Our theme as of late has been superheros. We've celebrated your heroic accomplishments and gloated in the role we have played in your success. We would like to throw out our own challenge for you.
A friend of Fluid Fitness is in need of a hero or at least the heart of one. Eleven year-old Shannon Tavarez, who has played "Young Nala" in Disney's The Lion King on Broadway, was diagnosed with blood cancer in April. She is in great need of a life-saving bone marrow transplant and we are doing our part to make her search for a matching donor a success.
There are several ways you can help:
1. Join the Broadway community for a bone marrow drive:
Friday, July 23rd
10 AM - 3 PM
Minskoff Theatre (Lion King's home)
200 W 45th Street, NYC
2. Register on line as a bone marrow donor. (http://www.dkmsamericas.org/home)
3. Donate money. One hundred percent of your tax deductable contribution will go to registering bone marrow donors. (https://www.dkmsamericas.org/dkms-donation-form)
DKMS Americas is a non profit organization that recruits bone marrow donors for leukemia patients. Only 10% of patients get the donations they need and DKMS is dedicated to changing that number. It does that by raising awareness of their program and increasing the diversity of its donor pool.
You know we love to support our heroes in their endeavors.This time we encourage you to be soft and mushy - on the inside, where it counts. So, even though this challenge doesn't require strong, supple muscles, bring in your donor registration information and we'll give you a free 15 minute Migun massage!

All Our Clients are Winners!
It's been a while since we last bragged about our clients. That's because we have been hard at work cultivating new winners. No, really - we do mean winners. We'd like to dedicate this post to celebrating Fluid Fitness clients that participated in the 2010 Manhattan DanceSport Championships that were held at the Brooklyn Bridge Marriott http://www.manhattandancesport.com/index.html.
Our very own Lilian Wong and Erminio Stefano outpaced their competitors in the Waltz, Tango and Foxtrot, garnering them first prize in the PRO/AM Gold Standard Scholarships.
Helen Nicoll and Louis Chockuba won an easy second in the PRO/AM B Gold Standard Scholarships and Fifi Wang and her partner placed fourth.
Making us proud the rest of the weekend were professional competitors Sergey Bolotnikov, Mariko Cantley, Michael Choi, Iveta Lukosiute, Gherman Mustuc and Boriana and DelyanTerziev as well as amateur competitors Angela Eftychiadis, April Klevins, Wendy Sherman, Lorraine Peoples, and Lisa Rapoport.
We are proud of the work we do for our clients and proud of the accomplishments they garner for themselves. Fluid Fitness thinks each one deserves a gold star. Don't worry, we promise not to lick them and stick them to your forehead!
Do you have some goals that require you to give more physically? Whether your goal is lasting through a tough dance competition or having the mobility and stamina to stay on the dance floor with your friends, come on in and check us out. Before you know it we'll be bragging about you, too!

Bone density and Powerplate
We have boasted that Gyrotonic® sessions with us can make you into a superhero. Now we have evidence we can cultivate your superpowers!
The folks at Power Plate have done extensive research. The results show that whole body vibration “may lead to an increase in bone formation.” Now we having living proof!
Liane, a long-time client and friend of Fluid Fitness, was diagnosed with osteopenia in 1995. After being on medication, like Fosamax, for many years, her bone density measurements remained below normal. Two years ago her doctor took her off the medication because it was not helping. However, a recent bone density test showed a 10.8% improvement in the hip and 4.6% improvement in the spine – both measures are now in the normal range for the first time in over 15 years! How did that happen?
The only thing that is new about her regimen, and the only thing that could account for the improvement, is the Power Plate. Adding 15 or more minutes on the Power Plate to workouts several times a week, has significantly improved her bone density, along with balance and strength. Imagine how much spinach she would have to eat to duplicate those results!
If you're concerned about bone density and balance, or just need a fast whole-body workout, try a 15-minute introductory Power Plate session for just $20 and boost your inner superhero!

Spotlight on Success
We've been boasting a bit about our clients lately and we're not done yet! Alison Stroming, one of our younger clients, received a full page write-up in the February/March issue of Pointe Magazine! She's been making a splash in her performances at the JKO School (For those of you who don't know, that's American Ballet Theater's highly selective Pre-Professional Training Program). Her tenacity has caught the eye of faculty and inspired this positive review (http://www.pointemagazine.com/issues/februarymarch-2010/wings-alison-stroming).
At only 16 she has an incredibly busy schedule and a list of accomplishments under her belt. The work she does here supports her daily challenges, keeping her body aligned, muscles functioning efficiently, and joints healthy. This sort of strength and stability is important for such a burgeoning career.
We wish Alison the best of luck. Though we love seeing her here in the studio, we can can't wait to see her next venture on the stage!
We've said it before, a strong, a healthy body will give you wings in any endeavor. Come see how we can help you. We'll even blog about your feats. After all, your success is our success!

7 Across, 5 Down
Puzzled about our title? No, these aren't the latest moves in a Gyrotonic session. Have you ever noticed the framed ceramic crossword puzzle containing the name Fluid Fitness hanging at the front desk? Joanne Sullivan created this lovely piece for our grand opening in 2007.
She created another beautiful mosaic for this year's Lullapuzzoola tournament winner, Dan Feyer who completed the playoff puzzle perfectly in 7 minutes, 10 seconds! You can see his proud prize here http://dandoesnotblog.blogspot.com/2009/08/sunday-82309-lollapuzzoola.html.
Since then, Joanne has been commissioned to create two more crossword mosaics. If you'd like one for yourself, give us a call and we'll put you in touch with her. You can have an up-close and personal look at ours on your next visit. You have scheduled your next visit, haven't you? Just checking.
