Hoola Monster: Special Spring Fling guest
We're delighted to welcome the Hoola Monster (aka Abby Albaum) to Xtreme on Tuesday, June 10, 7-8 pm as part of the Spring Fling series. Why hoola? It's a great core workout, tons of fun and easier than you think. The new hoops are larger and heavier than those wimpy ones of yore - they're even called fitness hoops! So join Abby, Tampa Bay's own HoopGirl extraordinaire, as she offers this special class to Xtreme members. Space is limited, so please sign up at the Front Desk. We'll provide hoops to use and have invited Abby to bring her custom-made hoops for you to purchase if you're smitten by the Hoola Monster bug!

BODY ATTACK Master Class a resounding success!
Les Mills Master instructor Audrey Deriso (center in photo) and her talented cohorts (Kelli and Sylvia) took Xtreme by storm Saturday, April 26 with their masterful presentation of BODYATTACK. The Les Mills (organization that brings you BODYPUMP) class is billed as the sports-inspired cardio workout for building strength and stamina. This high-energy interval training class combines athletic aerobic movements with strength and stabilization exercises. Dynamic instructors and powerful music motivate everyone towards their fitness goals - from the weekend athlete to the hard-core competitor! And at Xtreme, BODYATTACK lived up to its billing as our members moved, sweated, laughed and groaned under the high energy guidance of our guest instructors. If you'd like to see BODYATTACK come to Xtreme, please let the management know.

Xtreme Xtravaganza raises dollars, awareness for Children's Cancer Center
Xtreme's owner Joe Redner (photo) took his annual dunking to help raise money for Tampa's Children Cancer Center at April's Xtreme Xtravaganza fundraising event. But Mr. Redner was the only one who landed on his well-suited derriere. While the children had a blast knocking him off his perch, their parents and Xtreme members were bidding silently on some fantastic auction items. As of press time, the event had raised more than $9,000 for the Children's Cancer Center. Xtreme management and the Children's Cancer Center extend a sincere thank-you for the thoughtful gifts! And there's still time to contribute - ask the Xtreme Front Desk how you can fly the kite even higher!
