Coolness

bn

Brenda has lost over 30 pounds since she first started training at the IC in January 2006. Take another look at what she had to say about her own transformation last November.  A year later, she has kept the weight off. Now she’s working on adding some rope climbs to her repertoire in 2008.  Keep up the fabulous work Brenda!

Sorry Tsan; sometimes you just have to get the job done with whatever is available in order to stay on track…

It ain’t always pretty.

What’s up with the Face?

Will Ms. Kris be able to break her bench press record tomorrow night? She came close last Wednesday, but we think her gloves may be holding her back. Stay tuned!
