Okay! I have to confess my struggle at the Cruise party. The struggle comes from putting these two things together-Group Exercise and a bar. And I’m not talking about a weight bar, but a liquor bar. Combining fitness and booze was  something I’m not used to. Once the Cruise party started, though, I had to  let go of my personal hang ups and take  time to watch an amazing group of outgoing gals who were talking, sharing and joking  with members. I could see that these instructors have built relationships with these people through the classes that they teach, so there was a lot of laughter and a lot of great conversation. And yes, it was all taking place around a beer or glass of wine,  but that wasn’t the focus. The focus was on relationships that have been built here at Western.  Not to mention, you get a group of fitness instructors together and anything can turn into a competition.  We were competing against the Tennis Bar as to who could sell the most. Nothing more fun than a competition with just bragging rights on the line! Needless to say, I had a great time and I’m very thankful for being a part of this Western team.
