Get Fit Columbia
I've been a member of New Life Fitness World, an Irmo area fitness center for a number of years. However, after recently obtaining and reading a book, Younger Next Year, I have begun a renewed effort at physical fitness. This book really stresses the importance of a fairly strenuous program of exercise, both aerobic and weight training. In you 40's, 50's or 60's? This would be a great book to obtain to get motivated for fitness. I highly recommend "Younger Next Year."
Recently, my daughter, Kelly, has started working a summer job as a fitness consultant at New Life Fitness World. The motivational book mentioned above highly recommends a gym membership as necessary for a lifetime of better fitness and health. New Life Fitness World offers many amenities and reasonable membership rates. Amenities include: free and machine weights, aerobics and exercise class studios, racquetball courts, walking/jogging track, sauna, steam room indoor pool and more.
Want to get more information or visit the gym or get a free week to check out this great Irmo area fitness club? Call Kelly Coker for an appointment or further information. Call Kelly at (803) 730-3145 or (803) 732-9000.
