Though plans still need to be finalized, Proximal50 Life Center is considering a second location in downtown Bismarcks former International Harvester building.

We knew that to be able to serve more people in our community we'd eventually be looking at a second location. When the opportunity came up to be a part of the downtown revitalization efforts, we knew it was time to look seriously. No lease has been signed as we continue to look at the feasibility of the project, said Tana Trotter, owner and CEO of Proximal50.

Proximal50s current Divide Avenue location is a life center with a wellness clinic and gym. The downtown location, should it come to fruition, would focus on fitness.

A big part of making exercise a regular habit is that it works into a daily routine, Trotter said. A second location makes us accessible to more people. Plus many people squeeze exercise in on their way to work, over lunch or on the way home. And for those that work downtown, this location is convenient.

Katie Kost, who does marketing for the fitness center, said it was not expected to find a second location so soon, but the 13,000-square-foot building had that Proximal feel.

Plus with a unique layout and the downtown vibe, this location opens up new potential for small group training and specialty classes, said Trotter, adding that Proximal50 members would have access to both locations.

Trotter and the buildings owners won Renaissance Zone approval for the project, which would provide a five-year state income tax exemption to Proximal50. The 122 N. Mandan St. location previously housed One Source Lighting.

Renovating a building built in 1929 is a large project and the ability to qualify for Renaissance funding and incentives is what makes projects like this viable. Initial project cost estimates are nearly $600,000, read a statement from the company.

As part of the renovation, the interior would get new lighting and paint, original brick walls and flooring would be exposed and restored, and locker rooms and physical therapy rooms would be added. Outside bricks would be removed to expose original windows and the main entrance will be moved to the side of the building.

Construction would begin when a lease is signed and the Renaissance Zone process is complete.

Timelines are always shifting with construction projects, but, should all go as planned, we hope to open in early 2018, Trotter said.

This semester, Campus Recreation is transforming increased funding into increased opportunity by significantly expanding their services.

For the first time, the university has decided to eliminate a decision thats usually on many students minds at the beginning of a semester to get, or not to get, a gym membership.

This year, theres no need to make a decision the cost of every students gym membership has been included in their student activity fee.

Though this does mean the student fee increased, it also means Campus Recreation has more funding to offer students more services.

Jill Garrigan, assistant director of Campus Recreation for Fitness and Wellness, is excited for students to be able to utilize the Intramural Building expansion, in which Campus Recreation was one of the largest beneficiaries of space.

RELATED:Penn State students react to paying for the on-campus gym

Due to unexpected delays regarding safety regulations, Laura Hall, senior director of Campus Recreation, hopes the expansion will be open within the next two weeks.

The expansion features two new workout rooms with completely new equipment, much of which the university has never seen before, Garrigan said.

Tall windows and hardwood floors characterize the new FitWell Studio, which is fully equipped for a number of yoga practices, Pilates and more.

This barefoot studio features Total Body Resistance Exercise, better known as TRX, Suspension Trainers for 20 people.

The studio also offers Indo Boards Balance Trainers, which are completely new to Penn State, enabling instructors to add new elements to yoga and Pilates classes.

FitWell Studio will also serve as a new home to two of students long-time favorite classes, Washboard Abs, renamed Pure Core, and Butts and Guts, renamed Power N Core.

Just downstairs, students can find the studios inverse. Room 16 is a grungy, garage-style classroom named FitWell Basement.

Rubber floors and large closets fit for bulky equipment make this room ideal for classes such as High Intensity Interval Training and Total Training, a new circuit style class, Garrigan said.

The basement is stocked with kettle bells, preloaded barbells, sand bags, climbing machines, battle ropes and more, Garrigan said, creating endless possibilities for boot camp style classes.

Bringing unique equipment to campus is just one way were redefining health and fitness at Penn State, Garrigan said.

Aside from the new workout rooms, Hall said students can also take advantage of a rock climbing wall, a bouldering wall and an indoor turf field.

Enthusiastic about the number of new opportunities for students, Hall said the indoor turf field can be used for IM games, informal games, high intensity fitness classes and more.

Students also have access to the Natatorium and White Building pools during recreational swim hours. The White Building pool will be offering a new Aqua Bootcamp class twice a week.

In an effort to give students full access to all of the new services, all fitness centers have significantly increased their hours, Hall said, some staying open as late as 1 a.m.

We heard students requests, Hall said. They wanted us open later. So, we responded.

Alex Shockley, vice president of UPUA and member of the student fee board, said after thorough decision making, hes confident the increased student fee, and therefore increased services, were necessary changes to campus life.

Penn State is showing an increased focus on students wellness and well-being, Shockley (senior-hospitality) said. Facility access for all makes it much easier for students to put more focus on their own wellness and well-being as well.

Participants in the twice weekly Legends class at Snap Fitness in Greenville get direction from Ryan Olsen, personal trainer with 3Five Training, about their next exercise moves Thursday morning. Emilee Nielsen/Daily News

Something legendary is happening at Snap Fitness in Greenville on Monday and Thursday mornings.

Ryan Olsen, who founded 3Five Training and works out of Snap Fitness, leads a small group of women who are dedicated to maintaining their mobility and building strength in their golden years.

Participants in the class, all of whom currently are 62 or older, use low impact exercises like wall push-ups and air squats, in combination with cardio-like walking and riding Airdyne bikes to build their strength and endurance.

The Legends class, as its called, began a year ago with Ryans mom, Sherry Olsen, and her friend, Evelyn Mosier, both Greenville residents. Mosier was told by her doctor that she should think about becoming more active.

As we age, you eat less and you still gain weight. She (her doctor) said I should start exercising, Mosier said.

Mosier said she wanted to find a fitness plan that would work for her body as shes had a broken heel bone and has had to have cortisone injections in her knees. Thats when Sherry suggested Mosier talk to Ryan.

Sherry Olsen, left, and Evelyn Mosier walk holding weighted exercise balls to increase resistance. They are part of the twice weekly Legends class at Snap Fitness.

She takes me down to see Ryan and Ryan says, We can do that a couple days a week, and I looked at Sherry and said, Are you going to be able to make it? Mosier said with a laugh. She kind of got roped into it.

Mosier said her doctor told her that after 40 years of age, our bodies tend to lose strength and muscle mass. Regular exercise is the best way to combat the loss.

We start with just foundational movements, Ryan said. I dont make them overhead squat, I dont make them snatch I dont make them get down on the ground and get back up. I try to have them do things that they can use every day.

Ryan said the class has been a great opportunity for the participants to exercise, but its also been an opportunity for socialization.

Theyre close-knit. Everybody knows whats going on in each others lives. Its a very nice community that we build, he said. And its not just with The Legends, its with all my classes. Were like a big family. You suffer together, you tend to be closer. Single victories are more of a group victory.

Though Sherry did get roped into it at first, she said shes enjoyed being in the class and becoming more active.

Just being healthythats the main focus. And you feel good, Sherry said.

Mosier said shes had a lot of changes in her mobility over the past year and that her blood pressure also has improved since she began working out.

I dont take any medicine and I have never had high blood pressure, but usually its in the 120s or 130s, but its been down to 111, Mosier said.

Mosier said the training shes been doing has also been beneficial in other ways. She said her mother recently broke her hip and that Mosier was able to help her get around in ways she might not have been able to had she not been exercising.

Sherry, too, has had challenges that The Legends class has helped. She had knee surgery and she said being in the Legends class has helped to regain mobility.

Charlotte Lothian, another participant in the class, said shes enjoyed being more active and that she would even like to Skype call in to the class when shes away from home.

Its just been fun to be able to add some things you can continue to do on your own, Lothian said.

If you are interested in more information on The Legends class, call Snap at (616) 828-5997 or email threefivetraining@yahoo.com. Ryan also encourages folks to just show up on Mondays or Thursdays at 8 a.m. Your first class is free.

50 Plus: Local gym hosts Legends fitness class - Greenville Daily News

Christian Guzmans mom cried for what felt like a month when, after completing his sophomore year in 2013, he decided to leave Texas State University. His dad, though, tried his best to look on the bright side: If things didnt work out, he reminded his son, he could always re-enroll the next semester and continue to pursue his degree in business management.

I didnt have any doubts about dropping out, Guzman remembers, but everyone else did.

Today, Guzman is a 24-year-old YouTube star, gym owner and entrepreneur with his very own energy drinkand an estimated worth of $2 million. He gets recognized not only in Sugar Land, where he lives, but across the country. How did he get here?

It was in high school at Dulles that Guzman got really into fitnessand learning about fitness. I would sit there and watch videos for hours, he remembers. I watched every fitness video on YouTube, trying to learn everything I had no problem sitting there for 10 hours and watching videos on how to work out. After years of watching, he says, I saw those guys doing it and I figured, Oh, I know enough to put a few videos out.

He launched his own YouTube channel in 2012. Im Christian Guzman from Christian Guzman Fitness, he said in his very first video, filmed in his bedroom. Um, Im starting this channel because, uh, for about five years Ive been doing strength trainingand I just want to share my experience and advice of whats worked for me and what hasnt worked for menutrition-, supplement-, and workout-wise.

Then, with alt-rock playing in the background, he performs a series of flexes and poses, showing off his rippling ab, arm, chest and back muscles; his chiseled face; his smooth, tan skin; his white teeth.

Where it all began, commented LMAAAAYOOO, years after the video was posted. And LMAAAAYOOO was right. While the quality of Guzmans videos has improvedeverything now looks Instagram-perfectfrom that first video on, he established the basic format hes followed ever since: fitness advice, plus a behind-the-scenes look at his life, plus plenty of eye candy in the form of his own person.

While Guzman has always had a canny knack for tapping into viewers emotions, theres also a banality to watching him go about his routine that only serves to make him more authentic. You really do feel like youre hanging out with him as he works out with his girlfriend, has a cheat meal, talks about his favorite brands, runs errands, or hangs out with his French bulldog. If its occasionally boring, well, so is life.

Wittingly or unwittingly, from the very beginning Guzman hit upon the recipe for YouTube gold. Part one is that authenticity: People love YouTube stars as opposed to Hollywood ones because they feel like they really know them. And part two is something YouTube and Hollywood stars share: good looks.

Since 2012, hes put out three or four videos every week, with each averaging 150,000 views and requiring days of filming and hours of editing, either by Guzman or by his videographer, one of about a half-dozen staff he employs.

If youre thinking this guys about to get a reality show, youre not the only one, and maybe youre right. Or maybe not. I would never do a TV show, Guzman asserts. I can get the same viewership on my YouTube channel and still be in charge of my own content. In other words, who needs a middleman?

When Guzman left college, the idea was to continue making YouTube videos, take on personal-training clients, and open his own gym. Pretty quickly, he had 300 clients, and by the end of 2013, hed opened his first facility in Sugar Land. He called it CGFitnessChristian Guzman Fitnessand he sold T-shirts, hoodies and beanies with his logo front and center.

The next year brought a move to a bigger gym and a rebranding to the catchier Alphalete, which instantly smashed CGFitness records and became the brand people recognize today, helping Guzman to grow his YouTube channels subscribers to 750,000 and his Instagram followers to almost a million.

Now Guzmans moved to a third location, this one in Stafford, called Alphalete Gym, with a growing membership. Instead of 300 personal-training clients, he has 20 hand-selected ones. People from as far as Australia have traveled to his facilities; he tours the world making appearances; an event he hosted in June attracted over 3,000 people; he has a new energy drink called Up.

While his main source of revenue is his clothing line, Guzman says, his primary occupation is still YouTuber. Between advertising and sponsorships, he does make money from his channel, but more than that, its whats made everything else possible.

Just like anyone else whos found fame, online or otherwise, Guzman has to deal with privacy concerns and negativity. The bigger you get, the more hate on social media, he says. I think its at the point now that I cant pay any attention. Im aware of it, but I cant give it any attention.

But theres a lot of love, too. Guzmans most popular video, which now has 8.4 million views and was filmed last year, doesnt take place in the gym. Instead, the videocalled I Bought My Dad A Car... This is His Reaction!!!takes place at a car dealership, and at his parents Missouri City home.

He explains at the beginning of the video that his father drives a 2005 Honda Element whose broken speedometer has clocked over 300,000 miles, and that hes going to surprise him with a new Cadillac SRX for his birthday. When his shocked dad sits in the brand-new car and says, No one has ever bought me anything, you too will probably cry. And if nothing else, you will agree with commenter Nina85 M:

Very handsome and amazing son.

SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. --

Officials will begin renovations on the Schriever fitness center, Building 120, to improve quality of life for the base community.

The 50th Civil Engineer Squadron, 50th Contracting Squadron and 50th Force Support Squadron worked together to plan renovations for the fitness centers mens and womens locker rooms, which is expected to start date Sept. 5, and last approximately 90 days.

The request for the project was initiated in December 2015, said Lt. Col. Merrell Mobley, 50 FSS commander. This will mark a two year process until completion and we are grateful to receive the funding to carry out the project as desired.

The purpose of the renovation is to replace the shower areas in both the mens and womens locker rooms due to wear and tear over time.

This building was constructed and opened in December 2001, said Seth Cannello, 50 FSS fitness center director. I put in a request to renovate the locker rooms; it was a long time coming since we havent had any major renovations since the buildings opening.

Renovation includes walls and ceiling cleaning and painting, tile replacement, HVAC system testing and shower heads and controls replacement.

Currently, the mens shower stalls are open bay, however, once the project is complete, the design will be similar to the womens locker rooms with private showers and drying stalls.

During the construction, mens and womens trailers will be available with eight showers in each. No lockers or toilets will be available in the trailers themselves.

While the locker rooms are renovated, males will have access only to restrooms and lockers in their locker room. For females, only the family locker room and Building T-135 will be available for use.

This is going to have a major impact on the base, Cannello said. People definitely need to plan ahead for it. On the plus side, the current issues will be repaired and its going to give people more privacy. It will be challenging for three months, which is why I want people to already be thinking about this.

For more information, contact the fitness center at 567-6658.

Kathy Rocchetti, 58, knew she needed to get in shape. It wasnt her doctor who told her; it was her jeans.

It was getting tough to pull them up over my hips, the Philadelphia woman recalls, and it was almost impossible to button them. Now, 20 pounds lighter, those jeans glide right on and look like a million bucks.

What was the secret to her success? Lots of things, Rocchetti admits, including a wellness program at work. But a big part of it were the fitness apps on my smartphone. It was like having a coach sitting on my desk all day, telling me to take a quick walk, do some stretches,or drink some more water. And when Id go out with friends after work, a quick glance at my phone helped me decide what to order and what to stay away from. Apps like My Fitness Pal were great tools to help me reach my goal. Plus, they made it so much fun, she says.

Rocchetti is part of a growing trend. In a recent AARP survey, 77 percent of participants aged 50-plus reported that fitness apps were useful. And smartphone fitness is definitely not just for twentysomethings after all, 74 percent of people between 50 and 64 own a smartphone. Maybe you do, too. If so, like Rocchetti, you can put it to work to help you get stronger, slimmer and more energetic.

The beauty of using smartphones for fitness is that theyre already embedded in our lives you dont have to go out and buy another device, says Ted Vickey, professor of kinesiology at Point Loma University and senior adviser on fitness technology for the American Council on Exercise. As long as your phone is with you, it can track everything from your daily steps to your pulse rate and even the quality of your sleep. Plus, it can provide a powerful sense of social support when you share your accomplishments and challenges with family and friends.

No matter your fitness level right now, theres an app for you.

Just getting off the couch? Try the built-in fitness app thats already on your phone. An iPhone has the Apple Health app, which counts your daily steps, tracks the number of flights you climb and analyzes your sleep; Android phones have similar built-in fitness features, like Samsung Health and Google Fit.

Start out with one simple app and get comfortable playing with it, advises Fabio Comana, faculty instructor with the National Academy of Sports Medicine in San Diego. Use it to be more self-aware and build healthy habits. And when youve conquered that app, move on to the next level. Decide what your fitness goals are and find a new app to try.

Thats easy there are untold numbers of apps to choose from. Based on recommendations from experts, heres a list of sevenof the best. Most are free, though there may be charges for premium versions.

No guts, no glory is often a mantra that top athletes ascribe to when trying to excel in their respective sport. However now, researchers from George Churchs laboratory at Harvard Medical School along with investigators at Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard have begun to chant the same adage, but for a wholly different reason. The scientists developed the idea of surveying the gut microbiota of elite athletes to determine if they have a natural edge from the bacteria that inhabit their digestive tracts. Amazingly, while studying the microbiome from exceptional runners and rowers, the research team identified bacteria that may aid athletic performance.

Data from this new study was presented recently at the 254th National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS) in an article entitled FitBiomics: Understanding Elite Microbiomes for Performance and Recovery Applications. The goal is to develop probiotic supplements that may help athletesand even amateur fitness enthusiastsrecover from a tough workout or more efficiently convert nutrients to energy.

"When we first started thinking about this, I was asked whether we could use genomics to predict the next Michael Jordan," noted senior study investigator Jonathan Scheiman, Ph.D., a research fellow the Wyss Institute. "But my response was that a better question is: Can you extract Jordan's biology and give it to others to help make the next Michael Jordan?

Naturally, the microbiome, specifically within the intestinal tract, seemed the most appropriate place for the investigators to begin the quest.

"We are more bacteria than we are human," explained Dr. Scheiman. "The bugs in our gut affect our energy metabolism, making it easier to breakdown carbohydrates, protein, and fiber. They are also involved in inflammation and neurological function. So perhaps the microbiome could be relevant for applications in endurance, recovery and maybe even mental toughness."

Unglamorously, the research team collected fecal samples on a daily basis from 20 athletes training for the 2015 Boston marathon, one week before and one week after the race.

For two weeks, I was driving around Boston collecting fecal samples and putting them on dry ice in the car," Dr. Scheiman remarked. "We followed athletes longitudinally to capture how the microbiome changes between performance and recovery."

Consequently, the researchers sequenced the genomes of the sampled bacteria, using computational metagenomic methods to figure out how many and what types of microbes inhabited the fecal samples. When they compared the pre-race and post-race samples, the researchers found a sudden spike in the population of one particular type of bacteria after the marathon. During intense exercise, the body produces more lactic acid than usual, which can lead to muscle fatigue and soreness. This bacterium could potentially help with that. "This bug's natural function is to breakdown lactic acid," Dr. Scheiman added.

The researchers isolated the bacterium from fecal samples and are beginning to evaluate its properties. They've already determined that the bug excels at breaking down lactic acid in a test tube and remains viable after it passes through the digestive system of mice. The researchers are now feeding the bacterium to mice to measure its effects on lactic acid levels and fatigue.

Additionally, the investigators are comparing the bacteria from ultramarathoners to those found in rowers training for the Olympics. They found a type of bacteria in ultramarathoners that can help breakdown carbohydrates and fiberwhich is key during a 100-mile runthat wasn't present in the rowers, suggesting that different sports may foster niche microbiomes.

The researchers were excited by their findings, so much so that Dr. Scheiman is currently involved in launching a company, called Fitbiomics, with the intent of studying a vast array of microbiomes and provide insight into healthy and unhealthy guts.

"I would like to think that a year after we launch, we could have a novel probiotic on the market," Dr. Scheiman concluded. "But in parallel, we'll also be expanding our cohort of elite athletes from numerous sports to generate a larger microbial data and strain bank of novel probiotic candidates. In essence, we're mining the biology of the fittest and healthy people in the world and then extracting that information to help them and others."

Wall Street's getting pumped up when it comes toPlanet Fitness (NYSE: PLNT). Shares of the discount gym operator hit an all-time high earlier this month after posting another blowout quarter, and analysts are paying attention to the growth stock's reps.

Dave King at Roth Capital sees more new highs in the near future. He is raising his price target from $23 to $27 on Monday, encouraged by the chain's strong membership growth and margin improvement in its latest report.

Last week it was George Kelly at Imperial Capital moving his goal post on the stock from $25 to $28. Kelly sees the shares continuing to track higher as deleveraging and franchising efforts intensify. Both King and Kelly naturally have bullish ratings on Planet Fitness.

Image source: Planet Fitness.

The bullish Planet Fitness update this morning out of Roth Capital's King offers several encouraging takeaways. King sees continued growth through expansion, membership gains, conversions to higher-cost plans, and royalty increases. Things are certainly clicking nicely at Planet Fitness. It has now scored 42 consecutive quarters of positive comps. They say that gym memberships are fickle, but when you're consistently growing unit-level production for more than a decade it's not a fluke.

King also sees significant potential in pushing Planet Fitness internationally, something that may calm the fears of those concerned about how many more units the chain can squeeze in domestically before it starts cannibalizing sales. It had 1,403 mostly franchisee-run gyms open at the end of June. Its first location in Panama will open in the fall.

Planet Fitness is not afraid of a vigorous workout. Revenue climbed 17% in the second quarter, the combination of a 9% surge in comps and brisk expansion. Adjusted earnings grew even faster, soaring 29% given the scalable advantages of Planet Fitness' model.

The platform is resonating, particularly with the masses that aren't typically drawn to sweaty gyms. With monthly rates starting at just $10 a month and topping off at $20 it's a far cry from the full-service fitness centers where hardbodies flex and the affluent tackle pilates. Planet Fitness announced in Aprilthat it topped 10 million active members.

Planet Fitness is making the most of retail trends where landlords are desperate to fill big-box vacancies that once housed dying superstores and department store chains. It's a story that is easy to get behind as long as the decade-long streak of positive comps continues. Whether we hit King's goal of $27 or Kelly's slightly more ambitious mark of $28, it's a safe bet that these price targets will continue to inch higher if Planet Fitness keeps up the pace.
