Mid Winter Magpies Launch 2008
2nd Quarterly Launch – Sunday June 8 2008 9.00am – 12.00
Theme – “C’mon the Bay” – supporting our local community and the HB Magpies
What a fantastic day we had, right from start to finish – 3 hours of fun!!
At 9.00am we started our our multi Mega class with 45mins of the new RPM #39. Sue and George cranked it up in full view of our members in the main area of the gym and poured it on. Lots of smiles, little performances and heaps of sweat was the name of the game and fun & hard work was shared by all.
From there we entered the Group Fitness room and Jess got the ball rolling with 3 tracks from Pump #66. The music was great and the performances were even better.!! Brenda, Sarah and Sharon got their feet and everyone else’s tapping to 3 tracks of Step and partied to “Footloose” and “Vogue” – popular songs from the 80’s and 90’s. Jess turned up the heat for the 1st Combat track and showed us her smooth style in the 2nd. Next was BodyJam and man, Dwayne got everyone into the dance scene. I have never seen so many hips and booty’s shaking it! Lots of laughter, lots of styles and lots of fun was had by all and we all impressed by someone who could move!!
Graeme and Charissa had the final say in a challenging, but peaceful few tracks of BodyBalance and brought us back from the high of Jam.
Our special guest on the day was Michael Johnson, from the HB Magpies. He stayed for the whole class and we were impressed with his strength in pump, skills in step and Jam and flexibility in Balance. We were hoping that a few more of the team could have attended, but due to training commitments, only MJ turned up.
We completed the day with a 2nd RPM class. Althought this class was not booked out, the passion and energy was there and once again Sue & George made the class rock!!
What a successful launch. Members came in black & white and fully participated in all of the programmes. We had approximately 40 -45 members attend, with 12 members in the first RPM class, approx. 30 people in the GF Room and a further 4/5 in the second RPM class. Most of our members stayed for the whole thing. I heard comments from members in the gym, (even Andy Curran, a personal trainer) who said she had never seen a RPM class before and enjoyed watching to see what it was all about. The music was cranked up and the atmosphere in the gym was pumping. The idea of keeping the bikes in the main gym area for the week to promote RPM was a great one and I am sure, our RPM classes will be booked out over the next few weeks. If not, all our members who were (in the gym), will be talking about it!! Everyone will be wanting to try out the new Enduro format that the latest RPM release is offering.
A fantastic team of instructors who thrive on bringing the new releases to life, make the Peak Fitness Launches successful and I know our members look forward to them. Bring on the next one – End of August, Early September!!
