We are excited to bring these powerful stories of
 transformation back in August! We will kick off the month by introducing you to Amanda Fleming, a former athlete who found her inner and out strength again at Bay Athletic Club. She is a wife, mother of 3 and works full-time. She has overcome big obstacles to make it to her goal of being healthier, inside and out, by the time she turned 40. Her story is powerful. Catch it this Monday night on the WBKB 6pm news and catch the replay on our
Facebook page the next day.

We have gifted dozens of BAC stadium blankets in July to members who have hit their 100th check in! We've also given out sideline chairs to DeAnn Carter, Krista Morrow and Rhonda Keller for hitting their 200th check in! It's been an exciting month in so many ways. Wherever you're at, you are on track to earning yourself a BAC Rewards gift if you keep your workouts consistent. You can do it too!
Here's the quick 411 on BAC Rewards: we want to
 reward YOU, our members, for making fitness a priority year round. Members who get at least 100 check-ins during 2018 will receive a red BAC sweatshirt blanket: perfect for picnics, sporting events or snuggling on the couch. Members who get at least 200 check-ins during 2018 will get the blanket and the sideline chair! Oh...it comes with a carrying case too!
No strings attached, just more BAC SWAG and incentive for you, our valued members.

Community Outreach
The kids at the Salvation Army Summer Program got to run through a circuit at Bay Urban Fitness! Trainers Lara and Courtney hosted 20 kids and talked with them about healthy food, the power of exercise, why we need water and getting a good nights sleep. Then they hopped up and went through two different circuits using med balls, the TRX, ladders, sand bells and more. They had a blast and working out truly felt like a game!
 Fitness keeps you young and that youthful energy is bursting out of this picture! Twice a month a BAC instructor heads to Turning Brook to lead a chair based fitness class for residents.

Shakeology of the Month
|
STRAWBERRY COCONUT LIME BREEZE
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!
You can order a supply for home at:

Mediterranean Summer Salad
Put this refreshing salad together in a flash. Filled with the effervescence of three fresh herbs and the zesty bite of lemon juice, this salad makes for a perfect summer meal.
INGREDIENTS:
1 lbs. chicken breast, grilled
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup dill, plus more for garnish
1/4 cup Italian flat leaf fresh parsley leaves
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tsp. sugar
Pinch of salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved and divided
2 cups hothouse cucumber, roughly chopped and divided
4 cups spring greens or spinach, divided
1 cup crumbled feta
1/2 cup kalamata olives, pitted and halved
DIRECTIONS:
In a food processor, combine dill, parsley, basil, lemon juice and sugar, then pulse until combined. You may need to stir in the herbs between pulses to get them chopped. With the motor running, slowly add 1/2 cup olive oil in a steady stream until smooth, then season with salt and pepper.
Slice grilled chicken and place 2 cups of greens down in a bowl, repeat with another bowl. Arrange the divided sections of tomato, cucumber, feta, olives, and chicken on top of the greens in each bowl. Drizzle with vinaigrette and serve immediately. Serves two.

August 2018
|
An idea floated into my mind on a
raft...
and it's changed our business.
About six years ago, I was at a staff retreat at our family cottage on Grand Lake. We were laying on rafts, talking about one of our core values of Bay Athletic Club -- gratitude. That means gratitude for each other as teammates, for our community for its support, and to our members for their loyalty. I started brainstorming how we could really SHOW our gratitude in a big, fun way. There, was born our annual #LIVEGRATEFUL campaign.
It's a "pour-the-love-on" to our existing members campaign.
We celebrate every August as member appreciation month. Of course, we hope you feel valued every time you come to BAC! This is just the "cherry on top."
This year? We are going BIG!
All members are gifted:
- a high-quality, custom reusable shopping bag
- a free 4-day camp of their choice (4 time slots to pick from)
- a free guest pass to inspire a friend
- a flyer outlining all the support available at BAC
 Today is the first day of the month and we'd already given out 100 bags by noon! What fun. I
was at the club teaching lunchtime Pilates and was so happy to see so many members walking out with a smile and a sporty new bag! I snapped a picture of our membership director Courtney Holmes gifting a bag to local PE teacher and Varsity girls basketball coach Erin Andrews (who has been super committed to her fitness this summer, as a busy mom of three!)
I love summer BAC. We had record high check ins during the month of JULY when most clubs and most communities take a vacation from fitness. NOT US!
Our "Group Ex Rocks" program kept members happy, engaged and winning free shirts all summer long!
August is going to be amazing. Live Grateful month brings lots of "good feels."
Looking forward to seeing you at BAC.
And if you are a friend far away, who likes to stay up on our journey, thank YOU for your support and I hope you well.
Sincerely,
Trina, Proud Owner, BAC
