Next FIRM F.I.T. starts March 24th

You are officially out of excuses--not that your excuses were all that convincing to begin with. I seem to remember you saying you were too busy to do Firm FIT over the holidays, and too broke to do it just after the holidays. Well, now you’ve paid up those credit cards and things aren’t so hectic. Besides, any minute now you’ll be griping that you’re too busy because it’s summer. So I suggest you give Neil a call before you change your chubby little mind.

New Gym Equipment Coming Soon

We’ve all had the thrill of new workout shoes; with their super-springy soles you swear you could leap buildings. And who among us hasn’t enjoyed the preternatural thrill of a fledgling romance? Or the delicious stiffness of a brand-new book? Or the virginal whiteness of an unsullied notepad? But have you ever worked out on new gym equipment? No, neither have I.

All of the weight machines in the upstairs gym will be replaced with brand-new ones from Cybex, FreeMotion, Matrix.

Hurry in and use everything before it loses that new weight machine smell.

Kali Ofsteghage, Schmali Schmofsteghage

Please welcome Kali Ofsteghage to the Firm’s front desk. Kali sounds so frigging’ wholesome when you find out that she’s from Christmas Lake, Minnesota (awwww...) and she went to Gustavus Adulphus (gee...) and she majored in Health and Fitness and minored in coaching (swell… ). She loves to spend time with her family, travel, play tennis and water ski (cuuuute…) she previously worked in corporate fitness (um, okay… ) and is single and on the prowl (wha…?). Okay, so on paper, she’s a kitten. In reality though, she’s as badass as the rest of the Firm crew.

Oh yes, I think she’ll fit in just fine.

Minnesota Brides Magazine Spring and Summer 2007 Issue

It appears that Minnesota brides are as hard core as the rest of us. A recent article features some riveting quotes by Doug and Neil, and sweet Brooke Jordan, one of our clients also gave us mad props.

If you are getting married, you need THE FIRM, if you aren't getting married and you're worried that you never will - you really need THE FIRM. Married people, stop in and laugh at the rest of us…

Coming Soon to the Velodrome

Oh, the paces we put our instructors through before we let them teach a class! By the time our instructors appear before you, they are eating, sleeping, and breathing spin. Their music is on constant repeat in their heads. They visualize jumps while they wait at traffic lights and sprints when they are brushing their teeth. Their lives become a million little parcels of eight-counts. They are practicing eye-contact and big smiles in the mirror, making between-song patter in their heads.

Our latest victims: Aric Hareland and Laura Robertson.

You already know Aric from the front desk and yoga: his breathtaking good looks have some scouts worrying that he’s “all pretty-up, no giddyap.” But he will prove that they are all merely jealous of his wide range of talents.

Laura Robertson is also one of the rising stars from the Firm’s front-desk. I am unable to vouch for her spinning abilities, but I’ve seen her bowl, and she’s a real go-to kid. She sets them up and knocks them down (figuratively and literally, respectively). The industry is expecting great things from these two…

Doug’s Package: Going once… Going twice…
 
The giant DIFFA party is coming up. Watch for our Doug (with his Denny) in the current issue of Lavender Magazine, and buy your tickets to the late night extravaganza at the front desk of The Firm.

The Firm has donated one eight-week series of Firm FIT and a private cardio striptease class with Doug, which has everyone cracking jokes about how much Doug’s package will go for.

Ted Peterson, Firm Website are rad

Just when you think Ted Peterson can’t get any better, he offers to write and record original music for the Flash movie on the Firm’s home page and it happens to capture the Firm’s essence perfectly. I guess I could have said, “Just when you think the Firm’s website can’t get any better, Ted comes along and, well, makes it better.” Like, way better.
