Last week we celebrated Membership Appreciation Week at all of our locations across the Triangle and in Wilmington. Throughout the week, members and their guests were treated to free food, massages and even had the opportunity to talk one-on-one with O2 Fitness personal training experts. Local vendors, ranging from boutique clothing and jewelry stores to nutrition advisors, also stopped by several of our locations and provided members with wellness information, special offers and free product samples.
Our newest location in downtown Raleigh’s Seaboard Station hosted a fitness competition where members were encouraged to push to their physical extreme. At our Brennan location, our O2 experts hosted two clinics for the club’s new TRX suspension training program. And rumor has it that the Chick-fil-A cow was even spotted participating in the Zumba class at our Fuquay-Varina location and dancing to live tunes at our Falls/540 location!
See what our members said was their favorite part about Membership Appreciation Week on our Facebook page. We enjoyed seeing all of our members throughout this fun-filled week and look forward to hosting more events in the future!

CONTEST COMPLETE – And the winner is….Courtney Duffy Coyle, a member of our Falconbridge club! Enjoy the game!
Thank you to all who contributed recipes – they sound delish (and diet friendly)!
____________
We have TWO tickets to the UNC vs. Long Beach State basketball game this Saturday, Dec. 11, at 7:00 p.m. and YOU have the chance to win them.
Here’s how:
The holidays are a time for celebration – and that means lots of cold (or hot) beverages to taste. Most seasonal sips are pretty high in calories, but we know there have to be some great lighter options out there to swap! Do you have a favorite low-cal holiday drink recipe?
For example: A Low-Fat Eggnog recipe from Food Network.
Share your favorite low-cal holiday drink recipe below in the comments section to enter to win tickets to the game!
**Submit your comment by 3:00pm WEDNESDAY (12/8) to be eligible!**
(You must be able to pick up the tickets at the O2 Corporate Office in Raleigh by Friday, 12/10, before 5:30pm)

What could be more fun than dressing up in a costume, and eating free candy? Halloween is a fun time for all but it also poses safety concerns for parents and children venturing out to trick-or-treat. The CDC recommends these tips to keep you and your child safe this Halloween:
- Enter homes only if you’re with a trusted adult. Otherwise, stay outside.
- Eat only factory-wrapped treats. Avoid eating homemade treats unless you know the cook well.
- Wear well-fitting masks, costumes, and shoes to avoid blocked vision, trips, and falls.
- Only walk on sidewalks or on the far edge of the road facing traffic to stay safe.
- Lower your risk for serious eye injury by not wearing decorative contact lenses.
- Always test make-up in a small area first. Remove it before bedtime to prevent skin and eye irritation.
- Hold a flashlight while trick-or-treating to help you see and others see you.
- Examine all treats for choking hazards and tampering before eating them. Limit the amount of treats you eat.
- Avoid trick-or-treating alone. Walk in groups or with a trusted adult.
- Swords, knives, and similar costume accessories should be short, soft, and flexible.
But most of all, HAVE FUN!

Many of you know Sophia Bush best for her character of Brooke Davis on One Tree Hill, filmed locally here in Wilmington, NC and you have probably seen her working out at the O2 Fitness Wilmington club. It’s not lost on any of us that she is a very talented actress; however, we are also learning she is more than just another pretty face in Hollywood.
We have always heard that Sophia donates a lot of her time and money into many non profit organizations. Well now she is doing it right here in Wilmington and giving us all a chance to get involved right along side of her!
Sophia is trying to raise awareness and money for the recent oil spill in the Gulf. She is currently organizing a group of people to run and be sponsored in a half marathon right here in Wilmington in November. So put all that energy and exercise you are doing towards a good cause. There are a few different ways you can help! You can get involved in the race and run with her, you can donate anything you can on her Crowdrise page or you can just re-blog this and help more people become aware of what she is doing. We can all help make a difference! Below we have listed a link to her Official Blog and her Crowdrise webpage. Stay healthy and enjoy!
Thanks, and we hope to see you at the half marathon in November in Wilmington, NC!

Don’t worry guys, you still have a few days left to celebrate Bike to Work week! This week
cities all over the country host activities to promote this fine form of transportation 
Ride your bike to help your budget, waistline, and the environment.
If you don’t have a bicycle, come to O2 Fitness to celebrate. Replace your regular
elliptical routine with some cycling to keep things fun and exciting. Or you can try an RPM or O2 Ride class if you have not already! You could even just switch things up and try an early morning or evening class.
Even better, you could ride your bike to the gym!

New to classes? This is the time to try one. These classes have brand new moves and music for everyone!
