Oh look! There's a picture of my fitness club!
Not Mossimo's with the yummy pizza.
Look up!
Upstairs you'll find
Fonthill Fitness
where it is all about getting trim and healthy
so that
you
can eat that hot and spicy pizza and still
be hot and spicy yourself.
This is the spinning room,
That is me in the white t-shirt.
The instructor is Erin.
I love spinning,
but I have to tell you it is hard work.
HOWEVER
it is worth it
because I love to eat.
I would rather exercise and eat
than diet and starve.
It isn't just getting on a stationary bike and pedalling for 45 minutes.
We learn to do handstands on the handlebars
and often jump through flaming hoops from bike to bike.
Just kidding.
But the one thing we aren't is 'stationary'.
Here Erin is showing a gym member the proper handle bar position.
If spinning isn't your thing,
this is Charlene
one of the yoga instructors.
She is demonstrating a fantastic stretch.
I say fantastic because I was surprised at how good it felt when I tried it.
This is a man.
I'm pointing that out because this is my first 'mixed' fitness club.
I haven't been in a gym with guys since
Mrs. Zathmary made us do folk dances with the boys in grade ten.
It is actually fun to have them around.
And they don't laugh and point half as much as they did in grade ten.
If you are thinking 'weights', Fonthill Fitness has them too.
Speaking of men!
This is Rick and he is one of the spinning instructors.
I tell you they are everywhere at FF!
But this isn't just 'a' man,
this is Mike.
He owns Fonthill Fitness.
And
Mike agreed to offer:
a free one month FF membership for two people
(That's you and a friend, or
you and your hubby, or
you and your teen, etc.)
to
the reader of my blog
who wins the draw
which will be held on
Friday, May 13!

I wish I could enter, but it would be a hell of a commute if I won!
I suppose Edmonton IS a bit too far away, Debra. :)
