Getaway Fitness, a luxury fitness vacation provider, will feature a new women’s magazine at their upcoming event The ULTIMATE Women’s Fitness and Wellness Event 2012. The event, to be held on February 25 at the TradeWinds Resort in St. Pete Beach, Florida, is a women’s fitness and health extravaganza and is also the inspiration for HER Health Magazine. Getaway Fitness founder Maria Walker shares
“ Our goal for this event is to provide the knowledge to empower women to be in charge of their health, to quit putting themselves last, and to give them the tools to get healthy and fit. There was so much information we hoped to impart at our event yet we had a limited timeframe for doing so. We initially decided to create a woman’s health guide so that participants would have a meaningful takeaway from the event. The more we discussed what needed to go into the guide, it quickly expanded into what is now HER Health Magazine. “
Getaway Fitness also features women’s only fitness retreats called Girlfriend Fitness Getaways. Walker explains that she plans to expand HER Health to be a seasonal publication for their women’s retreats. “We have so many guests that meet while attending our fitness vacations and become friends. We view this publication as a means for keeping our guests connected with each other and allowing them to share their experiences and successes achieved from attending our retreats. It is also a great platform for continuing to deliver the latest health and fitness information to our program participants.
Girlfriend Fitness Getaways and The ULTIMATE Women’s Fitness and Wellness Event 2012 support the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure. 4% of the registration fee for The ULTIMATE Women’s Fitness and Wellness Event 2012 will be donated to the Suncoast Affillate of the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. Along those lines, HER Health Magazine will contain a feature called “Inspired by HER” which will celebrate courageous women who fought the battle against cancer and inspired others.

Albany CrossFit, part of an insurgent fitness movement that is changing the way people around the world think about diet, health and fitness, today announced it will host more than 200 athletes from New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts in the Tristate Throwdown Competition on February 11, 2012.
Over $2,500 in cash and prizes will be awarded to athletes in the Competitive, Masters, an d Recreation divisions. A C2 rower will also be awarded, along with prizes from Reebok, Again Faster, Rogue, and other sponsors.
"We've certainly come a long way since I got a $35 foam roller for winning my division in a regional competition like this one in 2009," said Daniel Freedman, former Editor-in-Chief of the CrossFit Journal and a longtime observer of the CrossFit scene.
Jason Ackerman, owner of Albany CrossFit and CrossFit Clifton Park, agrees. "Competitions like this are great. And the prizes are a nice addition. But we made sure to include a Recreation Division for people who still have holes in their game. What most people don't understand about CrossFit is that it's for all shapes, sizes, ages, and athletic abilities. CrossFit is not only for the young and already in-shape. Some of our best athletes are 50 plus years old or have lost over 20 pounds. CrossFit is for everyone.”
The Albany CrossFit gym began modestly four years ago in cramped and shared space with a handful of members. It expanded to a second location in Clifton Park over the summer. Renovations are now underway to expand the original location. Together, both gyms have over 500 members.
Why the success for a very tough workout regimen?
"It's the community feeling and the caring," says Albany CrossFit and CrossFit Clifton Park owner Jason Ackerman. "We treat everyone who walks through the door like an athlete, regardless of their current fitness level, and our members are great about encouraging each other. So people are able to go way beyond what they thought possible."
The workouts focus on natural and functional movements and are different every day. Every workout is coached and the coaches scale the workouts to accommodate different ability levels. CrossFit uses barbells, kettlebells, pull up bars and many body weight movements including squats and pushups. And it's a bit like the TV series "Cheers": everyone knows your name. Members strike up friendships, go out together and travel together. A few have even gotten married.
So they look forward to welcoming fellow CrossFitters from the Tristate Region for the Throwdown Competition at Albany CrossFit at 9:00 AM, Saturday, February 11 at Albany CrossFit, 444 Sand Creek Road, behind the Colonie Center in Albany. Athletes may register online.
Admission for spectators is free.

We’ve seen it on TV– people losing hundreds of pounds and transforming their bodies and lives right in front of us. What would you do if that opportunity came to Chanhassen? Would you sit idly by and watch your friends and neighbors change their lives, or would you join them?
This isn’t a pipe dream. It’s a reality.
Justin Yule, owner of Fitness Revolution in Chanhassen, has just announced his partnership with Personal Trainer Food– the hottest pre-made meal delivery system in the country– Fitness Consulting Group, and the Fitness Revolution franchise to put together their first ever National Transformation Contest.
Yule says, “I love helping people change their lives. Unfortunately there is so much misinformation out there, and many struggle with finding the right knowledge to make positive changes. This contest is going to help a lot of people make big changes in their lives and hopefully inspire many others to do the same.”
Chanhassen Fitness Revolution has also teamed up with over a dozen of local business owners to offer local support throughout the community and also plenty of prizes to the contestants.
So far the sponsor list includes:
• 3M
• 31 Bags
• ABC & Toy Zone
• Chanhassen Dental
• Dunn Bros. Coffee
• Golden Tan
• Izzie & E Designs
• Jamberry Nails
• Mustard Seed Landscaping & Garden Center
• Nyles Schwardt THE Handyman
• Pampered Chef
• Party City
• Scentsy Wickless Candles
• Simple Trends
• Taglio Hair Salon
• Tupperware
• Uffdaa Wear
• Vault Denim
The contest, which will kick off on February 6th all throughout the country, is an 8 week long, life-changing event, consisting of proven training programs and workouts, and of course, a nutrition program designed to boost metabolism and promote healthy lifestyle changes.
The goal is for contestants to develop habits that will allow them to turn back the clock, add years onto their lives, and feel confidently about their bodies.
Over 100 fitness facilities throughout the country will be involved, and the winner at each location will be evaluated for the opportunity to win a national grand prize including being a spokesperson for Personal Trainer Foods.
The real winners, however, will be the participants and their families. “This isn’t just a quick fix. We want to help these people get their lives back,” said Yule.
“Over the next 8 weeks, we will be providing updates as well as chronicling their journeys online www.ChanhassenFitnessRevolution.com. You can follow along for updates, video, and pictures.”
Of course, if you want to do more than just follow along, the National Transformation Contest is open to all applicants who wish to enter. For more information on how to transform your body and your life, visit www.ChanhassenWeightLoss.com or contact Chanhassen Fitness Revolution at 763-280-3481.
