SPRING TRAINING IN 12. . .this 12-week program starts on Sunday, February 19 and ends on Saturday, May 12. THIS IS FOR ALL AGES AND FITNESS LEVELS! Registration begins on Sunday, February 5.
This program will help you get your body in shape just in time for the
warmer months ahead. Even more importantly, you will feel better and
be healthier overall. Who doesn't want that?
Did you set a New Year's resolution to exercise more and/or lose weight? Maybe you've already started that goal, or maybe you've procrastinated starting it. Let SPRING TRAINING IN 12 help you stay motivated to reach your health and fitness goals. At The Studio Fitness™, we're here to help you!
The rules are simple: participate in 3 cardio and 2 strength training classes per week. The instructor will sign your individual program passport to verify the class/day you attended. Receive all 60 signatures (12 weeks x 5 classes per week) and receive the First Base / Base Hit reward. (All of the details can be found in the Spring Training in 12 Program Manual.) And yes, our famous Double Hitter (Signature) classes will be offered throughout the program.
Do you have a weight loss goal in mind? If so, you may sign up for the optional Second Base / Home Run reward. The person who successfully completes the program by reaching First Base AND loses the most weight (pounds) will win another reward! (Again, all the details can be found in the Spring Training in 12 Program Manual.) Weigh-ins are required to win the Second Base reward.
Perhaps you're trying to set a personal best in your exercise routine - or you're trying to reach those New Year's resolutions quickly. If so, you may sign up for the optional Third Base / Grand Slam reward. This reward is strictly based on the most classes participated in, and a separate Tally Sheet will be kept at the front desk for this purpose. (Please read the details in the Spring Training in 12 Program Manual.) And sorry, folks...those Double Hitter (Signature) classes will only count as ONE on the Tally Sheet (you will still receive credit for two in your Program Passport).
In summary, everyone who completes the program by receiving all 60 signatures reaches First Base and is a winner! You decide if you want to stop there or if you're trying to reach another base. The ball is in your hands. :)

TOP 10 FITNESS TRENDS FOR 2012
ACSM experts
examine what's hot, and what's not, in the health-and-fitness industry.
The American
College of Sports Medicine is the largest sports medicine and exercise
science organization in the world. More than 45,000 international, national
and regional members and certified professionals are dedicated to advancing
and integrating scientific research to provide educational and practical
applications of exercise science and sports medicine.
The survey,
now in its sixth year, was completed by 2,620 health and fitness
professionals worldwide (many certified by ACSM) and was designed to reveal
trends in various fitness environments. Thirty-seven potential trends were
given as choices, and the top 20 were ranked and published by ACSM.
Following are the Top 10:
1.
Educated and experienced fitness professionals. Given the
large number of organizations offering health and fitness certifications,
it's important that consumers choose professionals certified through
programs that are accredited by the National Commission for Certifying
Agencies (NCCA), such as those offered by ACSM.
2. Strength training. Strength training remains a central emphasis for many health clubs. Incorporating strength training is an essential part of a complete physical activity program for all physical activity levels and genders.
3.
Fitness programs for older adults. As the baby boom
generation ages into retirement, some of these people have more
discretionary money than their younger counterparts. Therefore, many health
and fitness professionals are taking the time to create age-appropriate
fitness programs to keep older adults healthy and active.
4.
Exercise and weight loss. In addition to nutrition, exercise
is a key component of a proper weight loss program. Health and fitness
professionals who provide weight loss programs are increasingly
incorporating regular exercise and caloric restriction for better weight
control in their clients.
5.
Children and obesity. With childhood obesity growing
at an alarming rate, health and fitness professionals see the epidemic as an
opportunity to create programs tailored to overweight and obese children.
Solving the problem of childhood obesity will have an impact on the health
care industry today and for years to come.
6. Personal training. More and
more students are majoring in kinesiology, which indicates that students are
preparing themselves for careers in allied health fields such as personal
training. Education, training and proper credentialing for personal trainers
have become increasingly important to the health and fitness facilities that
employ them.
7.
Core training. Distinct from strength training, core
training specifically emphasizes conditioning of the middle-body muscles,
including the pelvis, lower back, hips and abdomen - all of which provide
needed support for the spine.
8.
Group personal training. In challenging economic times, many
personal trainers are offering group training options. Training two or three
people at once makes economic sense for both the trainer and the clients.
9.
Zumba and other dance workouts. A workout that requires
energy and enthusiasm, Zumba combines Latin rhythms with interval-type
exercise and resistance training.
10.
Functional fitness. This
is a trend toward using strength training to improve balance and ease of
daily living. Functional fitness and special fitness programs for older
adults are closely related.
J

and I are announcing our retirement as Zumba®
Education Specialists (ZES) for Zumba® Fitness effective immediately.
This decision allows us to focus more on our family and The Studio
Fitness™ business.
We truly appreciate the years we have spent training
thousands of Zumba™ instructors and cherish the friendships and memories made
throughout that time. We realize how lucky we were and grateful that we were
able to touch the lives of thousands of people.
We have both grown professionally and
personally from these experiences.
This has been a very special time in our lives and was a wonderful
opportunity to help build Zumba®
Fitness in the early days of the company.
Our Studio has also evolved and grown over the past
five years, as we have continued to implement changes that better serve our
students, staff and instructors. Having more time to focus on our business
allows us to provide even more programs and events.
Our team is dedicated to providing the students who walk through the
Studio door a quality cardio and/or strength training workout.

Safety Issues
- Please bring only the MINIMUM necessary items into a class (water bottle, towel, keys) and place those items along the wall on the SIDES or FRONT of the Studio room. DO NOT PLACE ANY ITEMS ALONG THE BACK WALL.
- Make sure water bottles remain 'upright', and if they do fall over immediately set them back upright.
- If you see spilled water on the floor (from water bottles, shoes, etc.) please either notify a staff member immediately to clean it up or feel free to dry the area yourself.
- If your shoes are wet because of the weather, please bring a dry pair to change into. Wet shoes make for a very slippery wood floor!
Why Group Exercise?
One of the main reasons for people “quitting the gym” is lack of
support, motivation, and enjoyment. Without the knowledge from a personal
trainer, it is difficult to know what workouts to do, making it frustrating
and easy to give up and go home. Plus, it is hard to motivate yourself to
exercise to your fullest potential if you are alone. Here are some fantastic
benefits of attending group exercise classes:
- Support and Motivation: When you work out on your own, you are more likely to give up faster than when you are in a group exercise class. The instructor can provide the support you need to keep pushing on, and being in a class full of others gives you the accountability and motivation to stay.
- Fun: Going to a group exercise class is fun! Our Zumba classes have encouraging music to get you excited and motivated for the class. It is also the group fitness instructor’s purpose and duty to provide a calorie-burning workout for you that is enjoyable.
- Friends: Group exercise classes are a perfect place to meet friends. Other people in the same classes as you share the common interest of wanting to stay fit, plus if you meet someone in your class you can motivate each other to keep attending that class.
- Accountability: Probably the biggest advantage to group exercise classes is the accountability. If you decide not to attend classes, most likely your absence will be noticed. Your attendance to each class is pertinent to the performance of the team. Consistency is huge when starting an exercise program and for this reason, the benefit of the accountability of a group exercise class will increase your results substantially.
- Social benefits: Most people spend their early years socializing in groups. This includes games and fitness activities. In later years, most individuals are too busy to socialize regularly. Group exercise can mitigate this problem, by allowing scheduled group activity time. Group exercise has the added benefit of preventing boredom with exercise, by adding an element of camaraderie to the chosen activity.
For the third year in a row – The Studio Fitness (formerly Studio Zumba Fitness) has been voted "The Best Place to Burn Calories in Dayton 2011” on ActiveDayton.com! We thank everyone for their support and votes! It is an accomplishment to just be nominated for the poll, but to win this distinction THREE years in a row is a testament to not only our incredible staff, instructors and facility, but to the dedicated students who choose to make The Studio Fitness their favorite place to burn calories! Thank you!

Studio ZUMBA® Fitness in Vandalia, voted Best Fitness Center in Dayton 2009, will now be known as The Studio Fitness™. The simpler name better reflects the wide range of classes and services offered for all ages and fitness levels. And The Studio founders Doug and Joan Jones are quick to point out that nothing has been lost in the transition. “We’re still the region’s premier ZUMBA® facility,” Doug Jones says.
