A Message from Heather... Juggling Work, Home & Exercise
Ever since opening Vie I have heard clients talk about the challenge of fitting in their workouts between jobs, kids and home life. Now I finally understand! The past couple of months with Oscar have been amazing, but it's definitely a challenge to juggle everything. Gone are the leisurely lunches with friends - instead it's running from Vie back home at lunchtime to feed the baby! Carsten and I are working together to keep all the balls in the air, and so far so good.

Making exercise a priority is the only way to be consistent. At Vie, we try to make it as easy as possible to stay on top of your workout schedule. Standing appointments each week help to make your workout as important as a meeting. Your trainer can create a cardio-strength-flexibility calander so your exercise stays well-balanced. The laundry service we offer assures you'll never forget your clothes. We can have a juice or smoothie ready for you after your workout, and we'll even feed your meter if you're running overtime.

Planning ahead, making an appointment and sticking to it will help us all reach our fitness goals and still leave time to devote to careers and family.

Take Advantange of Our Cardio Equipment
If you are looking to lose a few extra pounds and increase your aerobic capacity, remember to take advantage of our cardio equipment between your personal training appointments. Clients who train at least once a week with a trainer are welcome to come in anytime for a cardio work out.

Get out of the cold and mix it up with the elliptical trainer, treadmill, recumbent bike, and for a new challenge, our stair climber. Please be aware that clients who are scheduled for their training session have first priority on the cardio equipment. Our less busy times are between 1:00 PM and 4:00 PM and on the weekends, but stop in at your convenience - there is usually something available. We look forward to seeing you!

15% Off New Vie Hoodies!

Arrive to your workout in style with our new Vie hoodies. We have two different kinds - a thick, warm zip-up to keep you toasty, or our light cotton half zip-up hoodie. Both look great enough to take you from the gym to running errands around town. Our thick hoodies come in white and are $29.75, and our light-weight hoodies, available in black or white, are $21.50. This is 15% off the regular price for February. Check them out at the front desk next time you're in!

Stop in After Work for Our Evening Classes
We're offering more evening classes than ever for those of you who like to exercise after work. In fact, you could do a different class every night of the week. Choose from Boxerfit, RussaYog, Spilates, Srength & Conditioning and Vie Bar. Add a night of Spinning to the mix and you'll give your body a perfect blend of strength, cardio, balance and flexibility.

Classes are offered between 5:15 PM and 8:00 PM. One semi-private package is good for most of the classes (Spinning is its own package). Pick up a scedule next time you're in, or visit our online schedule.

Raw Juice of the Month: Orange Wave
A healthy blend of fresh carrot and orange juice combine together to make our Orange Wave. Fresh juice is loaded with minerals, vitamins, essential fatty acids, carbohydrates, proteins and much more.

All of these factors are vital to maintaining good health. In fact, we obtain the maximum benefits from fruits and vegetables when they are juiced. Drinking fresh juice provides a quick and easy way to increase your consumption of fruits and vegetables. Enjoy our Orange Wave at 15% off in February.

Try Our Favorite Protein Bar: Daryl Bars There is a reason why we carry Daryl Bars as our only protein bar - they are fresh, healthy, nutritious and simply delicious. Natural, wholesome ingredients like oats, peanut butter, cranberries and whey protein make up these bars. You can even get them with a thin layer of dark chocolate on top for a treat. Daryl bars are low in sugar and fat and high in protein. Ask for a free sample at the front desk - we are positive you will love these bars!

Recipe of the Month: Healthy Stuffed Red Peppers
These peppers are vegetarian, but the brown rice and black beans provide fiber and protein. If you want to add meat, you can substitute cooked, lean ground turkey for some of the rice.

4 red bell peppers
2 1/2 cups cooked brown rice
1 15 oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed
3/4 cup low-fat feta cheese, crumbled
3/4 cup salsa

1. Cut the tops off peppers and clean out seeds
2. Place the peppers upright in a large pot with a little water and simmer, covered, about 10 minutes until peppers are slightly soft.
3. Meanwhile, mix together rice, beans, feta and salsa.
4. Stuff each pepper with rice mixture, and place upright in large pot. Pour a little salsa in the bottom.
5. Cook at 350 degrees about 25 minutes until peppers are soft and filling is hot.
6. Serve with salsa and low-fat sour cream.
