Weekly Updates Archives - Personal Trainer Charleston, Mt. Pleasant, Meredith Nelson, Primetime Fitness

If your teen is playing sports, wanting to experience the gym, or simply needs to get off the couch, let us know. We’re trying to get a teen group started.

This group would give your kids a great learning experience, addressing form and technique, along with building good habits for future health and fitness.

The cost would be $20 per teen, and $15 for each additional child from the same family. Tentative schedule is Monday and/or Wednesday at 4 p.m. for 30 minutes. Three teens minimum; if we can get four we can extend the time to one hour.

Our PrimeTime Team of climbers is growing! Our nine-man team will be climbing 50 flights of steps at 191 Peachtree Tower on April 18 to raise money for the American Lung Association, in memory of past member Ruth Uhlmann. Won’t you donate to our team today? Go towww.mrsnv.com to donate to “Team PrimeTime.”

The deadline has passed to sign up for Spring Training, but it’s not too late to reserve your space – rsvp now!

Mondays and Fridays: 30-minute spin followed by 30-minute workout with a trainer

For both the 6:30 and 8:30 spring training, you may participate in individual workouts, without committing to the entire month, for $20 per workout.

Group runs will also be held on Tuesdays at 6:30 a.m., 8:00 a.m., and 9:30 a.m., departing from PrimeTime Fitness. Anyone can participate at no charge. Participation in the group runs is strongly encouraged to enhance the rest of your workouts.

The push-up team is in training too – for the annual “Push-Up The Boys and Girls Clubs” push-up challenge on April 25. Pledge sheets will be available soon for you to make a pledge to support your favorite trainer or the entire team! Team PrimeTime will be up against nine other teams from local gyms, so mark your calendar to come out and watch this FUN event in the park on Sullivan’s Island!

OK – it’s not fitness related but it CAN help make the world a better place!

World Wildlife Fund is asking individuals, businesses, governments and organizations around the world to turn off their lights for one hour – Earth Hour – to make a global statement of concern about climate change and to demonstrate commitment to finding solutions.

Expo, in person, and mail-in registration also available – see website for info.
