Come in and see what our personal trainers have to offer, each and every one a leisure science major with at least a B average! Introducing Lars, our aerobics guy (to replace Phil, whom we wish well in his new major, art). Welcome Natasha, our exchange student from the Ukraine. When she says “Hit ze ground and do ze bush-ops,” you’d better not make fun of her accent! And last but never least — Toshio, fast as a shinkansen and just as punctual. (Also T.A.-ing JAP 101, sections 1 & 2.) If he can’t teach you ju-jitsu, he’ll teach you other useful vocabulary. Still offering GRAND OPENING rates until midterms.
