Congratulations October Employee of the Month!


The Fran shows G in T that she's got what it takes too! Having been present when the photo was snapped, suffice to say, the grainy black and white does not do this fitness goddess justice!

Newlywed Lins stays true to her commitment...

Gorgeous setting, and beautiful glowing bride!

How can you do pushups when you have hundreds of pounds on your back?! It started out as pushups, and ended up like this! By the way, I got a spinal tap from Tracie Powers’ knee! PushOver Ward

Pushing with our favorite clients at Pre-Con












CMR Welcomes Daikin AC.
Let us know when you are ready for the next round!

Mountain of Hope, Marian House Fund-Raiser this weekend.







CMR Team: I am pleased to announce the results for the 1st annual "Mountain of Hope" Swim & Spin-a-thon fundraiser September 12 - 13, 2009 where all proceeds benefited the Marian House Soup Kitchen. As you know, Catholic Charities has been serving the Colorado Springs community since 1968 and has been operating the Marian House Soup kitchen since 1985. In June 2009, the new soup kitchen opened its doors and the number of people coming to them for a hot meal has increased over 40% in just the past 12 months to over 500 a day. The Marian House is the only soup kitchen in the Pikes Peak region that offers a hot meal 365 days of the year.

Thank you to the creative organizers on CMR’s DELIGHT team, the tenacious fund-raisers in Aquatics and Fitness, the high-energy Instructors in Fitness, the hard-working mountain-building/bike-hauling/can-toting executers in Operations.. and all those who volunteered their time, money and energy toward this event. I am pleased to say we raised ~$5500 for this wonderful cause.

Special appreciation goes to all those who woke at 4:30am and were there Pushing/Swimming/Spinning/Can-handling for this event in 50 degree temperatures yesterday. Your good work will feed nearly 2000 hungry COS citizens. Thank you all. Laura

P.S. Pushers Princess Jess, The Gracious Athlete, Guns in Tights, Spin Doctor and F.o.N. are featured Pushing for the Cause. However, Colonel Kanders, The Fran, and O.K. all did their share!

Road Warrior summits Machu Picchu







7,000 feet above sea level and nestled on a small hilltop between the Andean Mountain Range, the majestic city soars above the Urabamba Valley below. The Incan built structure has been deemed the “Lost Cities”, unknown until its relatively recent discovery in 1911. Hikers, tourists, and the early explorers describe similar emotions as they climb their way through the Inca Trail. Many call the experience magical making it a must for anyone who travels to Peru.

Naples Bay Resort Joins the Challenge!!!


Here are some pictures of me pushing with Anne and Eric, members of our Naples Bay Resort family in Florida. I was working out in the gym this morning and started talking to the fitness director about our "100 push ups" challenge. After showing her the website and reading some inspirational stories, she was hooked. She was so excited that she grabbed the closest employee and we started pushing for the camera. I'm really enjoying the benchmark camaraderie here in Florida, thanks Anne and Eric. Next I will be working on getting the other departments to step up and try the challenge. CMR push ups have made their way down to south Florida.

Wall Chair Challenge, Tuesday, August 26, 2009










A great competition today. WOW. For those who were not present, we had a good dozen at the wall. Many made it to 4 minutes. Our very own TurfTamer, Dave Grimes surprised us all by surpassing 5 minutes with perfect form (and for a minute or two with crossed leg)--all he needed was a smoke and a Coors to make that photo priceless. WonderWomanLegsofSteel and Princess Jess came in 3rd. Lightning Aussie ranked 2nd (but held her form to perfection longer than all): The Fran and Fleet Feet tied for 1st (surpassing 10 minutes). As the stakes have grown higher, Drill Sergeant Lopez has insisted on judging the next round and demanding perfect 90 degree form from all. We’ll let you know when the next round is just as soon as Group Rooms closes a whale! I guarantee it will not be for the faint-hearted.
