As you can see in our featured article at the left, we are committed to Plant City and we are excited about it. Over the next few weeks we will be working on the architectural design, selecting contractors, and building out the club.
 

We will also be working with local businesses on our Company Wellness Program, which offers businesses a great employee benefit and can improve productivity. If this is of interest to you or your company please do contact us.

 

We have joined the Plant City Chamber of Commerce and plan to be active members. So if you see us around please feel free to say "Hello."

 

As you will find below, our newsletter will always feature tips on improving your health and new elements you will be able to enjoy at the club. And as we get a better feel for our opening date we will post it in this newsletter too.

 For 2,500 years, wild flowers and berries from the elder tree have been used for medicinal purposes in Europe. Preparations of 'Elder' in the form of pastes, infusions, and tinctures are used strengthen the immune system, detoxify the body, fight inflammation and boost the bodies overall energy levels.  The practice to treat these ailments is still in use today as more and more people look for natural alternatives to western medicine.
 
Perhaps most impressive is the ability of Elderberry to greatly reduce the duration of the flu virus. Elderberry disables the enzyme that flu viruses use to penetrate cell membranes. Elderberry preparations have immunostimulatory properties when given to someone suffering from influenza. A recent study has shown that preparations of Elderberry have been successful at suppressing H1N1 virus and therefore may be a good immune booster against the virus.
 
Today, Elder can be found at most health store outlets, herbal shops and on the Internet, in many forms from teas to tonics, lozenges to cough syrups.   Always check the dates on the packages for freshness and expiration.

If you love a great ride and enjoy spin classes, but just can't seem to find one on your schedule, we will have the answer for you. Our club will feature Star Trac's new eSPINNER®.

 

The eSPINNER has a special entertainment system mounted on the handlebars that let you watch television, movies from your iPod, or get your butt kicked by a full Spin class taught by one of the nation's leading Spin instructors. The on board computer system monitors your actual performance and gives you live feedback to improve your effort. And the advanced intelligence means you will never have the same ride twice.

 

So at Anytime Fitness Plant City you won't have a reason (or excuse) to miss your spin class ever again.
