It was a very difficult process. So many of you submitted great entries. But after dozens of entries, some hand wringing and debate among our judges, the winner of the First Annual Guru Makeover is…….

Christine Barker of DUMBO, NY!

Stay tuned for updates on Christine and her fabulous makeover.

And thank you to everyone who entered!! We are going to have lots of other great contests in 2010, so stay tuned!!

Podcasts

So a few brave people have tried the new Free Personal Training Podcasts and the feedback has been fantastic. It’s so easy to use. Download the podcasts from our ever-expanding library HERE, add the podcast to your iPod, and come into the Guru for a workout with your Cyber-Trainer. Michael will guide you through a variety of workouts with an eclectic mix of music and various workout times! Check it out now and catch the wave!!

So we have a plan– The First Annual Fitness Guru Makeover.

We will take one lucky person (though, who knows, maybe others) and we will help them hit the ground running in 2010– personal training, Pilates, yoga, fitness classes, weight training, nutrition– anything and everything that will help this lucky person achieve the goals that he or she sets for him/herself– all for FREE! The catch (there has to be a catch, right?): the whole process is going to be captured on film and video so that all the members of the Guru community can take part in the transformation, learn from it and become inspired by it. This way, we will all be working toward making 2010 the most successful Resolution year ever!! EVER!!!!

Still interested? Here’s what you need to do: first, read over the Rules and Regulations; next, write 150 words on why you feel you should be the winner of the Makeover. Try to be specific but not too long-winded, because, honestly, in an age of Twitter, do any of us have the ability to focus for more than 150 words? Finally, email your entry to makeover@fitnessgurunyc.com. That’s all ya have to do!

The deadline is December 30 at midnight and the winner will be announced on January 5th, 2010.

You may only enter for yourself and you may only enter once, so if you have a friend or loved one whom you think might like this, pass along the info and get them to write a little something.

Spread the word!

And Happy Holidays!!!
