In the new, bright yellow reception area disco music shimmies over the
intercom as you sign the guest register. You are greeted enthusiastically
by your very own instructor who, within the next 90 minutes, will tell you
more about your own body than you may even care to know, and have you

well on your way to believe that you can lose weight.

“Most women come
here to lose weight,”
sayS manager Eve
Cavvoto. “Others
realize that you have to
start on a_ regular
exercise program
before you're 25 to
look good at 30. A lot
of men go beyond
basic fitness and get
into ‘definition’ —
contouring certain
parts of the body —
while elderly people
find exercise one of the
best ways to combat
diseases like arthritis or
bursitus. And with
these facilities, getting
into shape is fun!”

The atmosphere of

- this new Spa Fitness

Centre revolves around
the body awareness,
as evidenced by the
numbers of mirrors it

rapport between in-
structors and members
is emphasized, and
every new member

consultation according
to his or her weight,

lucky you! Now on
to one of those
amazing machines, the
Lifecycle, for a good
bout of exhilarating
peddling! The Lifecycle
is prograrnmed by the
