Meet Roberta and Doug Abel, MINT Members of the Month

by

Roberta and Doug AbelOur October members of the month are the dynamic duo, Roberta and Doug Abel! Roberta and Doug both enjoy taking our Senior TRX classes with Master Trainer James Parker-Ashely and instructor Myke Nicholson. Both Roberta and Doug are dedicated members and have attended the Senior TRX class on a regular basis for the past several years. In doing so they have noticed a big improvement in their strength and balance.
In addition to religiously taking the Senior TRX classes, Roberta enjoys MINT’s yoga classes for added flexibility and mindfulness and her one-on-one personal training sessions with James. During their sessions, he always makes sure to encourage her to go just that much further in their workouts, which she loves!
James and Myke are top notch trainers and we’re glad MINT offers the senior classes.

MINT Bingo 2019

by

You still have time to participate in MINT Bingo! Bingo will be running from 10/1-11/15 at both MINT Duont and MINT 14th St. You can pick your bingo card at either front desk. Prizes to our incredible community partners and, of course, MINT will be announced soon!

When you have completed a Bingo square, bring it to the front desk for verification and they will stamp and date the square. You can only get one stamp per day, and for a class to count as having been attended, you must be registered and checked in for the class.

We hope you have fun trying to make BINGO and fill up your card before November 15th!

Meet Christina Garneski, MINT Member of the Month

by

September Member of the MonthMeet our September Member of the Month, Christina Garneski! To Christina, MINT is the perfect balance between a traditional gym and a boutique studio, but she knew that when she signed up. What she didn’t expect was to find such a strong community at her gym. The instructors, trainers, staff, and members are a big part of her every day. In fact, she’s such a MINT fan, that when she and her husband were looking to buy a new home, the first thing they did was check the commute to the gym!

When asked what her fitness goals are she replied with “my number one fitness goal is simply to be mobile when I’m 90, and the best way to do that is by building strength, endurance, and flexibility now.” She’s happy to say that since joining MINT she has increased all of those metrics, and had a lot of fun doing it! She’s challenged and encouraged every day by her instructors and fellow members to push my boundaries.

Christina is a devotee of both Katherine’s and Braegen’s classes. She loves the creative, intense workouts that Braegen puts together for TRX Bootcamp, MINT Row, Power Playground, and Flex. To her, the perfect counterbalance to all that intensity is MINT Barre, thanks to Katherine’s deceptively challenging, yet calming classes.

Next time you see Christina in the gym or class be sure to say hello!
