In recent weeks, the IM=X Pilates Blue Bell has had the opportunity to get involved in some charity events outside the studio. Thanks to all who were involved behind-the-scenes.

Saturday, May 9 2009:  IM=X Pilates Blue Bell client Betsi invited studio-goers to a night of bowling to benefit Friends of Hospice. We had a great time!

Sunday, May 17 2009: Versa Fit Studio hosted a Flyers Wives Fight For Lives charity workout class on the Vibe Machine with Flyers goalie Antero Niittymaki and his wife Miina. They were wonderful, the studio was beautiful, and the Vibe Machine is killer!

Several IM=X Pilates Blue Bell clients finished the Broad Street Run on a very rainy May 3, 2009. Photos are available online for runners, but we can’t post them here- they’re proofs available for purchasing, not linking! If anyone has pictures to share, we’d love to see them. Great job Jill, Valeria, Laurie, and first-timers Jen and Dawn! (Please please let us know if you ran and we didn’t mention you!)

Today is a day to appreciate where we all live. It’s super easy to take tiny steps to protect this place, that aren’t at all inconvenient! Idealbite.com tells us that “If you replace ten 100W light bulbs with CFLs, you’ll reduce the same amount of CO2 that an SUV emits over a year” and “by replacing a 100-watt bulb with its CFL equivalent, you’ll save $100+ in electricity costs over the lifetime of each bulb.” (read it here)

IM=X Pilates Blue Bell tries to do its part, too. We’re fans of shutting lights off, opening windows, using recycled printer paper, and using PECO wind energy. We encourage you to try a few simple changes too.

PENN-DOT has begun working on Route 202/DeKalb Pike in the area of the Route 476/Northeast Extension overpass. The stretch of highway directly in front of IM=X Pilates Blue Bell is smack in the middle of the construction zone, so be sure to allow some extra time to get to class. One lane is being intermittently closed throughout the day, and traffic is traveling more slowly than usual, so expect delays. ALSO have some extra patience when leaving the parking lot! Other drivers aren’t always known for their own patience, common sense, and ability to remain between the lines.

We are looking forward to visits from you, and from those friends you’ve been telling us about- the ones who’ve been back and forth with the idea of coming in for a free IM=X Pilates Intro.  Here’s their chance to see what you do!

If you are interested in Bob Hyer’s services, he comes highly recommended by our own Kathy C. : “I have worked with him as a vendor at the hospital for several years, and he is very ethical and honest.” He is licensed through the Montgomery County Sherrif’s Department, and he will need your driver’s license information to complete any transaction.

IN OTHER NEWS:
Raise your hand if you think Jim’s a little crazy… Yep, that’s lots of you! Well, to add fuel to the fire, here’s where he’ll be this weekend- The 22nd Annual Wawa Stair Climb
Another crazy client talked him into joining her-we haven’t asked her permission so we won’t mention her by name yet- and they will be racing up 1,019 stairs in the 53-floor Mellon Bank Center on Market Street in Philadelphia on Sunday February 22. The race, benefiting the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, will begin at 9 am. If anyone’s in the city, come by and cheer them on- and help carry Paula back to the car, since she’ll be exhausted just watching them!

Edited to add: Now that we have permission, we’ll tell you it’s JILL who talked Jim into the stair climb. It’s JILL who’s the other crazy one! Read her comment below!
