 LAB5 High5 Gianluca Lou
Started at LAB5: March 31st, 2012
Favorite workout move? Planks on the Reformer (I love it when my abs burn!)
Hobbies? Reading, writing, bouldering, hiking, running, drawing, FOOD(!)
Pets? I had one cat named Aqua who died about seven months ago. She was my best friend!
LAB5 Fitness Fix
From middle school all the way through high school, I was always the last one picked for teams in P.E. With such bad experiences, I shied away from anything fitness related. As an adult, I decided to really take care of my health, & I began running regularly. But, I needed something more. I decided to join LAB5, & I am shocked with how in shape I have become. LAB5 truly redefined what fitness meant to me. Everyday, I'm looking forward to my next class! Thanks all!
Congratulations Gianluca, your smile & kindness are a great addition to the LAB5 team -- proud to have you in our community.

Who Knew?!
Which is Healthier?
Apple Cider or Sparkling Cider? Apple Cider: Typically this less filtered version carries a touch more fiber. Additionally, the spices in cider (cinnamon, nutmeg, & cloves) are antioxidants. Dark Meat or White Meat? It's a draw: Dark meat has more iron, & twice as much zinc as white meat. But, white meat has about half the fat of drumsticks & thighs. Graham Cracker or Rolled Pie Crusts? Graham cracker pic crusts: these are lower in fat, calories, & can have a little fiber. Whereas, rolled pie crusts contain more butter, sometimes lard---leaving them high in saturated fat. Whole or Jellied Cranberry Sauce? Whole Cranberry Sauce: These tart little berries are full of antioxidants & fiber. Jellied cranberry sauce's main ingredient is juice, which is packed with sugar & strained of nutrients.  Biscuits or Dinner Rolls? Dinner Rolls: We all know that choosing multigrain or wheat is best, but even white rolls are a healthier option than biscuits. Biscuits can be packed with more than twice the fat & calories... yikes. Some may even contain a quarter of the recommended daily sodium intake. |

You are here for so much more!
The holiday season is upon us and we wanted to begin with warm wishes of hope and thanks to you and yours! This is a time when we reflect on our blessings of the past and look with anticipation toward the year ahead.
When we stop looking ahead and only focus day to day, we sometimes lose the power and the momentum that could have been ours to propel us into the next chapter for our continued fitness journey. You were designed to grow, be stretched, recover, restore and continue to move forward.
Deep inside everyone is the DNA of a Champion that knows it was designed for more and continue to grow. LAB5 is here is to help you achieve the maximum regarding your fitness goals.
Everyone may have different fitness goals (i.e. toning, balance, flexibility, range of motion, strength, weight loss, etc.), but it's important for us at LAB5 to help you achieve your desired results. We are here for you!
To go farther, you have to be more, way before you'll ever do more. The way you think, the habits you hold, the way you view yourself is all showing up in our daily life. Our staff and trainers are here to tell and show you there is more!
December is a month to FINISH what you started and FINISH strong... it's also a time to press through when everyone else draws back. A champion knows there is a path and they must stay steady, strong and focused on the path.
Today.... our message for you is simply this.... 2013 is awaiting you... finish 2012 strong and start next year fast! Thank you for your business and support. We are blessed to have such great members and greatly appreciate everyone that is part of the LAB5 community.
