1 Thank you for inquiring about our gym! We realize that you have many choices available when it comes to fitness and we d like to take the time to thank you for allowing us to present some information to you concerning our facility. Having been involved in the fitness business for several years, we became increasingly frustrated at the poor standards in our industry. Quite simply we became sick and tired of clubs where sales numbers were more important than member results, and good training programs and qualified instruction were almost impossible to find. We set out to create the solution. And we did. Eastpointe Health and Fitness is your alternative to large, impersonal gyms. We focus on relationships with our members, customer service that exceeds your expectations, and education designed to help you get the most out of your workouts. Our environment caters to people who have never been in a gym before, and to those who just need to upgrade their workout experience. It is our pledge to accommodate all of our members as individuals and to lend support to them whenever needed. For this reason, we recommend that you take advantage of our many beneficial services. We take pride in our knowledgeable personal training staff, the comprehensive nutrition programs we offer, and the full Chiropractic care center with whom we are partnered. You won t find a more qualified or more highly trained fitness team anywhere. We offer many exclusive programs not available at other fitness facilities in the area, such as our all inclusive training program. Think of us as your fitness resource if you know what you want to accomplish, we can help find a solution tailored just for you. Your results are our goal! We understand that making a decision as to where to work out is difficult and that every owner will tell you that he or she is proud of the gym they own and that member results are very important to them. Will I like the other members? Will I really stick with it this time? Will the staff appreciate my business after the sale? These are fair questions that can only be answered by coming in to meet us. It s hard to hide bad service, a poorly trained staff, and a lack of knowledge when you re face-to-face with someone. We feel we can stand up to this test and we invite you to come meet us personally. Please keep in mind that we want to be more than just a place where you have a membership. We feel strongly about fitness and what it can do in your life. We want to help you get the most out of your time with us. We re proud of what we do here and feel that if we re given a chance you ll want to do business with us. We ve been servicing clients in this community for over ten years and are proud to be a locally owned and operated business. You can reach us by phone at (option 1 for the fitness center) or stop by and visit us in person. Thank you for the opportunity to serve you and we look forward to personally meeting you in the gym. Please read the rest of the package carefully to find out if we really are the gym you ve been looking for to help with all your fitness needs. Regards, Paul Mazzella Owner

4 Fitness Facts Strength Training Strength (also known as resistance or weight) training helps you get stronger, increases your metabolic function and reduces your risk of injury. Strength training increases muscle tissue and gives shape and structure to your muscles. Because fat is burned in muscle tissue, the more muscle you have, the greater your fat-burning potential. Weight training burns 4-10 calories per minute, depending on your size and fitness level. You are likely to experience the positive effects of resistance training very quickly. Research shows that muscle performance increases by percent after two months of strength training. Resistance training should be performed 2-3 times per week, or as recommended by your coach. Cardiovascular Exercise Proper metabolic or cardio training increases your cardiovascular fitness, circulation, endurance, burns calories and body fat, reduces stress and improves overall health and well-being. Cardiovascular exercise utilizes body fat and carbohydrates for energy, allowing the body to deliver a significant amount of energy for long periods of time. The body burns fat most efficiently if the muscles are worked with short very intense (anaerobic) bursts of energy followed by short periods of rest then repeated. High intensity interval training, HIIT, has proven, both in the lab and in the gym, to be far superior for fat loss than traditional long steady-state aerobic exercise. Essentially, intense anaerobic exercise in short bursts followed by short periods of rest for minutes forces the body into what is called the afterburn affect. In afterburn your body will continue to burn calories at an accelerated rate, with a slow taper, for up to 48 hours. This affect does not occur with traditional steady-state aerobic exercise. Body Composition One pound of fat burns approximately eight calories daily and stores 3,500 calories of energy. The two keys to changing body composition are performing activities that cause your body to use its stored fat and strengthening muscles to become better fat burners. This can be accomplished through a healthy diet, resistance training and cardiovascular workouts. One pound of muscle tissue burns approximately calories daily and stores 450 calories of energy. While rapid weight loss may be temporarily satisfying, your percentage of body fat may not decrease significantly. By fueling your body with proper nutrients, your body will transport fat into the muscle to be metabolized and result in a decrease of fat tissue. Fat Loss vs. Weight Loss It is important that altered body composition and fitness goals are attained through fat loss and lean muscle tissue gain, not weight loss. Calories are burned in muscle tissue. One pound of muscle burns approximately calories daily and stores 450 calories of energy. Conversely, body fat is a storehouse for calories. One pound of fat burns approximately 8 calories daily and stores 3500 calories of energy. A minimum of 25% of weight lost quickly (more than 2.5 pounds per week average) will be lost from lean muscle tissue. If 25% or more of the weight you lose is from lean muscle tissue, you will easily regain the lost weight, and will likely gain additional weight. Rapid weight loss and under-eating cause muscle tissue to be used for energy, which decreases metabolism. Providing your body with the food and nutrients it needs, will sufficiently fuel working muscles, initiate fat loss and develop a healthier metabolism. Supplementation and your fitness goals When attempting to lose fat while gaining muscle tissue it becomes virtually impossible to receive the necessary nutrients from food alone. The formula for losing fat, while increasing lean muscle tissue, is a combination of a nutritionally dense caloric intake and proper exercise prescription. In order to continue building muscle, it is necessary that your diet includes a specific amount of nutrient-dense calories, which must continually increase as your lean muscle grows. The three primary purposes of supplementation are to provide nutritional insurance for optimal health, to provide nutrients without the addition of calories and to provide readily available nutrients at the proper times and in the proper quantities, in response to exercise. The key to achieving your ultimate body is to direct the body to use its stored fat to supply the extra calories needed to build or sustain muscle, therefore, simultaneously reducing your fat stores. This is building and sustaining muscle at the expense of your body fat. This can be accomplished through proper food intake, resistance training and cardiovascular workouts. One of the major benefits of having a dietician on staff is that she is always willing to give you more information on the benefits of supplementation, as well as make recommendations that may help you reach your fitness goals.

5 What Our Members Say: The instructors each have their own style, and are all professional, knowledgeable, helpful and genuinely caring. The classes are conveniently scheduled and there is something for everyone, no matter if you are at a beginning level, as was I, or more experienced, as I am now. Just one hour a day can really make a difference! Onnie I have met some great people through the club and the nutritional program. This is the longest I have EVER remained motivated. The staff members at Eastpointe are great at keeping you on course and motivated! Nancy What I appreciate the most about the Eastpointe training atmosphere is the collaboration between the staff, the trainers and other gym members. I have had personal experiences where trainers have approached me to show me new exercises or correct my form, even though it was not their obligation to do so, rather their passion for what they do. Lauren I have not missed a day of working out in almost two years! Eastpointe Health and Fitness is not just another workout facility. They take a comprehensive approach to both physical and mental wellness and develop a personalized all-inclusive training program tailored to each individual. Dave There are plenty of days when I get out of bed and dread dragging my tired bones to the gym, but knowing that I ll see some familiar faces and friendly smiles makes me feel good about showing up every day that I am able. I also believe that seeing some of those faces each day helps me stay accountable to myself and my goals Beth I lost 70lbs and it was amazing!! All the years prior, I could not see myself in a gym, however at that moment I could no longer envision not being in a gym and more importantly not being in Paul s gym. I had maintained my weight loss and routine for an extended period of time and it was simply unbelievable. Michael
