Great Hockey Resource

I have had the pleasure of chatting with Coach Chic over the past few weeks. This morning I spent some time on his website. The information found there is invaluable. I believe that great players need great coaches and that coaching is a unique skill. Coach Chic has a way of translating information in his radio show, that is clear, easy to understand and easy to follow. We tested it out!

When you go looking for a resource for training, for hockey of course, but also for other sports, take a look and listen to Coach Chic.

Working Out

With the new Curves Smart Program, the Curves Langley club has been busier than ever.

The new program monitors the client’s reps and strength and helps the client be more consistent in their workout.  Clients are working harder than ever before and the Curves Smart is pushing them to achieve even more.

Curves has always been a woman’s gym – generally catering to the 40+ crowd.  With the new and very effective Curves Smart Program – EVERYONE is working harder!

An interesting side effect of this was that Curves now smelt like a gym!

 

After listening to clients complain about this, I talked with Wendy and we tried an experiment.

 

2 sets of SportzGemz (6 pouches) were placed around the club.  OVERNIGHT the smell was GONE! and it hasn’t been back.

I’ve even had visiting clients, from other clubs, comment!  

SportzGemz are fantastic.
