OUR STUDIO CHALLENGER, SUE DUMOND, DID AN AMAZING JOB OVER THE PAST THREE MONTHS KEEPING UP WITH HER WORKOUTS! SHE TRIED ALL OF OUR DIFFERENT STUDIO FITNESS CLASSES AND KEPT HER DUET ON THURSDAYS WITH MARIANNA THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE CHALLENGE! WE ARE SO IMPRESSED BY SUE’S DETERMINATION, COMMITMENT AND WORK ETHIC AND LOVE SEEING THE RESULTS SHE’S RECEIVED FROM ALL HER HARD WORK. IT HAS DEFINITELY PAID OFF BY GIVING HER MORE DEFINITION, A STRONG CORE, A HIGHER LEVEL OF ENDURANCE AND MORE!

“I have officially completed my fitness challenge at Equilibrium.

Exercise and physical activity are vital for children and teens. Equilibrium offers a group class for 9-15 year olds where they can not only get an hour of fitness each week but they also learn proper form, strengthen their postural muscles and bond with others their age.

Our challenger, Sue, has been AMAZING! She has committed herself to working out at Equilibrium on a regular basis. She takes a variety of workouts throughout each week, including Xtend Barre, Total Body Conditioning, NYTimes Circuit and Pilates. We are so impressed with the way she has stepped up her fitness.

Congratulations to our fall challenger, Sue Dumond, for making it halfway through her 3 month challenge!
Sue has made an incredible commitment to her fitness and health as our fall challenger. She has attended classes consistently each week, challenging herself to try new classes, doing two a day workouts and even working out while away from the studio.

Tasha, our 3-month Summer Challenger, finished her challenge last week but has already been back for more classes! Tasha accomplished many goals over the summer: improving her flexibility, strengthening her core & arms, gaining endurance, and reducing pain from her scoliosis.

Our September workshops with Lead Instructor Trainer and professor of Physical Therapy, Kim Dunleavy, were full of Pilates instructors and trainees eager to learn new information to take to their clients.

We have more workshops coming up in October at our Satellite studio in Ann Arbor, MOVE Wellness.

Congratulations to our newest challenger, Sue!
We are so excited to read your first blog and to watch you get stronger over the next 3 months!
Read directly from Sue about how she feels about the challenge:

"First, I would like to introduce myself.

If this class time or day does not work for you, you are welcome to set up a private session for your teen to work one-on-one with an instructor, a duet where you can work together or a private group session for a group of teens to exercise together. 

One of our Senior Instructors, Heather, recently worked with the Flipspot Boys gymnastic team doing Athletic Conditioning.

Summer provides many opportunities for kids to be active such as swimming at the pool, long neighborhood bike rides and day camps full of games and fun. Back to school schedules make it more difficult to keep up with physical activity and health but it needs to be a priority for kids to stay healthy and alert throughout the school year.

Sisters, Jaclyn and Alyssa, participated in our Wedding Bootcamp package this summer and are keeping up the hard work for the next month until the big day!
 
Hear what they think of our package, which includes 3 months of unlimited studio fitness classes and one staff private:
Jaclyn, the Bride-to-be, told us, "I loved the bridal boot camp and the flexibility of the unlimited package.
