Monday is for... A. Chest Day B. Back Day C. Leg Day

While not producing miles of smiles, (see non-member pictured:-( the dead hang has often been described as a great indicator of overall fitness! Grip strength is what it’s all about. All articles on the dead hang tell us to check with our doctor or trainer before attempting so I’m not leaving that out here. A fit male should do 2 minutes. A fit female should do 90 seconds! Give it a shot and post your time on the entryway blackboard! One of the ladies is currently leading all “hangers” at 2:52!! Remember to check with your doc or trainer before attempting!!😀💪 Go get ‘em!!

What a great day to get a workout in – it's National Exercise Day! We want to know, what will you be working on in the gym today?

Time marches on! A ceremonial end of season dinner for some of the morning crew was held at Rusty’s near Colonial and I75 on Wednesday evening. Organized by Event Planner and Mayor in the Morning, Lisa Groff. Attendees pictured right to left are: Mike, Karen, Sal, Steve, Terry, Lisa, Jim, Kelly and Russ! Calorie intake far exceeded calorie burn on this get-together! A good time was had by all.

We might catch a cast member or two from our local live theaters working out at the gym, but catching an entire cast is extremely rare! But that’s what happened here! Kathleen was going through an eye-popping routine of jumps, lifts, twists and turns, but graciously rolled-with the interruption. David is from NY, and starred in the TV series, “Boardwalk Empire”! Kathleen is from Australia, formerly a lawyer, but now travels the world acting and is a member of The Actors Studio in NY! These two are super friendly and carry the entire play, “Venus in Fur” playing at the Florida Rep Theater now through May 18!! Impressive workouts Guys!!

A little food for thought 🧠🥗

Marva trained with our own Master Trainer Robert 30 years ago! She still hears his specific guidance rolling through her thoughts during her workouts to this day! Marva is a physical therapist, now focusing largely on staying fit! Great work Marva!!💪💪

The right nutritional balance can fuel you up and power your day. Some people prefer a structured plan, whereas others follow their intuition.

What's your style? Structured, intuitive, or a mix of both?

Feeling like you hit a wall during the day? You don't need another coffee; you need more movement throughout your day! Don't worry, we've got some great ideas for you to try. Not only will you feel more energized, your mood and sleep will benefit, too. Which are you trying this week? ⤵️

Did you know sleep affects muscle growth?

While you're snoozing, your body is repairing your muscle tissue which leads to more gains. If you're sore from your workout, snag some quality rest and your muscles will thank you!

Chanell is focused on the Stage!!
On top of overseeing 4 kids, 2 grandkids and being a top rated lawyer, Chanell started her journey to the stage for a bikini competition over a year ago! The competition is being held in Miami on May 24th! I’m by no means a judge of things like this, but I do see victory written all over that confident smile and attitude! 40 minutes on that stair stepper on top of everything else should do it!! Great goal and awesome work Chanell!!💪💪

Sure, AI can build a pretty cool action figure.

But can it hand you a foam roller while reminding you to breathe through your last set? Didn't think so 😉. Our real Coaches make the difference—and they're always in your corner.

Next stop, Broadway! 🚀
Taylor plays “The Blue Girl”, kind of the sassy one, in “Shout”, now playing at the Florida Rep Theater here in Ft. Myers. Born in St. Petersburg, Fl, she graduated from Texas State University in Musical Theater! Her next stop is New York for her role in South Pacific. Great workout Taylor and knock ‘em dead in New York!!💪

Strength isn’t just built with weights. It's built with support. A Coach helps you stay accountable, work smarter, and achieve what once felt out of reach. Every rep counts, but don't worry, your Coach will tell you when you're done. 😉

What makes a training program successful?

It incorporates recovery!

What's your recovery go-to?

True strength comes from more than lifting weights.

It's how you train.
It's how you fuel.
It's how you recover.

Which of these makes you feel the strongest?

Whether you're nailing your warm-ups and cooldowns or taking mindful active recovery days, your body will thank you for incorporating recovery techniques into your routine. Better recovery = better results.
👍 Like if you agree!

Sticking to your macros? A personalized plan is the way to go. Science says so.

Which of these stats is most surprising?

One of the biggest factors in your results can be how long you stick to your routine. Stick to it even longer with a plan built for you. Find yours in the AF App!

Recovery = part of the process. 💪 Foam rolling, stretching, massage, walking—what's your go-to? Share in the comments.
