🚨 ATTENTION 🚨 EoS is turning 11 and to celebrate EoS is raising funds for the American Diabetic Association. Tomorrow's Interval Training class (9/10) at the Ocotillo location has been selected as one of the special Fundraiser Classes. To reserve your spot for tomorrow's Birthday themed class, members must make a donation to the ADA. Use the donation QR code below. After making your donation you'll receive a link that will allow you to register for the class. You can also show your donation receipt to the front desk staff.

EoS members! My last class at the Warner/McClintock location is this Friday, May 16th at 8:30 am.

I have been teaching fitness classes at the EoS on Warner/McClintock for nearly 4 years and I have loved every minute of it. I'm going to be hard pressed to find another group of people as genuinely kind and fun as the members at that gym. But with the status school bussing services uncertain for next school year, I needed to find a teaching position that's closer to home.

Come party with me one more time and let me know if you have any song requests.

**please note, although I'm no longer teaching at the EoS on Warner/McClintock, I'm still an EoS employee and will continue teaching my Wednesday classes at the Gilbert/Ocotillo in Chandler, most likely until the day I die.

If you usually come to my Wednesday morning classes at EoS, you'll want to set your alarm a smidge earlier. Interval Training will be starting promptly at 8:25 and Bands & B***y is shifting by 15 minutes to start at 9:30.

The time change was necessary in order to decrease the time gap between the classes (now only 5 minutes between classes instead of 15) thus making it easier and more efficient for members to take two classes back-to-back.

These changes apply to my Wednesday classes at the Ocotillo location ONLY. My Friday class at the Warner/McClintock location will remain the same.

Who makes the best cookies in the East Valley? 🍪. For a family activity this past week we purchased boxes from 4 different cookie makers--Chunk, Cookie Rush, Crumbl & Twisted Sugar--and tasted them side-by-side to compare. The winner?? It was close but in the end we chose Twisted Sugar

Regular schedule this week up until Friday.... I'm taking a quick trip to Cali so Meagan Bryant will be covering Interval Training at EoS on Warner/McClintock

A little bit professional, a little bit personal.... Here is the Month in Review:

Pink #2 joined her high school Mountain Biking Team and competed in her first ever mountain biking race in Prescott. It was a amazing display of athleticism and grit. Way to go, Knights!!

Pink #1 attended Perry High Homecoming. She's going on 2 years as the Perry High Marching Band Drum Major, which means I'm going on 2 years as a fundraiser coordinator and volunteer for the Perry High Marching Band. Go Pumas!!

Pink #3 & Big D and my wonderful husband Jay are still alive and busy as ever. I'll tell you more about them next month, promise 😉

And finally.... This month I was honored and excited to add a 6th class to my weekly teaching schedule: "Bands & B***y" on Wednesdays at 9:45 am at the EoS on Ocotillo/Gilbert. This is a 30 minute class.... It's intense but short so if you don't have a lot of time for exercise, give this gem a try.

P. S. I got some great song requests from members and created new choreo this month. Many thanks to for her contributions
