As a national fitness presenter and the Fitness/Dance Supervisor at the YMCA in Saint Joseph, MI for over 15 years, I've seen many fitness products and programs come and go. Most lack the staying power to succeed in the fitness industry. It's not often that you find something that can offer such a diverse array of benefits to the user...Balance, Cardio, Strength and Flexibility to name a few.
Beaming™ is transcending the fitness industry!The YMCA has been offering Beaming™ programs since January 2010. Foundational Beaming™ BEAM-LATES, and Integrated Yoga using the Beam. All three programs have been exciting new additions and continue to grow. In the past 3 months, I have seen astonishing results with our members. They have more strength, cardiovascular endurance and best of all they are feeling wonderful.Members say that Beaming™has a positive effect on their life and the choices they now make. They have become more optimistic, confident, less moody, and have had fewer days where they feel down. This is very important, especially in our part of Southwest Michigan when, during the winter months, it's common for the sun not to shine for weeks at a time. This in itself can have a negative effect one's outlook on life. I really feel that Beaming™is training them to be better at everything they do! They just love it! Most members come to more than one class that's offered. It's common to find participants who enjoy one mind and body program over another such as Yoga or Pilates. Not with Beaming™! Many members take both BEAM-LATES and the Integrated Yoga, enjoying them each just as much.The Beam itself has also been integrated into our Dance Program as well. I started as a dancer so flexibility, strength and balance were essential in my dance training. Using the Beam especially in the Ballet and Lyrical Ballet classes has contributed outstanding results to the dancers. The student's technique has developed much faster integrating the Beam, which has helped them to develop the muscles needed to support the core. Bottom line....Beaming™is here to stay and there are endless creative possibilities!

We were in the car driving home, talking about how information flies at us so quickly nowadays. Through the invention of sites like Facebook and Myspace, we are deterred from keeping in touch with people via telephone. People, us included, have relied heavily on these types of sites telling their story. But at the same time, that information is limited. You are only getting the smallest portion of a story, activity or event.Then our conversation quickly changed to how we both needed to call our family in California to update them on our Sectionals experience. However, we all dread the same thing: having the same conversation with each member of our family. I mean Jonathan has 5 siblings! That can be tedious! That night, Jonathan literally had the SAME conversation with three of his family members, trying to explain to them what Crossfit is and what makes him so passionate about the training.We thought about explaining to our family and friends how living in Austin and being exposed to Crossfit has changed our perception of life. Even our closest friends in Austin constantly ask us about Crossfit.
