Member of the Month: Bill Althaus
Hello, Razor Sharp Members!
My name is Bill Althaus, and I'm a funeral director at Piasecki-Althaus Funeral Home in Kenosha. In my profession, I consistently partner with others at a critical, vulnerable time in their lives. Caring for people emotionally in the particular way that I do does have physical side effects. I love being with people and giving of myself; however, if I don't take care of me, I find it increasing difficult to support anyone else.
One of the ways I take care of myself is by exercising regularly. I don't work out to win awards or be the best at or most of anything; I include exercise as part of my weekly routine in order to be responsible for my overall wellness, of which physical fitness is a crucial component.
Like so many of us, I may not always look forward to going to the gym, but I am so grateful I made fitness a priority by the time I'm done. I enjoy so many of the classes at Razor Sharp, and the staff is so encouraging, motivating and supportive.
Thanks to Razor Sharp for being so welcoming and helping all of us meet our wellness needs and fitness goals.

| Excellent Turnout for 1st Annual Skeleton Skamper |
| |
The sun was shining for the first annual Skeleton Skamper which was held on Saturday, October 30th here at Razor Sharp Fitness. The 5k, or 3.1 mile run, was the main event for the Skeleton Skamper, a race that many people wore costumes for. The event was organized by Real Racine which is the county's tourism and visitors bureau and managed by Kari Dawson, Real Racine's Event Manager and Razor Sharp Fitness member.
In addition to the 5k run/walk, Ruud Lighting sponsored the 1-mile family fun walk. The registration turnout was much greater than expected with about 700 people in the 5K race and 500 people for the 1-mile walk. After the race, all participants wearing a costume were given a special treat and medals were awarded to the top 3 finishers in each category.

Razor Sharp has improved the steam room by adding eucalyptus directly into the steam. Eucalyptus not only adds a wonderful aroma to the steam room and makes your moments of relaxation even better, it also has many health benefits associated with it. The following are a few of its many benefits:
- Improves respiratory efficiency and treats many respiratory associated ailments
- Soothes muscle pain due to its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties
- Effective in treating stress and mental exhaustion.

| Youth Private Swim Lessons Available |
| |
Did you know that Razor Sharp Fitness offers private swim lessons for children ages 6 and older? Lessons take place on Fridays from 2:00 until 6:30, or Saturday or Sunday evenings between 3:00 and 7:00pm.
Member Lisa Bull comments, "My son Brandon who is 6 years old loves taking swimming lessons at Razor with Dan Neumann. Brandon has always loved the water but had a fear of drowning. Since working with Dan those fears are gone and he grows more confident after every lesson. We would love to send him every day as Brandon requests, but will continue with periodic lessons for our little swimmer."
The cost for a 30-minute private lesson will be $40. Please contact Dan Neumann for more information or to sign up for a lesson today.
