Thank you to everyone that came to the Rescue Run 2018! Biggest turn out yet! First I want to say great job everyone I know how hard that was. I also know that no one has to come to these crazy events!It was close to 17 miles of trail running up hills some took alternate routes that cut the mileage down a bit. That doesn’t matter though; the important thing is that we laced up the shoes and went for it! A part of me want to individually mention all the people that came- some cried some were so happy that they made it through others you can tell they felt accomplished it is truly an event that pushes you to the brink of what you are capable of and I’m very proud of everyone that suffered with me today!
Everyone is so excited for the Rescue Run a nice clown even said he would volunteer his services to mark the trail with balloons 🎈! It’s kind people like this that that make this event so fun! We leave Plymouth Levels at noon today come along!

It’s time for Brucifers Women’s Weightloss Class! Over the past few months I have constantly had something on my mind. Results!! So I decided that I’m starting a new women’s class after the gym closes Mon and Wed nights at 8pm! This will allow me give you my undivided attention I’m not going to sugar coat what this is all about and say this will be fun for the participants it won’t be. I will say that it will be hard and uncensored what ever it takes to make you change your lifestyle eat healthy and workout! I’m looking to see a group of ladies dramatically change their life! The cost of the class is $30 a month as of right now it is slated to run for 2 months but might continue on after. It will start May 21st.You also have to become a member of the gym if you aren’t currently.Once you are in the class you are expected to be here( no skipping!) A meal plan will be provided along with weighing in and measuring their will also be other rules. Send me a message if you want to get involved I’m looking for people that are hungry and motivated...... think about it class size is limited!
Barre class is coming to Monday nights at 5:30pm at Willard Levels! This will be the classes new home through the summer for anyone looking to try something different come on by the first one is free! Non member $5 member just $3 !
Sunday May 20th a giant group will be heading to Mohican to do The Rescue Run (part 6)This free event is open to anyone that wants to come and and challenge themselves it's not a race it's about completion running and walking is just fine.We will be leaving from the Plymouth Levels at noon and heading to the park entrance Mohican-Memorial State Forest, 3116 OH-3, Loudonville, OH 44842 arrival time of 1pm. Bring water and snacks we will have water at the half way point for anyone that needs it.The Rescue Run got its name because 6 years ago I had this fairly naive idea that we would have a trail run in Mohican I didn't know the trails very well but I thought it would be ok poor directions unclear maps and a storm that possibly knocked a sign down led to disaster that year we went off course and became trapped in the woods it became dark people were hungry cell phone service was scarce. We eventually reached a park ranger that rescued us on an access road we went about 20+ miles that year and it was the hardest thing physically I have done..... Some people were angry with me after that night others it changed their life and their focus of what they like to do for fun! All in all it was pretty amazing lol! This year won't be 20 miles I'm shooting for 9-12 don't let that scare you off from coming though if you need to walk that is fine I don't leave until everyone is out of the woods! So if your looking for a challenge with a fun group send me a message to get added to the list! Looking forward to seeing a ton of cars parked in Plymouth that Sunday ready to go! So far we have 21 people signed up and committed to go from walkers to runners ! Well what are you waiting for????? (Update) we will be getting tank tops men and womens for this event available at cost to make them if you let us know you want one.

Jason Porter is the winner for our winter weightloss challenge! He lost almost 10percent of his body weight in this challenge . He has been a member for years now and even participated in our very first weightloss challenge in 2011! He has come along way from when he started and it looks like it has become a lifestyle change with him and his wife Kitty becoming a lot more active and interested in fitness. They are always killing it in the gym which I love to see couples workout and challenge each other like they are doing. When I was taking Jason’s after picture he was joking around posing and I’m sure he will kill me for posting this one but I think the results show I couldn’t resist! Here is what Jason wrote! I am a food addict. I love it all: healthy, bad, low fat, high fat, carbs, protein. If it’s there, I’ll eat it. After the first challenge, I entered every year to help focus on losing the winter weight. I focused more this time on food control more than working out because I know I can kill myself in the gym. (Example: Airdyne) The goal is to see my abs this year so that is when another pic will show up. Thanks to all of my motivators over the years for keeping me focused most of the time. This will be my last weight loss challenge as I plan on staying at my goal weight.
The winner of our winter weightloss challenge is Tammy Mahl! Great job Tammy I know how hard you worked these past 3 months you look great! She lost almost 21% of her body weight!Here is what she wrote. When Bruce first talked to me about joining the weight loss challenge, shortly after rejoining the gym for the third time, I was interested but leary. I had gained weight over the last 2 years and was at my highest since getting pregnant with my now 16 yr old dtr. I have 3 children and with each pregnancy, I was able to lose the weight after but gradually it piled on. I was really unhappy with how I looked, felt and acted. I had no energy to do things after work. I love going to my daughters sporting events, etc and didn’t miss those but had no ambition for other things. My sister in law joined around the same time and we decided to give it a try. Bruce and I discussed that I would probably need to lose around 30# to be competitive in the challenge. I wasn’t sure I had it in me to really lose that much. I had never really had a hard time losing the 10# I gained over the winters but in the last few years with age and metabolism I couldn’t seem to lose 5# and keep it off. I am a very competitive person and headed into the challenge all set to push myself. I hit the gym 5 days/wk, starting doing weight watchers and increasing my water. I did really well in the beginning. Lost 10 lbs quickly. Then I stalled and decided I would try eating more protein and counting calories. That seemed to work! Week after week Bruce would encourage (push lol) me to “step it up” a bit and I did. My goal was 125# and with a lot of sweat that last night I made it. Now to keep it off……….
