| 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.

Faster, Stronger, Fitter – the
Stairclimb Team Needs YOU!!!
Want to be faster? Stronger? Fitter? Try stairclimbing – less impact than running, harder than the elliptical, and more effective than anything you’ve ever done before!

| (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!
