A new concept of pain
I am working on a proposal to bring the gym I attend on as a sponsor of FatBloggers. In an effort to work up a little buzz on the internets, I wanted to share the new program that begins at the Roundup Athletic Club this week; Group Power.
Judging by what I am hearing from the trainers and staff at the RAC, Group Power is either the greatest thing since Jazzercise or something the Marquis de Sade would be proud of. The classes will have an Invitations Only set of classes on Thursday, then the rest of us will have a crack at it on Monday. Get this, there is a waiting list! I was checking on my position on said list this weekend, its not looking good. I may have to wait until the regular classes begin in mid-June.
The website says:
Group Power is your hour of Power! This 60-minute barbell program strengthens all your major muscles in an inspiring, motivating group environment with fantastic music and awesome instructors. With simple athletic movements such as squats, lunges, presses and curls. Group Power is for all ages and fitness levels. discover results, discover Group Power!
I’ll let you know how it goes whenever I actually get to take the class. But, if it gives me guns like the guy in the picture… I’m all for it!

Who knows… maybe we’ll run into each other, LOL!
I definitely want to try this, though at the same time, I’m not sure if my body can take it. But I figure one class will let me know. I know I can’t even get my arms in the position to hold a bar across my back!
I’m not on the opening class list… I’ll probably wander into a class later in the month.

Occasionally I see a lady who I think looks like you. I try to make eye contact, hoping there would me a mutual spark of recognition, but it hasn’t happened yet.
Make sure you say Hi when you see me. I have that clueless gene that most males have.

I have to admit, I’ve not been using RAC much for other than the pool lately, but I am usually there for the MWF water aerobics at noon. After that, I am sometimes found gulping down a quick bit of water and whey protein.
Mind you, I’m not always so good about recognizing faces, especially if my mind is absorbed on whatever, LOL! I will try to be on the lookout and say hi if I think I have spotted you. As my feet improve, I’d like to do a little walking there again. Weights I’ve been doing at home for the present, but may start to make use of the gym again at some point. I would like to try the Group Power, I’m just thinking that with my feet bugging me so much, now may not be the best time.
