New Carpets!
Operation carpet install was quite the success!! After the Friday afternoon adventure of removing ALL the cardio equipment from the fitness floor, the carpet guys got to work and laid down the new rugs. I'm sure many have you have already seen the new look, but if not, stop by the BRC for a workout and to check out everyone's hard work! Take a peek at the tranformation below!

Tai's Trip to Nigeria!
THANK YOU MEMBERS!
The Taiwo Kuti Squash Youth Development Foundation thanks the BRC for the great support, encouragement and fantastic gifts to the kids at the 2nd Annual Taiwo Squash Clinic held in Lagos, Nigeria. The kids and their parents were so happy (with the gifts from the BRC) and they danced all the way home! The program has since been broadcast on Nigerian national television and viewed around the world. It was also a big talking point on local radio stations. Mike Downey and I would like to extend our thanks to all of you who have donated to the Taiwo Squash Youth Development Inc., which puts smiles and hopes on the kids faces in Nigeria through squash!

BRC Squash Showdown!!
What a great few days we had last week! Everything started off with over 75 of our members attending the Showdown at Symphony on Wednesday night. We had the chance to be a part of the biggest squash event in the sports' history! Jonathan Power, Ramy Ashour, Amr Shabana and Gregory Gaultier led the way for a fun and entertaining evening. Those who attended were awed at the level of play and also the various skills the pros showed off!
On Thursday, The BRC was fortunate enough to host Jonathan Power and Hisham Ashour for our own "BRC Squash Showdown." We had a phenomenal turnout of members (over 100!!) to see Tai challenge each pro...and boy did he give them a run for their money!
After a month of play, the winners of the BRC in-house tournament had the opportunity to challenge either Jonathan or Hisham to a squash game as well. Twelve games and lots of fun and laughs later, everyone was sad to see such a great day end. We want to thank Jonathan Power, Hisham Ashour, John Nimick, our members, guests, staff and friends for their unbelieveable support to make the occasion such a special one!

"TEAM UP and SUCCEED!!!"
By Daniel Cadet, Master Trainer
Henry Ford once said, "If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself." The truth is that everyone does not have that innate motivation. If one does, it is liable to wander off in the midst of the cloud of life's pressures. But, I am going to bet that everyone wants to look and feel good. For some, getting to that point can present a daunting task. No need to fear, climb that mountain with other individuals who share the same feelings and achieve together. This is one of the advantages of group training or what we call team training. Team training is a dynamic, usually specialty, and fee-based group exercise program. Ideal class sizes at the BRC have 3-5 participants.
Team training creates an atmosphere of 'getting straight to business and leave it all on the floor'. Everyone is chasing the same goals: To work as hard as they can to lose fat, get stronger, increase stamina, and have a sense of accomplishment. As instructor of 2 lunchtime kettlebells classes, I serve as the coach and motivator. However, the team aspect is the unsung hero. Imagine you are on your last set of a very exhausting workout. You are grunting, sweat dripping into your eyes as your body trembles and screams, ENOUGH!!! You look at the person to your right and he appears to be struggling as well, except he has a gleam of confidence and determination as he grunts louder. Then, you say to yourself I can go harder than him. You both are the victorious and complete another tough workout that you know you could not have pushed as hard alone. The camaraderie continues as team members become familiar with each other outside the class and share ideas about nutrition or tips, or some banter while recovering from the workout. Furthermore, accountability fuels participants as no one wants to be the guy who doesn't show up or is a slacker in class. Not to mention, boredom is not an option as workouts constantly change and are charged with energy.
Team training also is cost effective as a session can be 30% the cost of a one on one session. That is great way to keep continuity, which will lead to inevitable success. In short, team training is the wave of the future in the fitness industry. It creates a fun and motivating atmosphere that can break up one's stale workout routine. Our newest trainer, Katie, is getting ready to start a group training class geared towards improving squash fitness. I also have my midday kettlebell classes everyday, except Tuesdays. Please keep your eyes and ears open for other classes to come. If you are interested in any team training, you can inquire at the front desk for more details.
