Diet, the other half of the fitness equation, remains top of mind at TRAIN. We are excited to carry the new Greens+ Bar in Natural and Chocolate flavors.

These bars are made of organically grown superfoods, soy protein, high energy herbal extracts and a little bit of honey to produce the only cold-processed, alkaline-forming green food bar.

Try our Eggology Egg Whites Totally FRESH egg whites sold to us just 3 days from the farm. These egg whites are not frozen, come from older eggs or powdered.

The egg whites are so fresh & pure that they are recommended by ABC's 'Good Morning America,' Fine Cooking Magazine, Cook's Illustrated, Better Homes & Gardens, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Gourmet Retailer, Food & Beverage, hundreds of finer cooking, and fitness & nutrition publications.

Dr. Barry Sears of the hottest diet 'The Zone' recommends egg whites. 'Egg whites are nature's best source of protein on the planet Earth, and until now people had to either crack & separate their own eggs, or buy egg white products that contain added chemicals and artificial ingredients.

Eggology egg whites are Organic, USDA approved, pasteurized, salmonella tested, and kosher. Because Eggology egg whites are so fresh, they can be refrigerated for 4 months, and because egg whites have no bacteria they can be frozen for years. In fact, 100% pure egg whites are so versatile that they can be defrosted numerous times without altering taste or texture. There are no added preservatives!

Don't go without a healthy protein snack. Have our Front Desk staff microwave this for you and enjoy it in the courtyard! Now only $3.

After a whirlwind 2 years of start-up and on-going business activity, we sent out our first ever Client Survey to all of you. We wanted to hear frank, constructive feedback on your experience here at TRAIN. We remain committed and focused on our original ideals of building a great gym: a fun and friendly place to work-out in, a hard-core, boutique alternative to the tony health clubs for the to-be-seen crowd and an engaged member of the community.

We've received feedback from early respondents whom we are thanking with a free coupon for Kirk Allen's kickass SPIN class. The comments, so far, have been highly valuable in helping us prioritize our attention.

Stay tuned as we compile and share this information. We plan on categorizing and prioritizing our what I call the 3 buckets: The Continue To-Do's, The Nice-To's and The Must-Do's. And, if you haven't yet, clicked and filled out the survey,
