Loo Hamlin - The 93 Year Old Wonder Woman!

Getting ready to party!



The woman herself!


Loo and her daughter, Merrill!


Loo Hamlin is TRULY a Wonder Woman!  Lynda Carter has NOTHING on this lady!  


Loo is 93 years old and is our oldest club member.  She joined Lifestyle 10 years ago and has a vigorous swimming regimen which she diligently follows 3 days a week!  Like the rest of us, there are days when she just doesn't feel like working out, but Loo fights the urge to just lay around and she says that she always feels better once she has swam her laps!  


Last week, we honored Loo with a cake and a small party while her daughter was visiting from France.  Loo is so inspirational that Allison, from the Daily Courier, interviewed her and featured her in the Sunday edition of the paper!  


Lifting our glass in cheers to you Loo!  We love you!

Early Mornings ------ A great time to be at Lifestyle!

We open up our doors at 4:30am every weekday morning.  That's right, 4:30am!  Don't think you could get up that early?  No worries.  John already has the coffee brewing when you walk in the door!  

Need more justification to hop out of bed while it's still dark to get "up in the gym justa workin' on your fitness!"?  Well, here you go....


 Plenty of room in the free weights section!  Only the hardest of the hard core come this early, ergo....there's fewer people at the club at 5am.  No problems at all getting your own space!
 Get your metabolism set for the rest of the day by starting your cardio early!  And soooo much cardio variety to choose from!

 Can you believe this picture was taken at 5am?  I promise, you won't be in here by yourself!

 And the morning crowd isn't just the older set!  What a great time to take your kid (okay, he's not really kid size, but he's still IS technically still a kid!) to exercise with you?  They get it done before school AND are starting a lifelong habit of regular exercise!

 There's no better time to show off your guns than first thing in the morning!  This early, the day hasn't worn them out yet!

This is where the great minds meet and tough decisions are made!  There's a heavy duty brain cell workout going on here......just because you don't SEE those muscles flex DOESN'T mean they're not working!!!  


Now set put that alarm clock across the room and set it for 4am!  Having to get out of bed to turn it off already puts you half way here!
