Hi Everyone! Great News….. Mark Your Calendars…It’s official! The 2007 Cathe Road Trip will be held from Friday, August 10th through Sunday, August 12th!
We would like to thank all of you for your valued input as to when the Road Trip would be best for you. Your feedback along with our first choice hotel’s availability brought us to this selected date. This year we were lucky enough to find availability in our top choice hotels which are nice, comfortable, and best of all, just 12 minutes away from our club. A huge improvement from the 2005 Road trip in which, if you remember, we had to book 30 miles from the club due to local hotels being all booked up for summer.
We have a lot of creative and exciting ideas in the works for the 2007 Cathe Road Trip weekend, and I’ll post more details in the weeks to follow. For now, let me tell you that we have listened carefully to your great feedback from the 2005 Road Trip, and this year’s Road Trip promises to be an even bigger and better fun-filled weekend!
Here’s a peek at what we have planned:
HOTELS:
•Yippee,,,,we’ve been able to get preferred rates at our first-choice hotels, the Fairfield Inn Deptford and the all-suites Residence Inn Deptford, just a few miles down the road from our gym. These “sister” hotels are next door to each other, and the friendly staff is really looking forward to hosting our group. Details on how to call and book your room with our special rate will follow in another post.
•TRANSPORTATION DURING THE WEEKEND:
Leave the navigating and driving to somebody else! For this year’s Road Trip, transportation will be included in your registration fee. We’ll be providing you with round-trip bus transportation from the Fairfield Inn/Residence Inn for ALL Road Trip events on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Transportation between the Philadelphia Airport and the hotels is available to you via a wide variety of shuttle, limo and van services; we recommend Rapid Rover Shuttle Service and details will follow on that.
MEALS:
•We’ll have a nice spread of things to eat over the course of the weekend ……and you can bet we are going to feed you well!!! All scheduled meals will be included in your registration fee to keep things easy and running smoothly.
EVENT HIGHLIGHTS:
•Everybody hit the ground in NJ ready to laugh and play! Plan to arrive in time to catch the bus from the hotels to the 2007 Road Trip Meet & Greet Party at our gym from 6pm to 10pm on Friday, August 10th! I’ll be your hostess for this great get-acquainted event. While you mingle with your fellow Road Trippers, you’ll be able to munch on plenty of good food. The evening will be filled with lots of other get-acquainted games, activities and surprises, and we’ll also have Cathe gear and DVD’s available for purchase. Don’t miss it!!!
•I’ll teach at least 4 classes on Saturday and Sunday –- Step Aerobics, Kickbox, Boot Camp, and High Step Sculpt. Get ready to sweat!
•Light, nutritious snacks, a yummy casual lunch and beverages will be available for you at the gym on Saturday.
•While you’re resting between classes, awesome guest expert speakers will talk to you and answer your questions about a variety of fitness and wellness-related topics. We will also have a question and answer session with the main focus being on our new workouts and the products we are currently developing. This will include a presentation and demonstration of our new Ipod workouts.
•After the last Saturday afternoon class, you’ll ride the bus back to your hotels to shower (ahhhh) and get ready for Saturday night’s Fitness Feast dinner, to be held in a private room at Adelphia’s Restaurant! Once again I’ll be your hostess and we’ll provide bus transportation. It’s our chance to relax together, eat some great food, laugh and chat after our LOOOONG workout day. Look for some prize giveaways and other exciting entertainment after dinner. Don’t forget your camera’s!!!!!!
•And finally, after our Sunday “Early Bird” class the bus will take us all to Five Points Diner, where I’ll host our Farewell Brunch. We’ll all be ready for those pancakes, and maybe even some whip cream on top, LOL! There will be time for lots of hugs and pictures, too, before (sniff sniff) we have to say good-bye til next time! By the way, breakfast ends right around 11am should you need this info to look into available flights.
