We are so excited to bring back our "60 Second
 Inspiration" stories this month. We have a great line up--you are not going to want to miss a single one! To kick things off we are featuring Brendan Franklin. He shares that he was heading down a dangerous path. Bad attitude, sneaking out, hanging out with the wrong crowd, but then he found fitness. So much changed in his life, inside and out. Look for his story to air on Monday, April 2nd during the WBKB 6pm news.

Community Outreach
THANK YOU to everyone who supported our Sweat for a Cause workout to benefit the Huron Humane Society. A grand total of $230 was raised! This is no-kill shelter that can always use help from the community. Trainer Rick Houchin had a blast leading the Urban Mix style workout. Our next Sweat for a Cause is happening on April 20th to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
Bay Athletic Club got the chance to work with preschoolers Lincoln Elementary school last month. Instructor and trainer Tracie Granata taught them about healthy foods, daily exercise and even led them through some fun yoga poses.
If you would like BAC to help with your community event or field trip use this form to apply.

We LOVE seeing you at the Club. We KNOW that the energy, variety of workouts and accountability we offer at BAC changes lives. Hands down.
We know you are also looking for ways to stay active when you are not at the club. You love to run, ski and hike! You can also enjoy a quick workout at home or on-the-go with our friends at Beachbody.
Owner Trina Gray loves teaching and taking classes at BAC. She also uses Beachbody on Demand (an on-line workout library) on her off days from BAC. She recently enjoyed an at-home leg workout during her kids day off of school. It is a great way to cut all excuses!
With BOD, you get hundreds of workouts, unlimited for a year. You can workout with your smart phone, iPad, laptop or smart TV.
On the road or at home? This works.
Questions about getting
BOD All Access through BAC? You can get it solo or packaged with a month of Shakeology ON SALE, including a FREE Shaker Cup and food plan!
Check out link above to go directly to the BAC Beachbody amount or simply REPLY to this email and we will get you set up.
Shakeology of the Month
|
CHOCOLATE BANANA CHEESECAKE
It tastes like dessert, but acts like a vitamin!
Why Shakeology?
We all struggle with food prep and getting all the nutrients we need in life every day. Shakeology solves both of those problems. It literally fills the gaps in our daily nutrition. We still advocate eating clean, colorful, whole foods for your daily meals. Shakeology is a multivitamin in a meal.
It is quick, convenient and filled with vitamins, minerals, superfoods, probiotics, prebiotics, digestive enzymes, amino acids, antioxidants and protein. It is NOT a diet shake or a quick fix. It is whole food nutrition.
Need Shakeology at home for YOUR family? FREE shaker cup with purchase!

HEALTHY EATS!
from Kelly Lake

This salad will leave you feeling satisfied but not weighed down. Plus it features a homemade  dressing, numerous seasonal vegetables and fruit. Don't let the list of ingredients stop you from trying it and it should take you 30 minutes or less.
Chipotle Chopped Pomegranate Salad
1 lbs. peeled and tail free shrimp
1 TBSP olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 TBSP chopped fresh parsley (optional)
1 tsp. chipotle powder
½ cup red quinoa, cooked according to package directions
4 cups of fresh spinach, chopped
1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed well
½ cup frozen corn, thawed
3 TBSP pomegranate seeds
8 cherry tomatoes, quartered
2 TBSP feta cheese, crumbled
3 TBSP pepitas (shelled pumpkin seeds)
To a hot skillet, add the oil and garlic and shrimp. Cook until the shrimp is heated through, about 2 minutes. Toss the shrimp with parsley and chipotle powder. Set aside and start to layer your salad bowl.
Start with black beans, corn, tomatoes, spinach, red quinoa, feta cheese, pepitas, pomegranate seeds and finish with a crown of shrimp. Drizzle with 2 TBSP of the well whisked vinaigrette and enjoy! You'll have left over seeds so try tossing them into yogurt, savory chicken dishes (to finish) or eat them as is for a snack. Serves 2 adults.
Chipotle Grapefruit Vinaigrette 
½ large grapefruit, juiced
1/3 cup olive oil
1 tsp. chipotle powder
1 tsp. fine salt
1 tsp. black pepper
1/3 cup taco sauce or tomato puree
In a small bowl, juice the grapefruit and combine with the rest of the ingredients. Whisk well to combine.

Happy Team. Happy Club. Happy Members.
I have learned a lot as a club owner over the past 12 years. One of the most valuable lessons is knowing that happiness in business begins within. T
hat starts with me, as the leader.
When I take care of myself and dive into leadership and personal development, I'm more capable of paying it forward to my team.
When my team is happy, thriving, healthy, feeling challenged and appreciated, they are more capable of paying it forward to our members.
When our members are feeling cared for, fit, joyful, strong and less stressed, they are more capable of paying it forward to our community.
It is beautiful to see the ripple effect of happiness and health spread across northern Michigan. The club is more than a facility, a business, a logo or a brand. It is a mission, a tribe and a crusade of real people who care! You'll see our impact in our schools, workplaces, non profits, senior centers and hopefully you feel the influence in your home life as well!
I know that when I pour into the team, the club and our community will benefit. Each year, I take our leadership team on a quick getaway to recharge our batteries, get connected, brainstorm and explore. This year, we went to Chicago to see a Broadway musical, called Hamilton. It was extraordinary. It was world class. It left us speechless (and that is hard).
We also attended a wonderful yoga class at a cutting edge, boutique studio. It was like taking a field trip! We came home 36 hours later, in our 12-passenger rental van, inspired to work again at 5 AM! So many memories, laughs and good times.
Life is an adventure, I hope you spend it with those you care about most. I could not be more proud of ALL of Team BAC (teamwork makes the dream work!) and am grateful for these leaders, pictured here, in my life.
