Dear fellow runners:

This year The Training Studio, as part of our miniMarathon program, is partnering with Fred’s Team to support the Frederick Law Olmsted Parks.

I am encouraging miniMarathon runners with The Training Studio to sign up for Fred’s Team. I know most of you have spent time in these beautiful parks walking, running, cycling, pushing your children on a swings, having a family picnic, or simply driving through the scenic landscapes.  These urban parks are our original health clubs, home to many sports fields and facilities, and play a vital role in protecting the health of our citizens and community. By signing up you will agree to help raise funds to take care of our parks, including projects like restoring trails, planting thousands of trees, building playgrounds, removing invasive vines, restoring park structures. This wonderful system of parks is one of the best things about living in Louisville.

If you raise $625.00 the fee you paid to participate in The Training Studio miniMarathon program will be reimbursed to you. Each member of Fred’s Team will have their own webpage to help with fundraising. I promise, raising funds is much easier than running 13.1 miles. Olmsted Parks Conservancy will help provide you with all the help you need to reach your goal. In addition, Heine Brothers Coffee and Vint Coffee will match all donations made to Fred’s Team dollar for dollar (up to $5000.00).

Support the parks you love! Go the extra mile! Join Fred’s Team today!

Sign up for Fred’s Team here.

The Bataan Memorial Death March is a challenging march through the high desert terrain of White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, conducted in honor of the heroic service members who defended the Philippine Islands during World War II, sacrificing their freedom, health and, in many cases, their very lives.

Check out these great pictures.

“Dale & Stacy…thought I would let you know…
Maggie King & I backpacked the John Muir Trail in Aug & Sept. It took us 27 days to complete about 200 miles from Yosemite Valley (4500 ft) to Mt. Whitney (14,400 ft – highest mountain in lower 48). It was difficult, but exhilarating! I had already hiked 185 miles on the C&O Canal. We wanted you to know that The Training Studio truly is multisport since our training with you in the spring was the basis for us to be able to hike long distance.”

Re: Medical tests

We have thoroughly tested the above patient’s heart and blood sugar and have found the following:

1. Patient’s heart is healthy, though sensitive

2. Patient’s blood sugar is normal under most conditions

WE RECOMMEND AND STRONGLY URGE THE FOLLOWING:

1. If patient breaks a sweat during exercise she must discontinue activity immediately and be fanned by the trainer (AKA Dale)

2. If patient moans or complains during exercise, the patient and trainer must change places for the duration of the class.  At that time, all other class participants will be excused for the rest of class.  Together, with patient, they will decide what exercises trainer must do for the remaining class time.

3. If anything unkind or disparaging is said to patient by trainer, he will have to go to time out for 15 minutes or patient will be allowed to ride his Harley for the rest of the day.

FOR THE GOOD OF JEANNE XXXXX WE STRONGLY ADVISE THAT THESE SUGGESTIONS BE FOLLOWED VERY CLOSELY.

The cost associated with our Indoor Cycling program is a flat rate for the entire 4 months (pro-rated amounts are available on a monthly basis).

Members = $150 (WOW, are you kidding me, that’s only $3.13/hour!)  Non-members = $200

Walk-ins are also welcome for a nominal fee: $10/members & $15/non-members

By the way, indoor spinning at The Training Studio is not the same as the traditional spin class at the local health club.  Our spin sessions require that each participant bring his or her bike and an indoor trainer.  We also offer complimentary trainer storage for those that pay for the entire four month program.

Space is limited to the first 20 people.  Register now to secure a spot!

The yoga we plan to offer is a combination of vinyasa and yin infused in to one class to provide strength and stretching together.  Participants are asked to bring their own mats and/or blocks (if needed)

By the way, indoor spinning at The Training Studio is not the same as the traditional spin class at the local health club.  Our spin sessions require that each participant bring his or her bike and an indoor trainer.  We also offer complimentary trainer storage for those that pay for the entire four month program.  Typically, the one hour sessions during the week are higher intensity while the longer two hour weekend sessions are more aerobic in nature.

Don’t lose that competitive edge this winter, come train inside with The Training Studio.
