Fitness 19 in Vacaville announced Tuesday it would be closing its gym located at 70 Peabody Road immediately.

Unfortunately, we have made the difficult decision to close this location, the company wrote in a letter to its members. We are unable to relocate your membership to an existing Fitness 19 or a new and improved location nearby.

Fitness 19 has been at this location for 13 years and wanted to provide more for their members, said Bob Rodger, a representative for the company.

They were not able to refurbish the existing building or find a new building to relocate to, so they reached out to Fitness Evolution and asked if they would honor their customers memberships.

Fitness 19 memberships will automatically be transferred to the Fitness Evolution club located at 991 Alamo Drive. This transfer is effective today.

Monthly and annual dues will continue to be billed through Fitness 19 until March 14.

Then Fitness Evolution, which is located inside the Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market shopping center behind Jack in the Box, will take over collecting those dues the next day.

According to Fitness 19, members that currently have daily use restrictions will now have access seven days a week.

Members who pay more than $10 a month will be automatically upgraded to a premium membership that includes tanning, hydromassage and the use of more than 51 locations in Northern California.

Rodger said Fitness 19 is sad to leave Vacaville, and tried to provide more notice, but they were working on the arrangement with Fitness Evolution.

If members decide not to transfer their membership, they must provide written notice to Fitness Evolution.

If you have questions about your Fitness 19 membership, email vacavilleclosure@fitness19.com.

For more information on this transition, call Fitness Evolution at 450-1930.

Lets face it, as entrepreneurswere busy trying to make our impact in the world, while also keeping our personal world in order. Running your own business requires a lot of work. And more often than not, we let business and work take priority over health.

Butwithout your health, youre only going to be a shell of you could be. As I remind every entrepreneur I coach or speak to,its important to run your body like you run a business.You wouldnt take short cuts with your business and you shouldnt do it with your body. After all, these two entities have a synergistic relationship.

Being a fit, happyand productive entrepreneur requires a focus on more than your physical fitness. Our mental and emotional fitness play a pivotal role as well.Here are three simple, but powerful tips to improve your mental and emotional fitness.

In the beginning of your entrepreneurial journey, there isnt a raving fan club providing you validation. I was writing in obscurity for over a year before I received my first opportunity to write for a publication.

Related:What Makes a Successful Entrepreneur? Perseverance.

Entrepreneurs such as Daymond John, who many know as the guy on Shark Tank,worked for years in seeming obscurity. Years before he arrived on the scene, he was hustling on the streets while working at Red Lobster.If he had placed his identity 100percent on the success of his business then, he wouldnt have lasted tobecome the success we know him as today.

As an entrepreneur, its pivotal that you dont place your self-worth on the achievements of your business.At the start, its important to be process oriented, not outcome oriented. You can only control the effort you put in each day, not the exact result or outcome it creates.

Understand that youre a human being who is separate from your business. The business may be your baby, but it doesn't dictate the currency of your self-worth.Take some time each day to reflect upon all the things youre proud of in your life.

Ive never been good with fitness. Im too busy to exercise andeat clean. My genetics dont allow me to lose weight.People actually believe such disempowering thoughts about themselves -- even the most hard-driving, can-do businesspeople.

Maybe its your past shortcomings or fear, but addressing thelimiting beliefs that are circulating inside your brain is pivotal to improving your mental fitness as an entrepreneur.

Take some time to reflect on your beliefs. Where did these invisible scripts come from? Are they valid? Are these really your beliefs? Or are they beliefs programmed into you by external sources such as the media, family, peersor friends?

Your emotional fitness helps you manage, even excel, amidthe ups and downs of being an entrepreneur. With great emotional fitness comes a strong inner peace that allows you to stay connected to your true identity and to make the sound decisions for your business and health.

But, when youre running a business without a set number of hours and schedule, its easy to lose focus on your emotional health. One key area for optimal emotional fitness is with those closest to us, whom we often push away without even noticing. Its not from lack of love; we often just take them for granted whilebecomingobsessed with our companies.

One of the simplest ways to enhance your business and health is to have powerful relationships, especially with your partner. Its pivotal to pick out a partner who understands your lifestyle and will be there to support you.

Knowing that you have a unique lifestyle and view of the world means that you cant just choose anyone as most people do.You have extra criteria that you have to be watchful for. While this may shrink your pool of potential partners, itprovides a better chance of having a successful and powerful relationship that enrichesyou instead of drainingyou.

Related:How to Ask Your Partner for a Prenup

Instead of keeping your partner in the dark about your business, let them into your world. Set aside time to focus on connection with them and nothing else. Plan for holidays and weekly date nights,makingsure to mark them on the calendar.

It takes a lot of energy, strengthand dedication to start and grow a successful business. But, you can't do this without focusing on your emotional and mental fitness. Your health equals your wealth.

The hard work on the training ground is paying off, insists the defender as the Swans ran out easy winners against the champions

Swansea City defender Alfie Mawson paid tribute to Paul Clement's impact on fitness at the club following his goal in a 2-0 victory over Leicester City.

Mawson scored a sweetly struck volley to open the scoring at the Liberty Stadium before Martin Olsson doubled the lead and Swansea went on to secure their third win in their last four Premier League matches.

Swansea pile pressure on Leicester

The run of form has helped ease the Swans' relegation fears and Mawson gave credit to head coach Clement, who arrived at the club on January 3.

"We are working really hard," Mawson told Sky Sports. "The new manager has changed a few things, the players have never worked so hard. He has a saying - 'hard week, easier weekend' - and it is showing.

"We felt fit and you have to be against a team like Leicester. We just overran and overpowered them.

"The manager told us we are going to work really hard and we have. He's turned it right around, we are so positive we feel we can take on anyone."

The goal was Mawson's third in six games and he admitted he has a knack for the spectacular, saying: "It fell nicely for me, I was delighted.

"I stopped my run and I thought I would sit back and hit it then I had a look up and it was in the back of the net.

Conte: A point is disappointing

"I scored one like that in League One at Millwall but it's a bit different on the big stage, so it felt fantastic.

"Any goal is a positive for myself and the club but I do like to score. I have got a habit at the moment of being in the right place at the right time."

On his unusual dancing celebration, Mawson added: "I'm going to get hammered for this. I did it when I was at Wycombe so I will carry it on. The celebration was between me and my missus, I said I to her I would do it if I scored. It is going to be a craze!"

Denise Middleton , KTHV 11:18 PM. CST February 12, 2017

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) -- It's February and we are into a new year, which also means new trends. Whether at the gym or spa, many of us are just looking for ways to look and feel good. New year, new goals, new workouts! It's that time of year when fitness trends began to buzz. Topping the list, wearable tech.

"I'm looking at it all the time, it's got little circles on it, so I can see oh I'm almost done," said Fastfit Personal Trainer Jeff McDaniel.

But in the ever-evolving tech world, McDaniel says devices like Fitbit and the Apple watch aren't the only hot things on the market helping count calories.

"Underarmour is doing a really cool thing with technology t-shirts that connects Wi-Fi with your computer and tracks your workouts for the entire month," said McDaniel.

It's something that's still developing and set to be released in the summer, but if you thought that was cool, ladies there's also jewelry.

"Jewelry that track your heart rate calories everything from pendants to rings glasses head gear," said McDaniel.

And another fitness trend in 2017, body weight workouts. Natasha Gallaty says when it comes to exercising she's tried it all, but thinks this training has proven to be most effective.

"I think this is the longest I've lasted in any particular type of workout, said Gallaty.

And what people love most about it is it's accessibility.

"I could do it in my living room, out back when I travel, the beach," said McDaniel.

Also, Jeff says there's a growing trend for specialized studios for just about every workout you can think of.

"So whether it's MMA, or it's yoga or it's spin or it's Zumba you have specific studios versus one big box gym, he said.

"From fitness to beauty, things are constantly evolving, and here at the Rejuvenation clinic in LR we check out some of the hottest trends that have customers coming back for more, said Sara Molsbee, Rejuvenation Clinic Day Spa nurse. "So in the med spa right now we're seeing Kybella has really taken off. This is a new injectable to dissolve the fat underneath the chin."

The FDA approved treatment is gaining popularity among women in their mid-20s.

"This is really the generation that is all on social media taking selfies and they are really focusing on these aspects of the face," she said.

Molsbee says more and more younger people are becoming aware of the benefits of new technology. Whether caused by genetics, aging, or weight gain, she says clients are looking to improve their appearance. And if it's skin discoloration, wrinkles, or fine lines you're worried about, Hydrafacial treatments are what's in, just ask Renee Berry.

"When I come away from it and I look in the mirror my face looks amazing it looks so clean and bright and fresh and alive, said Renee Berry, Rejuvenation Clinic Day Spa client.

"This is something we refer to, kind of like you would go to the gym for the health and maintenance of your body, this is the treatment we recommend for your skin, said Molsbee.

From skin to lashes, it's no secret ladies love longer, fuller eyelashes. But, if you're tired of the maintenance of lash extensions.

"There are prescription and non-prescription lash growth products that you can use at home that stimulate growth of your own lash, said Molsbee.

Enhancing the length and amount in just 4 to 8 weeks. It's a new trend Renee says she's used for a month now.

For a person who struggles with hypo-thyroidism. They made them thicker and longer and I feel more confident, now I really don't wear fake eyelashes anymore, said Berry.

Just another reason Renee is excited to leave the trends of 2016 behind. As for now, she along with many others look towards maintaining their skin and body with the help of cutting edge fitness and beauty trends of the future. For pricing on these beauty trends click here.

February is American Heart Month, an ideal time to assess your risk of heart disease and take steps to improve your health.

When it comes to heart disease, there are several numbers, including your blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose, you (or your doctor) may be monitoring.

But there is another set of numbers that are equally important for preventing and treating heart disease: 0, 5, 10, 25 and 30.

0 is for no smoking. Cigarette smoking more than doubles your risk of heart disease and stroke, is by far the leading cause of lung cancer and other lung diseases and is responsible for more than 400,000 deaths per year. If you smoke, quitting now is one of the most important steps you can take to improve your health.

Nicotine replacement therapy in the form of gum, lozenges and patches, as well as prescription medications, can help, but quitting really does require serious dedication. Its well worth the effort and some benefits of quitting can be realized almost immediately.

5 is for eating five fruits and vegetables each day. A healthy diet is an essential aspect of good health. While there is no one single measure of a healthy diet, adequate fruit and vegetable consumption is widely considered to be essential for good health.

Fruits and vegetables contain vitamins, minerals and fiber, and most are low in calories. At a minimum, you should eat five servings per day with an emphasis on fresh fruits and vegetables. Your real goal should be to include fruits and vegetables in all meals and snacks, but five servings per day is a good start.

10 is for 10,000 steps per day. Regular physical activity is essential for good health. Almost any activity counts, and a good goal is to be as active as possible throughout the day. You can track your physical activity using a pedometer (step counter) or an app on your phone.

A target of 10,000 steps per day is a commonly cited goal, but you should try to take as many steps as possible. You can do this by minimizing the time you spend sitting, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, and walking instead of driving when possible. More steps are better, even if you dont get to 10,000.

25 is for maintaining a healthy body weight, or a body mass index (BMI) of less than 25. The BMI is a measure of weight relative to height. A BMI of 18-25 is considered healthy, 25-29 is considered overweight, and 30 and higher is considered obese.

The risk of health problems like diabetes, heart disease and some cancers goes up with BMI, so maintaining a healthy body weight is good for your health. If you are overweight, you should lose weight, even if you dont make it to an ideal weight.

30 is for 30 minutes of exercise per day. In addition to being as active as possible throughout the day, you should dedicate a minimum of 30 minutes for exercise or other activity. Considerable research shows that that as little as 30 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity leads to improved fitness and health with greater benefits coming from longer duration or higher intensity activity.

This can include exercise a brisk walk or jog, lifting weights or other aerobic exercise as well as other activities like housework and yard work. Your goal should be to sit as little as possible, move as much as possible and make time each day to be active.

Its still close enough to New Year's that your resolution to get fit doesnt seem untenable -- but your schedules a beast, shopping gyms is tiresome, and sometimes Waze lies to you, trapping you on the 405 when you really believed you might get to Pilates in time to finally give it a try. Itd be great to have an app that has on-demand workouts near to you, that you dont need to schedule in advance, that are actually interesting -- which is where Open Sweat comes in.

Four LA guys with tech and marketing backgrounds noticed a couple years ago that along with many other things in LA, fun and trendy fitness experimentation could be made available on demand. Their idea became Open Sweat, an iOS app that lets you book last-minute group workouts at a discount. Unlike competitor ClassPass, you dont have to buy a package of classes and then use them -- you buy as you go.

Open Sweat co-founder Neil Rothstein and his partners dont come from the fitness industry and arent gym rats. And that helped them to think up a service for people who dont live in the locker room, but still want to make time for exercise. We definitely saw an opportunity to create a model that we think is more consumer friendly and more friendly to the studios, Rothstein said. Heres how it works: You download the free app to your iPhone or iPad, register on the platform, then use it to browse under-booked classes around town. Last-minute reservations at discounts up to 50% off open up at 6pm the night before and close 30 minutes before class starts. You pay for your class in the app and then just show up to sample some of Open Sweats ultra-LA offerings -- like aerial performance suspended in giant silk ribbons, a yoga-calisthenics hybrid you can practice out on the bars at Santa Monica beach, or a non-workout in which you sit on a vibrating plate to try to quake off your cellulite (yes, really).

We scoped out eight local classes that reek of LA and are Open Sweat available -- in case youre still struggling with that resolution, but cant commit. We understand:

Believe El Segundo At Believe studio, you can get your yoga on while suspended over the studio floor in a hammock that looks something like those earthy baby slings made from a giant scarf. The Anti Gravity design helps alignment, according to the class description, keeping you in good form as you combine yoga, Pilates, and aerial arts.

Elevate 8 Santa Monica Youll mix the moves of a private dancer with intense cardio and weight training to shape and harden your arms, abs, and rear view, all split into intervals. Especially hilarious/needed if youre a big dude with no core skills at all.

F45 Training Santa Monica Lets let them describe it: Imagine walking into a Hollywood night club on a Saturday Night. Everybody is there for a reason but nobody knows what to expect. The lights are dimmed, the music is loud and you will be surrounded by 26 other people as if you were in the middle of a Dance Floor at Les Deux circa 2009. So, yeah: its time to dance to Get Low.

LA Ballroom Dance Studio Sherman Oaks If you want to pick up some Dancing with the Stars-type moves but arent that into ballroom dancing, this class will prove its all OK. LaBlast is a mashup of all styles, designed by a DWTS alum for a good cardio workout. And if you want to sharpen your skills in the Disco, Cha Cha, Jive, Samba, Paso Doble, Merengue, and Salsa youll sample, LA Ballroom Dance has style-specific training. (Other styles are booked directly, not through Open Sweat.)

Pink Iron West Hollywood If youre a lady who wants to hoist a barbell like an Olympian, this class is for you. Because its LA, you must be a babe while in beast mode, learning the classic olympic lifts, power lifts, proper form, and a variety of skills more in depth under the watchful eye of our most experienced coaches.

PLATEFIT West Hollywood PlateFits vibrating platform claims to intensify any workout, achieving results in a fraction of the time. The studios website has celeb testimonials and links to years of good press for those who sweat it out. But the good news is the West Hollywood studio has also developed a non-workout class where you sit on the plate, to shake, hum, vibrate, and whir away your dimples. Sound too good to be true? Maybe. But hopefully not?

Street Workout Academy Santa Monica Get into a global hybrid training method that combines Yin Yoga core training (which targets the connective tissues of the hips, pelvis, and lower spine) with calisthenics that include full body strength and endurance in small groups. Classes are capped at eight participants, and some take it outdoors. The idea is to get the kind of incredible balance and strength to do out-of-a-movie things like casually do a handstand on some bars next time youre at Santa Monica Beach.

Womack & Bowman Glendale Dancers, choreographers, and circus performers Rachel Bowman and Brett Womack teach their aerial performance wizardry from a studio in Glendale. Youll learn to execute choreographed movements while suspended in the air, braiding your limbs into bolts of silk as you spin, waft, and flip about. The foundation class for aerial silks is New Hang 1. Progress to New Hang 2, and eventually youll get to Hang Tough -- a class, not a throwback to the New Kids on the Block.

GILBERT, Ariz. Andrea Allen, a 32-year-old fitness trainer from Gilbert, had to believe that her lifestyle would be undergoing some major changes when she was pregnant with twins.

As it turns out, all it took was a planned routine and Allen was still able to get her daily workouts and exercises in. In fact, her 3-year-old twins will jump in from time to time.

Allen told People.com that the twins believe exercise is just what moms do in the morning and they even have an exercise song to do moves together.

Evan after having another daughter, Allen has still maintained her lifestyle of staying in shape and it has caught the attention of many with over 120,000 followers on Instagram.

Allen will post words of advice along with her recommended workout.

She shares her stories of having to improvise, such as the time she was mid-workout when the baby woke up and had to be fed, so she got a leg workout in as the baby ate and the twins did puzzles.

Its easy to get down and discouraged and beat yourself up, Allen told People.com. But in every situation, look for the small victories.

Gyms and fitness centers are notoriously packed at the beginning of the year with people looking to get healthier as a New Years resolution.

By the second week of February, however, those numbers tend to go down. In an effort to keep the community healthy and on track with their fitness goals, Michelle Tennant, spinning instructor at Lelia Patterson Fitness and Aquatics Center in Fletcher, had a plan.

Tennant, who is also a publicist, created #Contract4Health after attending a leadershop program with Landmark, an international personal development corporation. The goal was to bring something to the community to improve lives. She wanted to do something to focus on health and fitness, while making sure people committed. That's where the contract comes in.

It helps express a commitment that when someone signs up, they are giving their word that they will follow through, Tennant said.

She jump-started the program at the fitness facility in Fletcher after being an instructor there for several years. With #Contract4Health, participants commit to completing 36 exercise classes within three months by signing a contract.

Sheila Merrill was the first person to complete all of her classes, and says it helped motivate her to keep going.

After going back to school and completing her degree, Merrill decided it was time to focus on her health.

It is time for me again, she said.I feel like Ive had more energy the past month than Ive had in a long time."

Several programs at the LPC Fitness Center are aimed at keeping people on track and healthy.The Create A New Me was going on as a new membership drive at the same time #Contract4Health began. Tennant saw it as a way to encourage people even more to live a healthier lifestyle.

Were here to support anyone that makes a decision to be healthier, said Wendi Pendleton, assistant director at the fitness center. We want to help people reach their goals in any way that we can.

Since the program began, several instructors have seen a record number of attendees in their classes. Tennant was pleased to see the turnout, especially with new classes available that focus on high-intensity training.

We want to work smarter, not harder, she said, adding that the idea is to support each other.

Merrill described the classes offered at the fitness center as a good way to reduce stress.

People need to do it for their own health, she added.

Around 50 people have signed contracts for the program. Those interested in starting can do so at any time.

Never stop moving.

If youre going to do Zumba right, you cant stop moving. Keeping your feet, arms or other parts moving is part of the workout regimen that is Zumba.

The trend isnt new and may not be for everyone, but there were still plenty of people at the Zumba Party Hearty event at the Gainesville Civic Center Saturday morning.

Quinterra Wright, who lives in Alpharetta but works in Gainesville, is used to the exercises style and has been to many Zumba classes.

She also had a special reason for coming to this particular class. The event was co-hosted by Gainesville Parks and Recreation and the American Heart Association, an organization important to Wright.

My dad died from heart disease, so I try and support everything the American Heart Association does, Wright said.

The organizations split the profits from the event, according to Zandrea Stephens, assistant division manager for Gainesville Parks. For a $6 suggested donation at the door, about 30 people showed up to dance away their mornings with the instructors from Frances Meadows Aquatic Center.

The center holds Zumba classes Monday through Thursday at various times. A list of times can be found at http://www.gainesville.org/fitness-classes.

Tarnisha Reid, Kashuna Storey and Lakeisha Cofer came together to try it out for the first time.

It was interesting. Definitely interesting, Reid said. I liked it though, I had fun.

Cheryl Brown was one of the days instructors and led several songs throughout the two-hour event. Shes been teaching Zumba since 2009.

Brown said the idea is to incorporate exercise into a party environment. There are all types of dance types, from Latin to hip-hop and more, depending on the song.

Getting them to move is the idea and stick to it, thats the idea, she said. Its all about health.

Sisters Maggie and Erin Shay knew what they were getting into. Maggie said they had been to Zumba classes together and wanted to come after hearing about it through the Parks and Recreations email newsletter.

I just like the energy, Erin said. It doesnt really matter if you dont know the moves.
