Greetings!
Win a Kindle, Visa Gift Card, free month pass and MORE during our client appreciation contest. The contest is underway, have you signed up?
Monthly Passes - After much feedback regarding our pass options, we've decided to simplify our 'menu' while still offering our unique policies (i.e. vacation pause & no-penalty cancellation). As of August 1, 2012 all passes* will be converted so that they automatically renew each month.
All Levels/Power Reformer - We realize that some of you may have been curious at some point what the difference between the two class offerings. The truth is, our trainers are able to provide a challenging, yet modifiable workout for any community member that attends our classes. You are guaranteed to get a stellar workout during any class, therefore we are going to be removing the "All Levels" class title, and they will be "Power Reformer" instead. We hope this clarifies our offerings, but your experience will not change.
Nutritional Support - This month we welcome Ashley Besecker RD, CD a registered  dietitian & certified dietitian. She grew up in Woodinville playing softball & volleyball & eventually moved on to complete her bachelor's degree in nutritional science at Pepperdine University & her residency at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. She is now back home with her own practice, Crave Health, in Kirkland -- down at Carillon Point -- where she practices general nutrition for kids & adults. She loves her boxer puppy Laila, red wine, chips & salsa and has a passion for trying new restaurants & tweeting about it! She & her husband Tyler love LAB5 because it's unlike any other workout around, & after Tyler's 2 hip surgeries it's been amazing for his strength!
LAB5 Tote - If you haven't already done so, it's time to get a reusable tote for grocery shopping, or even to take on a picnic! LAB5 has you covered--stop by the front desk to get your tote. Part of the proceeds even go to benefit Lifelong AIDS Alliance.

LAB5 High5
Shafeena Chatur
 Started at LAB5: March 31st, 2012
Favorite Workout moves: Spider in Power Reformer & High-toe plies in Power Barre
Hobbies: Traveling abroad, watching independent films, indulging in unique cuisine, keeping up to date on current events, wine tasting, biking, & having dinner parties.
Pets? RIP my 17 year old long haired mini-dachshund Barney.
Anything else you'd like to share? My life is divided into two categories, BL & AL, before LAB5 & after LAB5. Before LAB5 I was taking boring classes at local gyms, & maintaining myself. After LAB5, I am in great shape, absolutely love how I feel! When I am not being tortured in Ron, Jessie, & Rebekah's amazing classes, you can find me creating smile masterpieces in my orthodontic practices.
Congratulations Shafeena--your hard-work, determination, and commitment to fitness is apparent and inspiring. Keep up the great work!

The Dirty Dozen & The Clean 15
Ashley Besecker
If you haven't heard of the Dirty Dozen, or the Environmental Working Group (EWG) - I'm
about to change the way you shop in the produce department. Every few years, the EWG sifts through testing results of 45 popular fruits and vegetables based on an analysis of more than 60,700 samples taken by the USDA and the federal Food and Drug Administration. Then, they rank their findings and put it in an easy to use guide for shoppers. The WORST contaminated foods are The Dirty Dozen. These foods you want to BUY ORGANIC. The LEAST contaminated foods are called the Clean Fifteen. These are the foods you can save some money on and buy conventional.
The brand new Dirty Dozen List just came out for 2012, and you can find the complete guide by clicking the image above.
