Dear *|FNAME|*,
It was about a year ago this week that our vision started to become a reality and we set-up shop at 3000 Wayne Street in Endwell, shortly after, Positive LifeForce was born. We quickly settled in and got to work. It’s amazing that we’ve already moved into a new year. In this last week I’ve tried to step back and take a moment to reflect how far we have come in the past year, and the excitement that awaits us in the future. The challenge becomes, “how do we stay grounded in the present, with all of the awe of the past and anticipation of the future around us?” Last Saturday I started a 6 week Chakra Clearing Yoga Series, and in our first week we looked at our Root Chakra, which deals with staying grounded and in the present. The rest of the day consisted of a super fun and packed Kettle, Spin, and Suspend class, followed by our 1st Annual New Year Client Party. We had a blast with a made to order whole wheat pasta bar (thank you Scott), a photo booth (a hit with kids and adults alike), and our very own Kathy belting out the tunes with The Look band in our Prana Studio! And, let’s not forget our life-sized game of Jenga… Thank you everyone who came and enjoyed the evening. For those of you who couldn’t make it this year, there’s always next year…or maybe a clam-bake this summer???
As we settle into 2012, we have many new exciting programs and offerings starting up at Positive LifeForce. New Yoga classes; a 12 week “New Year, New You” Health Coaching Program; a new TRX/Kettlebell class; a Weight Loss Challenge; a Free Financial Fitness seminar, and MORE…but what I am most proud of is our first ever Fitness Makeover Program. For the last month we have been receiving nominations from all around our area, for one special person to receive a 12 week Fitness Makeover that will include Personal Training, nutritional coaching, and massage. We narrowed down over 50 nominations to 20, then 12, and eventually just 5 Finalists. Just yesterday we decided on our winner - so CONGRATS to Susan Rick who will be working out with us 4x/week in the studio for the next 12 weeks!
For those of you reading this that know our team…we couldn’t just pick one person to help, so all 12 semi-finalist will be receiving some services at PLF, and we expect you to see all 5 of our finalist in the studio every week for the next 12 weeks. Thank you to WBNG Channel 12 for their support and be sure to check out our Blog as our winner and morning News Ch. 12 Anchor, Cristina Frank experience all that Positive LifeForce has to offer on the www.wbng.com website. Here’s to health, happiness, and surrounding ourselves with GREAT people!
As Always,
Live, Laugh, be Fit!

SPECIAL CLASSES:
Kettle, Spin & Suspend 
Thursdays - 3:30pm Saturdays - 9:15am
Using a combination of Kettlebells, Spin Bikes & the TRX suspension trainer, this class provides an intense full body workout. Kettlebells provide a continuous cardio workout that improves muscular strength and coordination. Spinning delivers intense cardio and challenges the lower body. The TRX allows you to use your body weight to firm core areas and improve balance.
6 Week Chakra Clearing Yoga Series
Starting Jan. 28th 
$12 drop in
$45 for 4 remaining classes
A chakra is believed to be a center of activity on the body that receives, assimilates, and expresses life force energy. Ideally we function with all seven chakras open & balanced with each other. Opening a blocked chakra can have immensely positive benefits for your physical and mental health & that is exactly what this series of yoga classes aims to do. Each week we focus on a different chakra & we still have 5 of 7 chakras to attend to, so anyone is welcome to join this Saturday & reap the benefits of this class!
