After a short retirement stint, including just enough time here at IM=X Pilates Blue Bell to get to know and love her, our own Courtney Copper is headed back to the Big Apple! “Being on stage again this past summer lit the fire in me again and I am heading back to the dance world,” she explains, and we are proud, disappointed and happy for her, all at the same time.

Courtney will remain at IM=X Blue Bell through December, but come the New Year she’s making her new start. She promises to keep us up-to-date on her successful auditions, and even her forays onto the screen- she’s going to look for an agent to get her dancin’-self onto commercials, etc.

Congratulations, Courtney, and we wish you all the very best. Break a leg!

It’s October, and that means Breast Cancer Awareness Month has rolled around again, and with it IM=X Pilates Blue Bell’s participation in Pilates for Pink. By popular demand, the in-studio Breast Cancer Challenge has also returned!

• 5 minutes are given at the end of each class for those who want to take part in the challenge
• A LARGE chart on the studio wall lists exercises ranging from leg presses to pushups, and each repetition is worth small change, from $0.01 to $0.25
• Doing some extra moves earns the Breast Cancer Research Foundation donations!
• Set a personal goal for yourself- for example, how many pushups can you REALLY do??
• Get others to sponsor you- friends, family, coworker, employers can all pledge an amount towards your pain efforts
• Get competitive with other clients who are racking up the highest numbers for a good cause

Also returned this month is Breast Cancer apparel. Long sleeves, short sleeves, polos, tanks, hoodies, and other options are available with either the pink ribbon logo, or for the more outgoing, “boobies” across the chest! Each shirt says “Pilates for Pink at IM=X Blue Bell” on the back, and $5 will be donated to the BCRF for each purchase.

Finally, donation-based semi-private classes are also available for you and your friends. Pick a time, schedule with IM=X Pilates Blue Bell, and donate as much as you please to the studio’s Pilates for Pink efforts. This is a great way to support a friend battling cancer, to honor the memory of those taken by cancer, and to introduce your friends to IM=X Pilates Blue Bell. No experience is required, and the classes are limited to 4 participants each.
