Active Lifestyles Fitness Studio

Life’s journey is one of thrills, chills and spills. Milestones describe the footprints of accomplishment that create legacies.

Meet Dottie. She has added to her legacy by earning the moniker of “ Century Girl”. This achievement is recognized for women over 60 yrs. who have benched press 100lbs for one repetition. She’s has now claimed her position among only a few here at Active Lifestyles Fitness Studio, dare i say, the world!
A true milestone. 🏅🏋️‍♂️

Meet Susan

She’s our own “Clark Kent” — unassuming, sweet, kind, friendly. But her alter-identity is a super woman!
At the studio, she’s earned the title of a Century Girl; which means she can bench press at least 100 lbs!!
If that isn’t impressive enough, I’ll mention that Susan is at least 60 years old. I know… hard to believe. There are more of her at the studio —and the number is growing. Remember, it’s never too late!

Meet Nancy

This recognition is long overdue. You see, Nancy is Century Girl!
Dont let that congenial smile fool you, thats the look of hard work and determination from someone who just lifted 100lbs on the bench press. Despite being in her 6th decade, this accomplishment could challenge ladies half her age. For icing on the cake, she actually bumped it to 105lbs! ….Oh, that’s her posse in the background.
Congrats Nancy!!

Active Lifestyles Fitness would like to introduce our newest “Century Girl”, Jennifer.
To claim that title, a woman, at least 55 yrs and older, must be able to bench press 100lbs ( free motion) .
Jennifer accomplished that feat a couple of weeks ago. She joins a small group at the studio that have reached that goal.

Btw, although you would never be able to tell, she could have easily been dancing the Mashed Potato as a young teenager in the 60s . So, she might a few years beyond that 55 yr old threshold. But, gettin younger all the time!

Remember, it’s NEVER too late!

Are you a massage therapist looking for some new digs? I have a room at the studio ready to rent for the right person. Call for details and showing.

Each New Year brings with it a sense of both review and revitalization —a chance to correct course from life’s seemingly rudderless direction.

A friend of mine by offered a comic declaration of her upcoming changes for the new year. Her new voicemail greeting would leave no second guessing of her perspective:

“Hi , you have reached Jane,s voicemail. Sorry I can’t get to the phone right now.
I ve made some recent changes in my life ; and if I don’t get back to you—you’re one of the changes.” Ouch!

Changes can be hard. They’re counterintuitive . Nowhere is that more evident than in the fitness industry. We train ourselves to do the things we do or..don’t do.

So if you’re trying to restart or renew your fitness program this new year , check out my blog “Off Your Rocker”, and the latest post, “Get Your Head Together.”
It offers a few things to consider in starting a training program or renewing one.

Hi all,
For those who are old enough to remember, back in the day 4th of July fireworks consisted of sparklers, who remembers cracker balls,? and snakes — to name a few. Snakes were these little condensed capsules that when you lit them on the sidewalk, they gushed stuff that looked like a mini volcano. Kinda of amusing. I know, lame by modern day standards.

Well, tomorrow our certified walking instructor, Laura , will be leading a July 4 walk/ hike at 6 30 am . It starts at Active Lifestyles Studio, downtown Vacaville at the Opera house. No expertise required. And just maybe along the walk , you might see a snake! Just kidding....
Besides Laura carries these walking sticks so you’re in safe hands .
Happy 4 th everyone!

Hi all,
In was 20 years ago today, July 1, 1999, that I opened ActiveLifestyles Fitness Studio in downtown Vacaville. Its difficult to fathom how time has the tendency to overshadow memories. I’m fighting to not let that happen.

I’m trying to think about things that I’ve done voluntarily , continuously for 20 years. Well, I’ve been married for exactly that long— albeit it took 3 wives to accomplish it. Does that count? I’ve been a dad for longer than that. I guess once that starts tho, it’s hard to stop the ball rollin on that. Of course there are other circumstances in life that require both longevity and consistency, but our vocation takes a prominent position in defining who we are as individuals. If I’ve accomplished nothing in my career, I was determined to chose a profession that was my hobby. In that regard I’ve been successful and mutually fulfilled.
By far, a satisfying aspect of my job is seemingly making a difference in my clients health and well-being. What I didn’t anticipate was the far greater reward of building lasting friendships that inherently go with the territory. The best thing is that as long as I chose to have at it, the blessings continue to add on. How cool is that?
So, for the time being , I’ll continue to carry on and selfishly accumulate memories from you all — past, present and future— without the extra nuptials 🤪

Thank you all for a memorable 20 years!!
Mike
