Fitness Suite Review: Hotel 71, Chicago IL

Hotel 71, Chicago, IL

The Fitness Suite

We were treated to an overnight stay in a fitness suite at Hotel 71 in Chicago this past weekend in exchange for a review.  I absolutely love the idea of a fitness suite and this one rocked my world.  Hotel 71 in Chicago has two fitness suites.  These were once junior suites converted to make the fitness suites.  One has a treadmill and the other, the one we stayed in an elliptical.

The Gaiam Company, So Generous

Gaiam.com, Inc The Gaiam Company Has It All

I wanted to thank the kind folks at Gaiam and GaiamTV for their generous donation to my June Better Healthy Living Challenge.  They donated 3 months FREE of GaiamTV.com AND a yoga mat to one lucky winner.  I’m waiting to hear back from the winner to see what she thinks.

GaiamTV has a lot to offer from fitness, yoga and wellness videos to inspiring films and documentaries.  You can watch on your iPhone, iPad and computer.  So simple!

My New Brooks Cross Trainers/Running Shoes

We went to The Running Depot this weekend and I treated Kev and myself to new cross trainers/running shoes. I was sold some Saucony running shoes as cross trainers (from a big name store) and didn’t realize anything was wrong until I started having major knee pain after every kickboxing, Walk Away the Pounds and Zumba workout.

Don’t get me wrong, the shoes looked awesome and are very durable BUT apparently they weren’t for me.

Online Fitness and Nutrition Personal Trainers

I was given a complimentary entry into the Squires Fitness program in exchange for an honest review and case study of my experience.  So over the next 12 weeks you are going to go through the entire experience with me.  If you would like to join the Squires Fitness program at anytime, let me know so we can do this together.  The plan is to check in at least once a week and most likely it will be on Sunday’s right along with my daily workout log. It’s only fitting right?

The Program

Squires Fitness has online fitness and nutrition personal trainers who design a personalized program just for you based on your individual assessments.  Their mission is to “help as many people as possible change their lives through correct exercise and nutrition by providing all the tools, advice and support they need to succeed”.  Most online fitness programs are automated but Squires Fitness seems to really be interested in their clients.  I like that.
