Message for the New Year

I would like to wish you and your families a happy and healthy new year.  At the beginning of the year, we all start off with the best intentions but too often we do not fully commit and achieve our full potential.  It is the perfect time to re-evaluate your health and fitness and refocus on any areas that need attention. 

 

 

BREAKTHRU would like to be your partner in health and fitness this year so that you can achieve your best results with both safe and realistic goals.  In order to do our part, we must have current information.  Our personal trainers will be offering complimentary health and fitness screens to get started and there will be incentives for completing these.  Our trainers will be available to discuss your needs in fitness meetings which are an included benefit with membership.  Please enjoy this winter edition of our newsletter filled with useful information and exciting updates.  

 

 

 I would like to welcome trainers Heather Schnepf and Tyler Urzi who both have college degrees and highly regarded national certifications in the health and fitness sciences/profession/fields. 

 

Heather is a certified Athletic Trainer through NATA, and a certified Personal Trainer by the National Strength and Conditioning Association.  She is currently completing her Master’s degree in Sport Management at Drexel. Heather was a 4 year letter winner at the University of Iowa for field hockey and was a member of the US Women’s National team.  She is leading our ‘Lose Inches 101’ Inaugural class which is having a lot of fun and achieving great results.
