Adam Staats
On this day, July 2, 2009, at around 7:30 a.m., our friend Adam Staats passed away from liver cancer. Both Adam's wife Lori and I greatly appreciate all the prayers and all the emails and well wishing that many of you have sent over the past five months. In life Adam was a very kind, quiet, and soft spoken person and a great friend and husband to Lori. In death he will be sorely missed by those who's lives he touched. Tonight Adam trains in GOD'S GYM, without pain, without fear, and with the understanding that one day we will all be there with him.

In loving memory, Mike D

Client of the Month
Kim Barone
Kim was selected as June's client of the month for her outstanding determination and overall improvement in health and fitness. Kim came to the fitness factory almost 8 months ago to better her health and learn more about training. With very little knowledge about nutrition and weights, Kim attended her first Fitness Factory Camp with a lot to learn. Kimmie has made huge strides in her knowledge as well as what she has been able to do cardiovascularly and physically. Kimmie had goals of getting on stage to compete at some point and she did just that. She placed in the top 10 in both the open and the novice figure division at the 2009 NPC Julie Palmer Ultimate Showdown May 31. Congratulations to Kimmie for all her success and good luck to her as she continues on her journey.
