“How to Keep Your New Year Resolution” Workshop

Wednesday, January 6, 2010, 5:15-6:30 at the Chamber Office

Lots of people make a New Year resolution. Some people make the same resolution year after year. However, most people do not keep their resolution. Positive Outcome Coaching presenter, Leo Hirsch, will be offering some fun and simple strategies for figuring out what steps you need to take to accomplish your goal, how to put a strategy in place so that you get the result you want and, most importantly, you will discover that keeping your resolution is more important to you than you might think. Once you learn the skills in this workshop, the same strategies will work for just about any goal you want to accomplish in your life, not just your New Year Resolution. Join us for this exciting workshop; call the Chamber to make a reservation, 573-7600.

FFIT@home is a philosophy, a program, a community and a lifestyle.  It is designed for busy people who simply want to be healthier and happier. You have the right to love your food, love your exercise, and take care of your body!

Our Philosophy -For the majority of us, focusing on just exercise or nutrition will not give us the results we desire.  Tailoring your body requires a combination of Exercise, Nutrition and Support. 

Exercise- Our workouts are martial arts based and influenced by Pilates, Yoga, Bootcamp and 2^nd grade recess.  We implement muscle confusion: varying the exercise, timing and intensity of the workouts.  A new workout is available each week and viewable on www.FFIT.tv.

Nutrition -We encourage our members to focus on consuming whole foods, implement portion control and eat consciously.  This is not a diet – it's a lifestyle allowing you to indulge in your favorite treats in moderation.

Support -Coach Erika and Coach Melissa are there for you every step of the way.  Send a note to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it any time and Coach Melissa or Coach Erika will respond within 24 hours.
