Greetings!
Our current warm spell is motivating me to happily dig
deep in my closet and take stock of my sexy bare-it-all
LA clothes and peeky toe platforms. Most of all,
the radiant sunshine and 80 degree weather is propelling
me to hit the gym hard! Just because I spend 98%
of my time here doesn't mean I'm constantly working
out. Au contraire! Have you heard of the
cobbler's children?
Mercifully, we've added new SPIN classes especially
morning ones that can rid me of my guilt for the rest
of the day. Gordon
Duvall, our go-to-guy for last minute subs has
taken on the 7am Tuesday and Thursday classes and cute-as-a-button,
trainer Irina Runier
is introducing her brand of high energy at 8am also
on Tuesdays and Thursdays. If this interferes
with your pilates on those days, try Fernando
Gaviria on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at
8am. Yes, the Latin hunk of amor is back!
I believe he also strips and takes his shirt off during
his wild rides. Hmmm. Of course, there's
always Jeff Daly
who is just so lovable at 9am on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Mark Morris is also leading TGIF Happy Hour with
a 6pm Friday SPIN class. Just think that spin
class gives you allowance for that extra spritzer or
sprinkles cupcake! Ssshhh! Don't tell our trainers!
So many to choose from. Heck! Just check
the schedule and come. Do you really look lean
and
Madonna-ish
enough to wear that muscle T or sleeveless frock??
She's looking hot, hot, hot and so should you, you,
you!
Yes we can, as Obama
says. It's never too late to take care of our
bodies and look and feel our best so we can be at our
preeminent selves. Read on for more tidbits on
exercise and diet. Feel the love!
With fondness and affection to all of our friends and
clients this Valentines
Day from all of us at TRAIN.

digital tv promo opportunity!
|
 If
you work out at the main gym, I'm sure you've noticed
the new plasma screen atop the shelving area behind
the front desk. As a member of the Health
Club Panel Network, we are privy to their myriad
marketing tools such as the now ubiquitous digital TV
passing on the latest on news, weather, sports (and
Britney!) Currently, in addition to the bottom
news crawl, it is streaming wondrous nature scenes such
as dolphins gamboling in the surf and amazing jets in
flight. It sure makes those chest cable crossovers
a tad more bearable! Michael
Enright, trainer, remarked how the simple splash
of color and changing graphics adds positive energy
to the gym. Take a gander!
The groovy part is, we
are now also able to broadcast local advertising spots
which will get about a total of 8 minutes per hour of
air time. Being a savvy businessperson that you
are, you can realize that this could be a great way
for you to get your message out to TRAIN's high-end
and diverse clientele. If you are interested,
please contact me directly at: mylene@trainwesthollywood.com
for further information.

Elations for your Joints!
|
Have you tried our latest drink sample? Until
supplies last, we are generously giving out bottles
of ELATIONS,
a complete 4-in-1 therapeutic drink. Each low-sugar
drink contains:
-1500 mg of glucosamine, an amino sugar that forms the
building blocks of joint cartilage, ligaments and synovial
fluid, improving joint cushioning.
- 1200 mg of chondroitin, a natural component of joint
cartilage that stimulates cartilage production to help
renew joints.
- 100% daily allowance of vitamin C, an essential nutrient
for producing the collagen which holds cartilage together.
- 30% daily allowance of calcium
Don't take your joints and ligaments for granted.
Our bodies, exacerbated by excess weight, take a beating
especially from rigorous workouts like SPIN, plyometrics
and heavy weight lifting. Give Elations a try.

 From
our affiliate partner, Fresh Dining:
7 Tips to Weight Loss
By Michael O'Shea, PARADE Magazine
1. Buy a Scale
To change your body, you need to know where you stand.
Place your scale on a flat, uncarpeted surface and weigh
yourself at the same time every day. (First thing in
the morning is best.)
2. Clean out Your Cupboards
Toss all those naughty little goodies that might prove
too tempting when you're tired or hungry. Or put them
at the back of the cupboard or refrigerator so you won't
be faced with them every time you open the door.
3. Keep a Journal
Write down your weight each day, plus everything you
eat. You're the only one who has to see this-so be honest.
Estimate the calories of each entry as you write it
down. (Buy a book of calorie counts.)
4. Tell Everyone
Sit your family down and tell them your goals. Be clear
that losing weight is important to you and that you
would appreciate their support. A weight-loss buddy
also can improve your chances of success.
5. Eat Several Small
Meals a Day
It's natural to be a little hungry during the first
few days of any diet. Remind yourself that it is just
a physical sensation, and you can handle it. Still,
any diet that leaves you hungry all the time will lead
to overeating.
6. Give Yourself Treats
If you deprive yourself endlessly, you'll end up going
on a world-class binge at some point. Consider adding
a treat to your daily or weekly plan, but pay attention
to portion size and calorie count.
7. Start an Exercise
Plan
Besides burning calories, exercise also builds muscle
and boosts your metabolism as you progress. One of the
best things you can do is walk. Invest in a pedometer
and aim for a goal of 10,000 steps or more a day.

REAL ESTATE UPDATE
For the first time ever, it's now possible to buy a
million dollar house with a 20% down payment using a
conforming loan!!! The biggest winners in the
economic rescue plan that passed the U.S. Congress on
Thursday and awaits President Bush's signature are middle-
to upper-income Americans who can refinance their jumbo
home loans at cheaper rates.
The stimulus package temporarily raises the maximum
size of mortgages that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac can
purchase and market as securities from $417,000 to as
high as $729,750 in expensive parts of the country like
New York City and California.
It makes a similar change for loans backed by the Federal
Housing Administration, which insures loans to borrowers
with weak credit.
Right now, borrowers in expensive areas are "really
stuck between a rock and a hard place," says Mark Vitner,
senior economist with Wachovia Corp. Raising the caps,
he says, will result in a refinancing boom for those
properties.
"We're more likely to see an immediate improvement at
the upper end than we are at the lower end" of the housing
market, he says.
