Making room for growth
Yesterday's snow day and lighter volume of traffic in the gym made it possible to get a head start on the revamping of the workout floor here at BrickHouse. Some of you may come in and feel a little out of sorts, but everything is still here to get in a great workout.
We are making room on the floor to bring in additional equipment & weights that will also allow us to expand our Gauntlet Training Program.
Stay tuned...Great Things To Come!!!

Gauntlet Workout
Last nights Gauntlet Workout was intense! An additional 30 seconds added onto an exercise can really boost ones endurance and really intensify a workout without adding any additional weight.
Ken got to enjoy his first Gauntlet workout last night. He did the first half and I did the second half. I was able to take advantage of the additional modified round at the end...wow!
Great things are in store for our Gauntlet Training Program. We have plans to expand the program, expand the area for the program and we have new equipment ordered and planned for future workouts in order to keep everyone challenged and to incorporate new exercises into the program.
Beginning February 15th, there will be a $20 annual equipment fee required from those who wish to be part of this training program as well as a $1 pay for play for each session you would like to attend. The money will go directly into the Gauntlet program to help off-set the thousands of dollars necessary to purchase kettle bells, chin up bars, suspension straps, plyometric boxes, hurdles, sledge hammers, medicine balls, climbing ropes, gym mats and more.
If you haven't had a chance to get in on a Gauntlet Workout, you'll have the opportunity to try 2 classes FREE before having to pay the equipment fee to continue the training. Even if you attended every Gauntlet Training Workout currently offered, you would only be paying 1/2 of what a regular one hour session costs with a personal trainer. You can't buy Personal Training this cheap!
Everyone seems to be excited about the new things coming for the program and we are just as excited to bring it!
Gauntlet is lead by Beth Downey, B.S., Personal Trainer and is exclusive to BrickHouse Health & Fitness.

Determination & Results
Last night I subbed the Crunch Time class for another instructor. When I got to the room where the Gauntlet Training was wrapping up there were people everywhere doing Burpee's and some standing off to the side cheering the rest of them on.
There was already 2 minutes that had gone by and the bystanders had already given their all after a grueling hour long training to push themselves to the limit. There were about 10 people still pushing themselves, soon they had nothing left to give.
Then it came down to a husband and wife and another guy still doing their Burpee's ... over 3 minutes had gone by ... then the husband had given everything he had which left his wife and another guy still going at it. The crowd of people where cheering them on and finally after 4 minutes the trainer called time (I mean enough already...The Crunch Time class needed to start! ... just joking!)
Anyway, at 4 minutes this one man and this one woman were still belting out the Burpee's it was awesome!
The Gauntlet Training Program offered only at the BrickHouse is going to be expanding in order to provide additional avenues which participants can increase their endurance, challenge their bodies and their minds. Exciting things will be coming in the next few months! The men and women who regularly attend this training workout have made remarkable progress over the last few months and continue to make tremendous gains with their fitness.
I applaud everyone!!
Last night before the class started I had met a new member and I had suggested that she go in and try a few rounds. I was thrilled to see that she was still there at the end of class doing her Burpee's! Wow! She thanked me afterward for suggesting she go to the class, I was truly surprised that she did the entire class and even participated in the Burpee Challenge afterward. There are not too many people who make it through the entire class their first time let alone make it through a challenge at the end!
It's amazing what the human body is capable of...all you need to do is believe in yourself and not be afraid to try new things. I suspect that if she continues to come to this training workout on a regular basis she will be more than thrilled with the progress she sees in herself.
I love being at the BrickHouse to support everyone who comes in here doing something for themselves!

Gauntlet Training only at BrickHouse
Gauntlet Training is one of the most popular training classes held 6 times a week at the BrickHouse. The Gauntlet consists of 5 exercises for 1 minute each with a 2 minute break for a total of 6 rounds during the hour long training. Recently, the format has changed a bit to work & improve on endurance with 4 exercises for a minute & a half each. Every month and throughout there are Time Challenges so you can keep track of your progress and improvements over time.
During the evenings, we have to limit the class to the first 20 people because it is so popular.
Excitement continues to grow for this class with members bringing in their friends who want to know what all the hype is as they read all about it on their friends facebook pages.
This is a class that delivers immediate results in overall body composition, strength, agility and endurance. During the class you'll experience core work, strength training, plyometric training, speed training and an overall cardio blasting experience! Lunges, Pull Ups, Dumbbell Training, Slosh Tubes and so much more! You'll get everything out of this training that you put into it! It's a class that will build your self confidence and challenge your body, mind & spirit.
There is no tricky choreography to learn or know. You'll find functional training exercises that everyone can do. The harder you work, the more your body will thank you! Don't get me wrong, you'll walk out of this class breathless, sore the next most (or two) for sure and you'll soon find yourself a Gauntlet Junkie!
Become a fan of the Gauntlet today, join a class and make 2010 YOUR YEAR! We are currently working on creating new programs for this class and introducing new equipment to further your abilities and progress for a better, healthier, fitter YOU!
