It is our opportunity to show our appreciation to our dedicated members and welcome our new members all of whom we hope to provide the best service for years to come. I thought I would post our invite here so anyone interested would know the details.

Work gets in the way.
Well it's been a couple of days since I posted so I thought I'd do a quick post. I'm out of town for work so I haven't been around to post what is going on at the gym. Our ab machine is in and when I spoke with Eugene today he was assembling it! Yeah! We are still planning our grand opening and I hope we attract members both current and new. Even more than that I hope we can add a little "excitement" to the downtown business scene. I'll report more tomorrow when I return. Until then please don't forget to sign up for our blogs and podcasts workshop on Saturday. Email us @ cubahometownfitness@gmail.com for more information.

Members Welcome!
Another great weekend. We had a few more folks join and look forward to seeing those who have said they will be back in November. The beautiful weather is allowing us all a few more days to enjoy fitness outdoors.
We are going to start our workshops this weekend. Since the gym now has wi-fi we thought we'd help our members learn how to use technology to help achieve their fitness goals. Members (or future members) can join us on Saturday, October 18, 2008 to learn how how to research or create Blogs and Podcasts as fitness tools. Please email, call or stop by Hometown Fitness during staffed hours for more information or to sign up for the workshop.
Our Grand Opening will be Saturday, November 1, 2008 from 8AM-8PM so please stop by to say hello or even come workout. We plan on having healthy snacks and various promotional giveaways. Stay tuned for more!

It really is Eugene, not Jim.
Well the same article appeared in the Allegany Courier this week and unfortunately Eugene is still named Jim in the article. We really did try to get it changed, I guess we'll need to do something spectacular to get on the front page with the correct name. Until then Eugene may have to answer to both names :).
There isn't much to report on this weekend. The beautiful weather is likely keeping everyone outside. I honestly can't blame them. Still no detail for our grand opening. Maybe I'll try to work on things tonight or tomorrow. I love long weekends.

Has it really been another week?
Wow, the time is racing by. I have not spent much time at the gym this week. Actually, that's not all true. I've been getting up around 5:30 and hitting the treadmill and some weights then coming home and switching spots with Eugene. Our schedule is still being worked out. That's one excuse (I don't have time to work out) I no longer use. I make time to exercise because I know I feel better when I do.
Since my last post the cable, internet and phone have been installed. That means we are officially wi-fi! Members can use their mobile devices while working out. I'm not sure how many members have this technology but maybe we'll look at having a technology night in the future.
Along that line we are exploring the suggestion of one of our members to have some theme nights each month. The origin of our name "Hometown Fitness" is our deliberate intention to be a part of the community as well as create community spirit through fitness. We had a nice gentleman come in today and ask "Am I too old to exercise here?" I think that's what is so great about fitness, you're never too old or too young to make exercise a core part of your life.
The Ab Machine (pictured below) is coming! With no luck finding one from our contact we have ordered one. It should be here in a couple of weeks.
Please keep suggestions coming. We are in the process of putting together our "Grand Opening" as well as our marketing campaign. As we have details I'll continue to post.

Any press is good press!
Another packed weekend of working at the fitness center and beginning the remodel of our new home. We were happy to have the Bills game to watch on satellite, well, for the first couple of minutes anyway. We are now connected to Cable now which also means we have a land line phone number as well as the wi-fi capability. I'll post when that is ready. I'm working on some promotional material and will have it included in there in the next day or so.
Our article did appear on the front page of the Business Section of the Times Herald yesterday. It was a very nice article. Unfortunately Eugene's name was printed as Jim McFarland. We contacted the paper so hopefully that change can be made. Eugene may just have to answer to Jim for a bit! We are still grateful to OTH since we still see any press is good advertising for us.

We made it!
I am happy to say that we have reached the end of what has been a great first week. Adjusting to a new schedule has been the biggest challenge for our family. As the weeks go on I'm sure we will develop a good routine that we can all live with. As for now I think we are all exhausted.
We have a nice group of members already that have either decided to stay on with the fitness center as well as some new members. It is our sincere pleasure to provide people of our surrounding communities with an option to incorporate fitness into their lifestyle.
Look for us in the Olean Times Herald this weekend too. Thanks goes out to Kip Doyle for stopping by to write about us. We hope that this will be a way to highlight our efforts to help reinvent the look of our Main Street. It is also our intention to launch a more extensive marketing plan in the coming weeks. An official grand opening is still in the works. An open house will give us a chance for people to what kinds of changes we have and plan to make.
Please feel free to comment on the blog or email us at cubahometownfitness@gmail.com, we appreciate the feedback!
