Hard to believe, but another year is in the rearview mirror. Orbit 41, here we come! At FI, we’re not merely getting older; we’re getting better. At least, that’s what we keep telling ourselves. Seriously though, I think I speak for most everyone in the gym, staff and members alike, that we are looking forward to the New Year as another opportunity to live our ethos of continual improvement. Our goal has always been to “Build Bodies that Last,” and our commitment has never wavered. What’s more, we’re excited about the challenges and opportunities of the coming year and look forward to it with unbridled optimism. With that in mind…

Recover from Summer Challenge

Here’s to the Winners

Our annual Fitness Contests bring out the very best in those facing the challenge, and this Fall was no exception. If anything, the contestants saw some of the best results ever, which is a tribute to their hard work and dedication and the guidance of our insanely great Personal Trainers. Unlike the Spring contest, where we score by team, the Fall challenge is scored individually. The top finishers were:

Ellen Bradley, 23.77pts – Trained by Theresa Christensen

(see cover and article)

Patti Snider, 21.37 pts, Trained by Liz Keller

Kim Spinella, 20.88 pts, Trained by Jackie Niciforo

Notable Achievements:

Most Muscle Mass Gained: Antoinette Dumond, 4.6 lbs. Trainer by Jackie Niciforo

Most Body Fat Lost: Kim Spinella, 17.4 lbs. Trainer by Jackie Niciforo

You can see the full results on our website: https://www.fitnessincentive.com/fantastic-four-archive/

Also, be sure to check out Theresa Christensen’s article about training her group, which included the eventual winner, Ellen Bradley, and several other high finishers. For a first-hand Member perspective, check out Barbara Krucher’s article. 

Congratulations to all who participated for a job well done!

Mystery Room Revealed!

If you have been wondering about the mysterious new room we just finished constructing behind the boutique, here’s the news: It’s our new Personal Training Assessment Lab. As we educated and expanded our Personal Training capabilities, we felt that our PT staff needed a dedicated space to meet with and assess new and existing clients. It will complement our Level 3 PT education program, which is just getting underway, and provide room for us to expand our assessment options. Look for more on this soon.

Lots of Bright New Faces!

We’ve been busy bolstering our staff, adding many new faces in the past few weeks, especially in our Mind-Body program. The Spa has also been fortunate to acquire the services of several outstanding Massage Therapists, which we’re very excited about. There are so many that we dedicated an article to them, which you can read here.

Workout for Charity #24

This past Thanksgiving, we held our 24th annual Workout for Charity. Thanks to your generosity, we raised nearly $6000 for Usher’s Syndrome research. You can read more about the event in this issue.

It Wouldn’t be the Holidays Without…

Yes, The Gift that Always Fits

I’m required by law to mention that Fitness Incentive Gift Cards—the gift that always “Fits” (get it?)—are now available at the front desk or instantly online on our website and the FI+ App.

I’m further compelled to mention that Incentive’s Spa Gift Cards are also available. They make a thoughtful, easy, and much-appreciated gift for anyone you know who deserves to be pampered just a bit—or even for yourself if you deem yourself worthy. Get them at the Spa or by clicking here.

Core X CBD Is Hot!

We announced last issue that we were about to release our own CBD product. Well, we did, and people love it! In fact, the first batch quickly sold out! It’s called Core X 4000 and is for sale exclusively at Incentives Spa. Core X is available in three formulations: Balm, Roll-on, and Pump Cream. All three have the highest concentration of CBD available: 4000 mg., along with a pain-relieving icy-mint feel and pleasing aroma. Check it out. You won’t be sorry!

2025 Parking Stickers Have Dropped!

Our 2025 Parking stickers have arrived and are available at the front desk. Get one and apply it to your bumper or rear window. It’s a great way to show people that you belong to LI’s best gym and, more importantly, essential for avoiding Babylon Village parking fines, at least while parked in our lot.

So that’s a wrap—another year in the bag and a new one ascending. Now is the time. Make 2025 your healthiest and fittest year ever. For yourself. For your family. We’re here for you, and as always, together, we’ll make it fit happen.

Happy Holidays from all of us at FI
