NOTES FROM DEREK

Dear Athletes,

Warm weather has arrived, but the Revolution is hot! We plan to keep up our outstanding programming all summer, and we’ve got great fitness opportunities planned for the fall.

We hope you’ve noticed our RevFit ads and fliers throughout Boston and the South End. We’re getting the word out about your favorite gym, and we’re working to make the Revolution even stronger.

My family has grown with the birth of twin sons, Ryker and Rowan, on April 26. And the Revolution is growing, too. Remember that Revolution Fitness has the equipment, classes, instructors, and trainers you need to keep yourself in shape for the beach this summer and to keep yourself healthy for life.

Life, liberty, and fitness for all!

NEW SUMMER GROUP EXERCISE SCHEDULE

Great new group classes added:
Kil’ Boxing: Kilbert Pierce, a personal trainer and former professional boxer who joined us from Body Evolver, will teach Kil’ Boxing on Mondays at noon. Try this great 60-minute lunchtime workout for both technique and agility. And you can ask Kilbert about the time he fought Mike Tyson!

Ultimate Fitness Fusion, Thursdays at 5:30 p.m., will challenge Heidi’s long-dedicated students and new class participants alike. Try this 90-minute workout for an outstanding combination of cardio sculpting and plyometric low-impact moves. The class includes a break at the 1-hour mark for transition to floor work that combines yoga and stretching.
Core & Stretch: Patty Cripe has long taught a fantastic stretch class on Monday evenings but, for the summer, we’re combining her weekend abdominal workout with a great deep stretch. Try this 45-minute class at 10:20 a.m. Saturdays for an excellent way to firm up the core and stretch out your muscles.
