All those classes when you didn't want to exercise or even be there, but when you arrived, you got this burst of invisible excitement and energy, well we have to give some of it back. UFIT is being battled with extreme rental increases and space limitations for the classes. I cannot understand how they would want to stop or limit this amazing class from happening, when the benefits to a healthy PEI are so strong. Having a healthy PEI can only make us a stronger PEI.
Eireann Rigby, the owner of UFIT, is an amazing soul that will help you become healthy in whatever way she can. Her incredible spirit and love for fitness created UFIT into the safe, happy, healthy place that it is today. Eireann's commitment to UFIT, healthy & community helped UFIT win the BDC Young Entrepreneur Award for 2009. Please take a look at the blog entry congratulating Eireann on an awesome job well done!
The new policy states that:
-UFIT can ONLY access the gym 3 times per week in any one School
-UFIT will have NO ACCESS to the gym during Holidays, storm days, March and X-mas break and Summer Vacation.
-UFIT will pay have to pay triple the National Standard for rental fees. This fee would in effect put us out immediately in Montague and St. Jean.
Anyone who has been to UFIT knows all to well the benefits of the classes, not just physically but the emotional help that comes along with it. I have blogged them before, but now they really need our help to continue helping us. Personally, UFIT has helped me so many times mentally and physically.
The three people below need to become aware why you love UFIT and how it is has changed your life and the community. You can contact them via email and let them know your opposition to the changes.
1) Dr. Alex (Sandy) MacDonald, Superintendent

2) Mr. Robert S. Clow
Board Chairperson

3) Marjorie Steves
Director of Corporate Services

Take a look at the photos that I captured during a UFIT class. If you look closely, or maybe you don't even need to look that close. Notice all the smiling and happiness. I for one cannot explain to you how happy UFIT makes me and how I would be extremely disappointed to hear of it being limited. Let's stick together and let people know how important UFIT is to all of us.

(01.09.10)As someone who is working hard to be a healthy person, which is a huge struggle. It is really disappointing to see that anyone would try to hurt such a wonderful organization. We should be encouraging Eirann and her company for helping Islanders get fit. I know I will definitely be writing to those individuals.
