Starting in January “The Ladies Weight Loss Group” will be meeting once a week in the lobby at East. We are currently working on adding aerobic Zumba with Linda and Janet. Also we are working on Linda Neason Downs teaching Ballroom Dance on Saturdays. Linda previously owned her own dance studio. We are looking forward to a Bigger and Better year as our family grows!

Solomon is one of our Weight room employees who had worked here for the last couple of years. Solomon is on his way to play football with the Florida Gators! Solomon was a local football star who has won many honors in football and recently graduated from Murphy High School to start college early. We know we will be hearing your name often and we wish you the best of luck in all that you do. Congratulations Solomon!

MOBILE, Ala. -- Cook, a personal trainer at Sportplex in west Mobile, gets to meet a lot of new people this time of year, but he may not know them for long.

"They'll be pushing to get that weight off for the next couple months," Cook said. "Then it starts to wean off. You'll see who's serious and who's not. The ones who are serious are the ones who started before the new year."
