DC Fitness

The sun is shining! One of many things to smile about.
I would like to take a minute to thank everyone for their support during the 24 years we have been blessed to offer what I feel is a vital service to the community in the building where myself and many of my friends purchased our crayons as kids. Who, among those, does not remember the famous Woodburys Gradepacks? I am quite certain my Mom wanted to whip me with the ruler inside on more than one occasion. :-)
Some of you have come along to support us even more during these challenging times for many individuals and small businesses. Thank you so much from my heart and soul. As I drove down Logan street this morning I saw many hearts in windows and many signs thanking the healthcare workers at OSF. Thanks to those showing support for all caregivers as we fight back against COVID 19.
During the last 24 years I have been blessed to help many achieve and maintain better health. During those years I have also been blesed to take care of the dues given to the business. The club is strong and will weather the storm. We are stronger together!! Due to the longer term of social distancing we will prorate dues from May 2020 to May 2021. April autodrafts went out yesterday. Since we are ordered to be closed for April we will divide the dues paid for April by 12 and reduce the next 12 payments by that amount.
If you have any questions or concerns about anything, please message me directly.
If you need some ideas for in home workouts, need any equipment, need delicious and immune system boosting meals or supplements delivered to your home, please let me know. We can loan out a few pieces and order equipment at our club discount.
Thank you very much!!

Hey you all. Personal Trainer, Sydne Bryant here 👋

These trying times of covid-19 have all of us feeling anxious, uneasy, & overwhelmed. However, don’t let that distract you from your fitness goals. If any of you have questions about how to incorporate exercise at home or would like me to put together an at-home workout/workouts for you, I’d love to do so. I am even available to do sessions via FaceTime. Please shoot me a text message at 217-260-4841, id love to chat with you!! 😊

I have created a 60 day workout challenge, we are on day 11 but it’s still not too late to join. All you need is your body for this challenge. I’m asking a small fee of $5 for the entire 60 days to help keep you accountable. Who’s in??? 🙋🏼‍♀️

Stay tuned...... outdoor summer workouts are coming your way soon 🙏🏻

*KEEP THOSE LUNGS IN GOOD CONDITION*

Hope to see you all back to the grind @ DC soon.
Much love & stay safe 🦋

I will be heading out to Forest Glenn Saturday and Sunday morning to exercise in Mother Nature. I will have several kettlebells, some TRX straps, superbands, med balls, and exercise tubing. You are more than welcome to join me. Please let me know if you need a lift.

Lets literally stand up for our right to exercise!!

I sincerely appreciate everyone's support through all of this. If you need help exercising, please let me know. In home training is certainly an option. I have plenty of mobile equipment.

Follow the money.....

While fitness centers are not allowed to stay open the state is allowing ma*****na dispensaries to stay open.
I do believe that ma*****na does serve a small purpose in the medical arena. However, my belief in the benefits of purposeful movement far outweighs my belief in the benefit of sitting on one's glutes smoking a joint.

Come on Illinois!!!

If you would like to check out a Kettlebell, superband, or pair of rubber dumbbells to use at home during the quarantine, please let me know. I will give you a workout to perform at home with the equipment. Choose 1 or 2 pieces....you cannot take home 3 kettlebells, 2 sets of dumbbells, and a superband.
Sharing is caring.....hoarding is not. :-)

Blessings to all.

It is with deep regret that we are being told to close the club until the quarantine is lifted.
If you need any supplements, please text me at 260.3752 and I will be happy to meet you here.
For all food prep clients, I will have your meals ready in the morning or afternoon for you. If you need me to deliver them, please let me know.
As soon the quarantine is lifted, lets get back to maintaining great health.

My thoughts are with all those facing challenges during this time. While it is hard to always wake up and embrace challenges, trials, tough choices, and face adverse times head on one thing is certain. They will likely not go away if you do nothing. One thing I have found is to choose one thing and keep it very simple. Success builds on success. If you want to eat healthier choose to drink more water as a start and stick to just that. Or you can choose to eat a healthier breakfast and worry about lunch and dinner in a few weeks after you master breakfast. With regards to exercise during these times keep it simple as well. You can have a decent workout from home (a simple circuit twice a day). Below is a suggestion to keep moving and the positives flowing...enjoy!

Pushups (floor or off the kitchen counter) x 15
Bodyweight Squats x 15
Soupcan Reverse Flys x 15
Jumping Jacks or Jog in Place x 30 to 60 Seconds
Perform that circuit 5 times

Bodybuilding Exercise: Reverse Fly A fly is an exercise the trains the chest muscles, so a reverse fly is designed to train the upper back muscles, and it is typically more important to train ...

I ordered some Fourth and Heart GHEE (there are no local stores who stock it) from Amazon and it has taken a week. Understandably they are backed up. If you need any health bars, health drinks, vitamins, plant or whey based proteins, organic nuts, cacao nibs, or fiber we have it and can have any special orders in 2 days. WHOLESALE prices across the board.

Also, if you need any thing from Sams Club I am there 2 to 3 days per week and can pick anything up you need and bring it here.
