed to work with him for a couple of days and “see what we could do” considering Eric is nine years old.

I struggled to get Eric into the gym the first day and by the end of the session he had a smile on his red and sweaty face and asked if he could come back.  

SpeedZone has exceeded our expectations, the workouts are challenging and fun, coaches explain what is expected and show the right techniques and then critique and encourage with patience and resolve. After a few weeks he was running a non-stop mile and has kept increasing speed and distance every week. His improvement is not limited to better physical condition; concentration has improved and homework takes less time and he is more engaged with schoolwork.  Eric is more physically active and spends more time running around outside and jumping in the trampoline. His self-confidence is also improving, a few days ago the gym class had to run two laps and he ran three. Now Eric can’t wait to go to SpeedZone, when it is time to go he turns off the TV and waits for me in the car!” 

 WOW- getting homework done faster, more active, waiting for Dad in the car!!! Those are some pretty real life results of our program other than the weight loss that everyone focuses on- we do that too, but how can you put a price on your kid coming out of his shell and accomplishing what Eric has accomplished. BTW he started at run/walking half a mile, now he’s up to 1.25 miles of all running!!!!

Will spring ever come? We are really ready to start hitting the great outdoors. Our spring summer training starts in May and runs through September. Some of our runners have already begun competing on in-door tracks.

The rest of us are getting ready for our 2009 cycling camp in Prairie du chien.

I visited Prairie Du Chien the other week and got some (miserable) long rides in. The weather was not in my favor, I did however find some new and very challenging routes to take the cyclist on.

We have a new class starting 04/11/09- Nutrition and Strength. $99.00 per month for a Saturday class plus a take home exercise program.

We visited the 95 Rock crew this morning to talk about the past workouts and about Haro’s marathon. I’ll post more on our conversation and upcoming training in just a bit.

ANYONE can get these results of you want them- we know how to make it happen for you but you have to take the first step in our front doors.
