Dear wonderful past & present Jana’s Jym members, Oct 26, 2009
I have always believed that “Jana’s Jym” was inspired in my heart by God. It has long been my heart’s desire to make my “work” life a life of teaching, inspiring, and encouraging people to improve their physical well-being. I have prayed about the best ways to make Jana’s Jym be a successful way to accomplish this. As you all know, financial constraints and time constraints prevent many people from exercising at a gym. Due to these issues, Jana’s Jym has experienced a 50% decline in revenue from Jym memberships for the last several months. As we hadn’t quite reached the break-even point yet, this has hurt tremendously. I can no longer afford to keep the Jym open in it’s present manner. The vast majority of our members attend in the evenings and early mornings and most of you come for classes. I am doing my best to keep that available.
Effective November 1st, Jana’s Jym will be open from 7:00 - 10:00 am and from 4:30 - 8:00 pm Monday - Friday, and 8:00 - 11:00 am on Saturdays. These hours may change again if I am not successful in my hunt for part-time income. At least temporarily, if you wish to use the Jym during the day, I will be happy to meet you here at whatever time we can arrange.
Because of the drop in hours, I am reducing the membership fee to $25/month which still includes all our regularly scheduled classes. You ladies who are 60 or Better, will still pay only $20/month.
In addition to looking for part-time work during the day, I am also seeking clients who would like to improve their health but don’t want to go to a gym. I have always offered in-home or in-office appointments for personal training and wellness coaching but am now hoping to reach out more with this. In the past I have worked with a variety of needs from home-based clients. Some find their best success with a twice a week appointment and some choose to meet only once a month or quarter. A typical wellness coaching session is a focused planning session that gives a client a specific plan for making change, limiting the scope of change to what is realistically feasible at this point in time, and the means to achieve that change. Wellness coaching results more often intrue healthy lifestyle behaviors and longterm success. A personal training session is a trainer guided exercise session with client’s goals as the focus. If a client wants to exercise but is not sure what to do to start seeing results, then personal training can be quite valuable. Personal Training is also helpful in breaking out of a rut or overcoming a plateau in your goals.
If you know of anyone who might benefit from either of these services, please let them call me or ask if I may call them.
Statistics say that only 15% of the population exercises at a gym. The remaining 85% either exercise at home or don’t exercise at all. I want to encourage them in that they can be healthier and they can be fitter and they can reduce the risk of early death or disease and they can improve their health even if they already have disease.
I appreciate your friendship and your business - Thank you all very much!
