This blog is going to be dedicated to all of our gym family who have replied to us on what you have been up to during quarantine. These are in no particular order. It is nice to see what everyone has been doing!
(Anything in Parenthesis is response from us coaches)
Ed Talarico
I miss all the activity and conversation at the gym and working out at home is just not the same for me. I would like to explain the picture Dan posted of me doing my home workout. I was in between sets of Superman’s and was just resting, not annihilated from my workout. (Yea, sure Ed…) Being a retired person, nothing has changed all that much for me through all of this. I have many house projects that keep me busy and of course there is now the outside work to do. When I'm not doing any of that, I work on clocks in my garage. Stay healthy and happy!

I’m still working from home as usual. Times are strange. We have been doing landscaping and glad we don’t have anywhere else to be really because it’s a time consuming job-moving rock. Thanks to you guys for my workouts. I’m pleased that I can do them at home. I even have one of those roller things (ugh) to use and I did yesterday. Sore today as usual after a BB workout! Stay safe!

It's a pleasure to see how other people are coping with STAY AT HOME. I chuckle at you and Nicole enjoying table games together. Should Bob and I try that there would be blood. At our wedding we were given a gag gift of Checkers. On our honeymoon we learned quickly that we can't compete against each other in Checkers: certainly not Monopoly or Rummicube. Right now Bob watches tv in the evening, I work on a 1000 piece puzzle. Or knit. Or order stuff on Amazon!! (Don’t we all order stuff now… haha)
Francesca Gurecka
I wanted to say “hi” and let you know I’m fine and enjoying a much less crazy busy life! I’ve created a mini-Phipps in my new sunroom with orchids galore, I love being outside on long walks with Kevin and dark chocolate. (Coach Joey loves dark chocolate also) I do miss you guys and hope we can get back to workouts as soon as is safe. The sun is out and it’s finally warmish, so hope Nik is out throwing something!

I really miss you guys and my workout buddies. I'm trying to stay active. I watch the videos that you have on the website and try to implement them in my at home workouts. Thank you for those. As for me, I've been reading a lot as well. I just started my 4th book. I just started to re-watch the West Wing on Netflix. It's a great show! (Coach Joey agrees that it is a great show!) It's amazing how much you miss something like the gym and people like family when you can't go and see them. Take Care!

Besides your workout, my yoga teacher made 2 videos we could do at home. She also sends us inspirational/meditation passages. I’m cooking and eating way too much. Besides grocery shopping and walks around the neighborhood, me and the kids are cooped up in the house. Binge watched the second season of Killing Eve and rewatching Scrubs. I’m looking forward to my weekly exercise.
