March Member of the Month: Tina Davis
Tina came to us just over a year ago, from another
fitness center in Racine. She decided to join Razor
Sharp primarily for the classes and programming we
offer. She currently attends a variety of fitness
classes five to six days per week. Her favorites are
Aqua Bootcamp, Yoga, Guts and Butts, Ringside, and
Stability Ball.
In addition to the classes, Tina recently completed the
Transitions 12-week weight loss program taught by
resident Wellness Consultant Suzanne Williamson,
RN, CDE. Although she hasn't seen a dramatic
reduction in pounds, she has reduced her body fat
percentage by 3%! She says that while it's great that
she feels better physically, the most important change
she has experienced thus far is how she feels much
better about herself emotionally.
Since Tina has become a member of Razor Sharp
Fitness, she has even motivated longtime friend and
fellow member Lori Patzke to attend classes and
exercise on a regular basis with her. Not only has her
fitness goals impacted a friend, but her new-found
eating habits have benefited her husband as well,
stating that in January he was told that he has a
blockage and must significantly improve his diet.
Way to go Tina! !

| Women's Self Defense Seminar March 29th |

Unfortunately we live in a dangerous world and most
women are not prepared to defend themselves
against a violent attacker. The good news, is there
are relatively easy ways to increase your chances of

comes
to Razor Sharp with over 20 years of martial arts
experience and has taught self defense seminars
throughout the Midwest.
Keith will cover such topics as safety awareness and
prevention, and he will go through various attacks and
counters that anyone of any strength level can
successfully perform.
The seminar is on Monday March 29th from 6:30 to
8:30pm, and the cost is $25 for members and $35 for
non-members. There is a limit of 20 women so
register at the front desk today!

| Acupuncture for Sinus Problems |
| |
Sinus problems can present with an array of
symptoms that range from annoying to debilitating,
and there really aren't a lot of treatment options
available. acupuncture can be a very effective
treatment for all types of sinus conditions. Even by
itself, Acupuncture can give relief to sinus pressure
that can be felt right away. It can also help to unclog
stuffed up sinuses and help stop sinuses from
running.
Sinus problems can be classified as acute or
chronic. Acute sinus problems can be caused by a
cold or an allergen that you were exposed to for a
short period of time that caused irritation. Acute sinus
conditions can usually be treated once or twice and
should clear up right away. Acupuncture by itself can
be very effective, but herbs may also be used along
with the acupuncture to make the treatment even
more effective.
Chronic sinus problems can be harder to treat since
they are usually caused by a deficiency in the body
that has been going on for a long time (even before
the symptoms showed up), or by an allergen(s) that
you are exposed to all the time or seasonally.
Acupuncture can still give some immediate relief for
symptoms, but
along with the relief of the symptoms, treatment must
be given to build up deficiencies in the body (or the
resistance to the allergen) otherwise the symptoms
will just come right back. A combination of herbs,
nutraceuticals, and acupuncture are generally used
together to treat chronic sinus problems.
So next time your allergies start to act up, or you end
up with that head cold that is being passed around
come in and see what acupuncture can do for you.
