Time: 6:45pm to 7:45pm
Place: Get Fit NH Concord
Whole9 Nutrition Seminar 4
Date: Saturday August 16, 2014
Time: 9:30am to 10:30am (then join us for Rock Climbing!)
Place: Get Fit NH Concord
On Saturday August 16th at 11:00am we will be headed across the parking lot to Evolution Rock and Fitness. We reserved a time for Get Fit NH student’s to learn how to climb and spend some time as a family.
Evolution Rock + Fitness provides the most modern and extensive climbing walls in northern New England. They have 16,000 square feet of climbing surface, there is something for everyone at all levels of ability, and they were kind enough to build the facility in our neighborhood – you’re welcome! 🙂 There is enough fun in this place for the whole family- make it a family fun day and bring your kids along!
Check out some of the pictures from our trip over there last year. We all had a great time (even Coach Dean, who kinda despises high things). If you have a fear of heights let’s conquer that fear together on August 16th.
The best part is we worked out a great price for you guys- just $20 will get you a climbing class, rentals, and the rest of the day to climb if you’d like. The climbing class will also teach and certify you how to belay. That means you could go to Evolution Rock and Fitness anytime and not have to pay the staff to belay you- score!
We went even further and worked out a membership discount with them. So if rock climbing is your sport or if you want to make rock climbing your sport, then ask us about the discount Evolution has offered our clients!

Respecting All Parts of a Run
If you’re like me, the sun beckons you outside. Whether it’s to go for a walk with a friend, play in the dirt with your children, or read a book, there’s always a simple pleasure in getting outside. For many, the sunny and long days now mean, “it’s time to run!” So we tie on the shoes and off we go!
However, the “off we go” mentality is sometimes what gets us an appointment at the doctor’s office. We jump in because we think the sun will make our bodies all warm and mobile, but unfortunately that’s not the case. If you’re a runner, you must respect all parts of a run – before, during, and after. But what are those parts?
With the great response from our last seminar, we want to give you the opportunity to learn more about what we discussed and how to apply it to you and your training. We talked about many factors including recovery, mechanics, and training methods. With this seminar, we’ll go more in depth with the different parts of a run, including
We’ll be doing a longer session with running, so please be prepared to run, and best of all for those who want to join, we’ll finish off the workshop by running downtown to have lunch together! (Just a heads up though, it won’t be McDonalds.)
Hope to see you there…with bells!

Last weekends workshop was such a huge success that we are doing it again! On Wednesday May 7, 2014 from 6:00pm to 7:30pm Coach Sarah will be presenting “Running Mechanics and Injury Prevention”, and I know you will not want to miss it. I wouldn’t be surprised if some people who came last time sign up again – it was that good!
Here’s what Adam had to say: “Coach Sarah & Coach Dean: I ran 4.25 of the most pain free miles this morning I have ran in over one year thanks to the information I learned at your running seminar yesterday. I focused exclusively on my running technique and it felt great. Sarah gave use so many great tips and new information. I would highly encourage anybody to sign up for this class if given again. We can’t wait for for your next/intermediate seminar! Thank You!”
Running season is kicking off with the Rock N’ Race (you can still register for the race here) just 8 days later, so now is the time.
See you there!

The first experience I had with how passionate Coach Sarah is about running and endurance athletics was at last years Jingle Bell Run. She runs in (literally, she ran from home, a little over a mile) about 10 minutes before the race, pulls some cash out of her pocket at the registration table (I think the registrars were a little bemused by the whole thing) dashes over to the start line, and promptly wins the overall women’s division! We are looking forward to having her share her passion and expertise at this workshop. As we head into the warmer weather and some of you tackle 5k’s and beyond for the first time, this workshop is sure to be a huge help in making sure you stay healthy and get better. Don’t Miss It! – Coach Dean
As spring is finally getting the upper hand, it’s likely there are many people who have been reaching for their running shoes. The shining sun, the melting snow, the feeling that this big winter has come to an end, the races ahead…those are probably the motivating factors leading most people to start their running regimen.
“Just start running!” might be the training plan. Sure, this is a great way to get yourself up and out into the wild, but it’s also a great way to injure yourself and set you back from reaching those goals for this season.
“You mean I can’t pick up where I left off in the fall?” Nope. Some of you parents might be familiar with the term “terrible twos.” Well in running, we have the term “terrible toos.”
Too much, too soon, too fast.
Without an adequate knowledge of proper form, correct shoes, and training philosophy, you’re likely to get injured by your own motivation!
Do you want to start running? Are you a runner? Is your child a runner? Are you interested in getting stronger, faster, and healthier so you can close the gap between you and your running goals?
If so (and you know you are), join Get Fit NH for our seminar “Better Body Workshop – Running Mechanics and Staying Injury Free”. We will talk about footwear, proper gait, common injuries and how to avoid them, training strategies and much, much more.
“A 12 minute mile is just as far as a 6 minute mile.”
Don’t be scared, don’t jump in too fast, don’t underestimate your potential…be a smart runner.
I look forward to seeing you there- Make It Happen!

The Peets Family
Saturday April 12, 2014 at 3 pm we will be hosting our monthly fundraiser event at our Concord location. We have witnessed some incredible generosity since we introduced these monthly events. In January we raised over $1,000 for Friends of Forgotten Children and in February we collected a car full of personal care items for Rise Again. This month we hope to have an outstanding turn out as we look forward to donating to Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth (CHaD).
This is an organization we hold near and dear to our hearts. CHaD is New Hampshire’s only comprehensive, full-service children’s hospital. They provide an extended system of care that offers advanced pediatric services. CHaD provides outstanding, compassionate care for children and their families. Coach Dean’s sister Deb Peets knows first hand the excellent care provided through CHaD, as her children have been through over 25 surgeries for a condition know as van der Woude syndrome.
“When I told Deb we wanted to do a fundraiser for CHaD she was thrilled” Dean shared. “She put us in touch with some great people up there to help with our efforts, and Get Fit NH is looking forward to a great day!”
You can read the Peets family story here: The Journey of Their Lives: van der Woude Syndrome
On Saturday April 12th our mission to pack the house with you and your children. Our goal is to raise $500 for this absolutely phenomenal and selfless organization.
This fundraiser training is for parents and children ages 6+. All we ask in return for a fantastic training hour is a minimum $10 donation. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to CHaD.
NEWS FLASH: BONUS KIDS NIGHT
After our “Kids for Kids” fundraiser training we hope you and the kids will stick around as we show “Frozen” in our state of the art theatre (Ok, it’s the gym, but it IS a huge screen!) We encourage you to stay after you sweat and make it a family day with us – we will even provide snacks!
Parent’s- it’s time to show your children how it’s done!
Hope to see you and your family at our family day 🙂

You asked for it, you got it!
The response to our High Performance Hips seminar was incredible, and as promised we are offering an extended workshop starting in just a few weeks.
This 6-week hip health and mobility workshop will take you through the 9 flexibility factors that were introduced at HPH, but even if you weren’t there we want to see you at this one.
Who needs this workshop?
If you fit in any of those categories, this is for you.
We will explore how the body compensates for poor movement patterns – ones you might not know even exist. We know that when we can clean up how the hips function we have a much better chance of getting rid of low back and knee pain, it’s just how the body works.
This is a limited enrollment workshop series, so please don’t delay signing up!
High Performance Hips 6-Week
Starts Wednesday April 16, 2014
