There is nothing we love more than rewarding our members for their hard work and the holidays are no exception. Each week in December we will be hosting a #TMRSecretSanta contest on our Facebook Page and each week someone will walk away with a special gift. What can you win? We’re going to keep that under wraps for now, but we will be switching it up all month (hint… you’re going to love it).

This contest is open to everyone, even if you aren’t a Member at The Motion Room, though we hope you reconsider! Make sure to ‘Like’ us on Facebook and ‘Follow’ us on Twitter so you can get in on the contest and score some sweet #TMRSecretSanta loot.

We want to see you happy and healthy during the holidays, so be sure to read up on our latest    Ask The Trainer – ‘Tis The Season to Stay in Shape’ for tips to “BUST the Top 6 Excuses for Skipping Exercise During the Holidays.”

If you have kids, don’t miss   The Santa Experience at Kidz360 on December 13th and 14th! Santa, Mrs. Claus and the elves will be making a special appearance in The Junction for storytelling, Christmas songs, cookie decorating and, of course, to meet the kids. Spaces are limited so register early.

#TMRSecretSanta Winners!

Our first #TMRSecretSanta winner for the week of December 1st is Steph Lau!

Congratulations Steph. You have won a Polar H7 Sensor and a Polar Loop!

 For our first giveaway we asked you to share some of you 2015 fitness goals and this is what Steph had to say:

I just had my 1-on-1 Check-In and learned that I’ve lost 3lbs in pure fat mass!  The only thing that would have made it a better check in was if my muscle mass had gone up instead of staying the same. So my 2015 fitness goal is to keep shedding the pounds of fat, but to also start building up pounds of muscle!

We are sure you will be able to reach your goal Steph and hopefully your new Polar products will help you along the way!

Our second #TMRSecretSanta winner for the week of December 8th is Marc Cosentino!

Congratulations Marc. You have won Trigger Point Ultimate 6 Kit!

For our second giveaway we asked what motivates you to get and stay fit. Here is Marc’s response:

Marc Cosentino: What keeps me motivated is the freeing feeling you get when you finish a workout after a long day at work.

 

We know that feeling Marc! Thanks for entering our #TMRSecretSanta Giveaway and we hope you make good use of your new Trigger Point Performance products.

Roberta has been a dedicated Member at The Motion Room for over a year and has continued to ‘wow’ friends and family with her incredible work ethic and success!

Roberta’s Member Spotlight Story:

My name is Roberta and I’m a TMR member. I’m a 40-something year old, full time working mom of 5 year old twins. Finding time to work out is not easy, I’m not going to lie, I’m busy, I’m tired and most of the time I’m on my own because my husband works 12-14 hour days. After years of going to gyms and running to stay somewhat fit, I couldn’t find the time for any kind of fitness in my life once the twins arrived. And after five years of not moving I knew I was on a downward spiral into a really bad physical place. I was the heaviest I’ve ever been. I hurt all over. My back, shoulders, you name it, it hurt and I knew why. I needed to exercise.

When I enrolled my twins @ KIDZ360 2 years ago I had to walk through The Motion Room twice a day to drop them off in the morning and then back again @ 6pm for pick up. Having to walk through a gym and not be able to actually go there was gnawing at me. Every. Single. Day. (well at least Mond-Fri). One day the kids came home excited to show me they knew how to do pushups, jumping jacks and burpees. All taught through their Kids in Motion program. Here were my kids learning early on the importance of being active. That’s when I knew that I had to do something for me. I wanted to be a good role model and I wanted to be able to live long enough to watch them grow up.

Enter Groupon.

I decided last summer to figure out a way how to use my Groupon. I’d get texts from my husband late at night telling me if his work calltime would be late enough to allow me to get into TMR @ 6am and back before he left for work. As the Groupon was about to expire I realized I could actually fit this into my life. So I joined. It’s a fly by the seat of your pants kind of system I worked out but this is how I do it and so far so good. I’m going to the gym again. I haven’t reached all my goals yet but I know I can get there because the trainers are so amazing.

They are encouraging, friendly and knowledgeable. They’ll adjust a weight or excercise to accommodate my pain of the day. These days I get up @ 5:30am and work out 2-3 times a week on the Personal Co-Training program. No sleeping in for me on the weekends! I still do the daycare dash everyday. During the week I’m done my program @ 7am and then rush home, wake up the kids and get myself and them ready in 45 minutes so I can have them @ KIDZ 360 by 8:15am and me at my desk downtown @ 9am. It’s kinda crazy, but it works. By 9am I feel like I’ve accomplished a lot. And it feels good. Better yet, “I feel good.”(Cue James Brown)…I knew that I would.
