| NO PARKING?
You may not have noticed the new “NO PARKING” signs on Middle Street, but a ticket will get your attention! Please note that there is now no parking allowed on the block between Station 21 and Station 22 on the side of the street opposite from the gym.
Parking is still allowed on the same side as PrimeTime.
(Also, be careful – there is no longer any parking between Station 22 and Station 22 1/2 on our side of the street – in front of Poe’s!)
Want to avoid the chance of a parking ticket, and get guaranteed front space parking? Ride your bike!

Myofascial Release Workshop
Saturday, July 11
9:00 – 10:30
$35pp
You’ve probably seen foam rollers in the gym, and maybe you’ve experimented with them and other methods of release work. But do you REALLY know how to get the most out of those long pieces of foam or plastic or those knobby little balls?
CLICK HERE TO RESERVE YOUR SPOT – space is limited to only 8 so sign up today!
Join former PrimeTimer Alli Shuttleworth (below) as she guides you through using those devices to minimize tension, stress, and pain.
Myofascial release breaks up rigid dehydrated muscle tissue and helps to restore it to its normal function. Normal function means your muscles are elastic, hydrated, healthy, and ready to perform at a moment’s notice. This method is often performed with a foam roller, lacrosse ball, or tennis ball. Release work helps revive your circulation and gives it a boosts, helping to relieve tension and pain
in your body.
Below are the results you can expect to see from Release work:
* Improved circulation
* Increased blood flow
* Reduced muscle tightness and muscle pain
* Increased mobility and flexibility
CLICK HERE TO RESERVE YOUR SPOT – space is limited to only 8 so sign up today!

Another Successful Boot Camp!
Boot Camp at PrimeTime was the real deal on Friday, May 22, when Sarah’s fiance Ryan came to visit! Ryan, a former Marine Drill Sargeant, put the troops to the test! Some of the 8:00 a.m. recruits hung around after their workout for a photo with Sargeant Wilson.

| (Staff) Member Spotlight – Tonia Heidenreich
 When Tonia Heidenreich first joined PrimeTime in January 2002, we knew we had found a true gem. A former professional ballerina turned Pilates instructor, Tonia is talent, personality, charm and grace all rolled into one (well, grace sometimes 🙂
We’ve seen Tonia through it all – marriage, creating a business (Tonia is a former owner of The Loft Pilates Studio downtown), the the birth of twins, Cadence and Ronan, who are almost 10 years old, teaching Pilates in local studios, and now her return to the world of ballet, this time as an instructor. Throughout all these life adventures, Tonia has managed to maintain a respectable workout schedule every week with Meredith and various workout partners.
Now you can catch Tonia back on the instructor’s mat at PrimeTime, as she teaches an occasional Mat Class on Thursday mornings at 8 a.m. A great way to strengthen and tone (especially the core muscles), stretch, and correct postural imbalances, Tonia’s Mat Class is perfect for anyone – gentle enough for even the deconditioned, yet challenging enough for athletes.
Want to try Tonia’s Mat Class? Click here to sign up!

(Staff) Member Spotlight –
Joey Frazier
Joey (rt) and Lukas Koepke take a break during a recent workout.
If you don’t believe in karma, then you haven’t heard about Joey Frazier. He walked through the doors of PrimeTime Fitness at just the right time and so far has been a great fit!
Originally from North Wilkesboro, NC, Joey has moved around quite a bit. After 25 years in Charlotte, then making stops in Seattle, Charleston, and Annapolis, he and his wife have finally returned to Charleston. Joey has a background in sports performance and owned his own sports training facility, Dynamic Balance Sports, in Charlotte. But that doesn’t mean he only trains athletes – Joey also works with clients on improving their functional, everyday movement patterns.
Joey’s own interest in fitness began when he was heavily involved in football and basketball. Loving sports, and hating to lose, Joey often hit the gym. He now specializes in sports performance, and even believes “there is at least a little bit of athlete in all of us.” Unlike in the past, when he worked out to win in his sport, Joey’s lifestyle now is such that working out is a given and just a regular part of his day. His favorite forms of exercise are resistance training and plyometrics. For cardio, he prefers interval training (see our section on cardiovascular training!). He holds a certification in Personal Training through the International Sports Science Association and is CPR certified.
When Joey came to PrimeTime, he was pleased to find just what he was looking for – a place where he could get to know the members and work closely with his clients. He enjoys the friendly atmosphere which he finds intimate yet professional.
When he’s not in the gym, you might find Joey enjoying the local music scene, restaurant hopping (he used to be a sommelier in the food and beverage industry), or hanging out at the beach with his dogs – a sheltie, Deuce, and a rescue, Ginger (Frosty the cat prefers to stay at home). His wife, Peggy, VP of Talent Acquisition at Blackbaud, sometimes even tags along! And if you ever notice his name absent on the Trainer Availability e-mails, it might be because he ventures up to North Wilkesboro, NC every now and then to help his dad on his farm.
Joey has a few words of wisdom to offer to us all. As Jim Valvano once said, “Don’t give up. Don’t ever give up.”
Well said, Joey! And welcome to the PrimeTime Team! We’re so glad to have you!

| Why You Should Care about Cardio
 As trainers, we see it all the time. Gym members forego time on the treadmill in favor of moving some metal around in the weight room. Some people “get bored” on the elliptical – lifting weights is so much more interesting. Others “can’t stand” indoor cycling and opt instead for bicep curls and squats. However, endurance training is important for aerobic stamina and cardiovascular health. Whether you choose to do your cardio component indoors or out, check out this article to learn why cardio training is so important, and how to take a more effective approach.

Staff Recipe File – Meredith’s Choco-nana “Ice Cream”
If you are looking for non-dairy, non-fat, and gluten-free desserts to enjoy during warmer weather, this one is for you! And did we mention it is oh-so-easy?!
- One banana, sliced
- One tsp of sugar-free hot chocolate mix
- Optional: one tsp or less of all-natural peanut butter
Freeze the banana slices for two to three hours.
Combine frozen banana with remaining ingredients in a blender; blend until smooth.
If desired, garnish with a sprinkle of extra hot chocolate mix, chocolate shavings, or a dash of cinnamon.
Makes two servings of creamy, dreamy, banana-chocolate “soft serve ice cream!” Enjoy!

Two National Days to “Celebrate” this Month!
April 9 – National Alcohol Screening DayNational Alcohol Screening Day (NASD) is an outreach, education, and screening initiative that raises awareness about harmful and dependent drinking behaviors and connects individuals who are at risk with treatment options. NASD is held annually on Thursday of the first full week of April. Thousands of colleges, community-based organizations, and military installations provide the program to the public each year.It’s possible to have a problem with alcohol without having an alcohol problem. If you are concerned about your drinking patterns, take time on this day to complete a short anonymous online screening. Click here to begin!
April 23 – National Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work(out) Day
According to the Take Our Daughters And Sons To Work website, the program goes beyond “shadowing” an adult. “Exposing girls and boys to what a parent or mentor in their lives does during the work day is important, but showing them the value of their education, helping them discover the power and possibilities associated with a balanced work and family life, and providing them an opportunity to share how they envision the future and begin steps toward their end goals in a hands-on and interactive environment is key to their achieving success.”Here at PrimeTime Fitness we invite you to go one step further, and bring your kids with you to workout. Allowing your daughters and sons – no matter what their ages – to experience your healthy lifestyle right along with you is more than a learning opportunity; it gives you quality time together doing something active and fun.So on the fourth Thursday of the month, take your daughters and sons to work, and then bring them to the gym to workout! |

| Member Spotlight –
 You may not recognize him off the tennis court, but Rob Havens is becoming a regular at PrimeTime as well. Officially joining the gym just this past January, Rob has actually been a member of the PrimeTime team for a while. Helping out during Spring Training and Boot Camp last year by teaching Cardio Tennis, Rob has gradually worked his way indoors and you may now very well spot him working out with a personal trainer alone or with some of his tennis students.
Rob has come to learn the importance of staying in shape and working out to help him excel on the court while teaching lessons, and the convenience and staff at PrimeTime make it easy for him to enjoy his workouts. Not to mention the results – when he first began at PrimeTime several months ago, his fitness was declining and his performance on the court was suffering. Now, several workouts and a half-marathon later, Rob says he can definitely feel a difference in his endurance.
When he isn’t at PrimeTime or on the tennis court, you might find Rob shooting paint balls, playing ping pong, skim boarding, or shark tooth hunting. Another place you just might find Rob is in the kitchen – a little-known fact about him is that Rob loves to cook! He recently has also discovered that he likes to run, and completed the Kiawah 1/2-Marathon last December in an 1:41 – not bad for someone who just took up running!
Rob is ready to
run his first 1/2-Marathon!
Rob has always lived on Sullivan’s Island where his family has been for 25 years. Now he’s working on the island too – his business “Fast Forward Tennis” is taking off quickly! His entire family is very supportive of each other in their own athletic endeavors and Rob is extremely grateful for their support. Always encouraging others himself, Rob offers these words of wisdom: “Never give up, strive to be the best you can be everyday, and be active in your community.”
Thanks for all you do, Rob! And keep up the good work – we love to see your efforts paying off!
Want to book a lesson with Rob? Call him at 843-557-5257!

| March “fourth,” young children – it’s National Walk-to-School Day!
Sullivan’s Island Elementary School is celebrating National Walk-To-School day on March 4! Students who live close enough are encouraged to walk to school with their parents, while those who don’t live within walking distance are invited to meet at PrimeTime Fitness, 2120 Middle Street, at 7:00 a.m. that morning to walk together!
Parents, please join your children in celebrating National Walk-To-School Day by making the trek to school on foot. For those of you meeting at PrimeTime Fitness, the parking lot of SALT at Station 22 – across from PrimeTime Fitness – will be open just for you to leave your car for the (approximately) 30 minutes you will be gone.
 Some tips for walking safely to school:
- Cross the street at intersections or crosswalks
- Look left, right, and left again before crossing
- Walk in pairs or groups
- Form a walking school bus/bike train (supervised group of children walking/biking to school)
- Don’t talk to or take rides from strangers
- Wear bright and/or reflective clothing, especially in the early morning or late afternoon

WHAT’S IN YOUR LUNCHBOX?
MARCH 10 is National Take-Your-Lunch-to-Work Day!
 Constantly shelling out cash to buy your lunch adds up . . . as do the extra pounds you are likely to accumulate when you rely on restaurant fare or
fast food. When others prepare your food, you have no idea what’s really on your plate!
We encourage you to take charge of the ingredients that fuel your body and mind for the second half of your work day . . . Celebrate National Take-Your-Lunch-to-Work Day on Tuesday, March 10 by putting just a few minutes into preparing a lunch the night before. Your scale and your wallet will thank you!

PrimeTimers sweep the racing scene!
Eleanor Ross celebrates her Age Group win at the LifePoint 5K!
The last weekend of February was pretty rewarding for lots of us at PrimeTime, as eight PrimeTimers competed in local 5K’s and took home age-group awards!
On Saturday, 13-year-old Eleanor Ross won her age group in the LifePoint 5K on James Island. Also on Saturday, Mark and Meredith, along with Bobby Cummings, participated in the Tree Church 5K at the new Laurel Hill County Park, where all three of them earned an age group award!
And on Sunday at the Race and Roast 5K at Oakland Plantation, some of our early birds in the 6:30 a.m. Group X workout – Mike Carter, Diane Juras, and Carlin Timmons – all brought home age group awards!

The Cooper River Bridge Run is right around the corner. It’s a week earlier than usual this year, so don’t let it sneak up on you!
As always the Charleston Running Club will be hosting a post-race brunch in the CRC tent in Marion Square following the race. Catered by Chef Brannon Florie of The Granary and On 41, the brunch is definitely a great reward after you “Get Over It!” But you have to be a member of the CRC to enjoy the brunch for free – well worth the $20 annual membership fee! Guests are welcome at the brunch for $10.
