The fit folks at Aerobics & Iron, perhaps the
longest-running fitness program still ... ahem
... kicking in Boundary County, will welcome
participants to their new home this Thursday
above This Old Trunk in the old South Hill
Furniture building at 7219 Main Street, Bonners
Ferry.
Formerly located in the old American Legion
building on Kootenai Street, A&I's dedicated
clients took to meeting in private homes after
the Legion Building sold, and now that they have
a new permanent home once again, the
long-familiar faces behind A&I, owner Joyce
Hartbarger and instructor Rebecca Huseby, are
inviting new clients and old to stop in and see
if Aerobics & Iron is right for you.
"I've got some great news!" Huseby said. "As
most of you know, I've been an instructor with
Aerobics & Iron for many years. Now, fitness
classes come and go, and there are some valid
reasons why people come and go along with them!
I used to think that getting older meant you
just automatically had to stop doing the things
you loved. Well, that's just not so! I was in my
40s when I started instructing ... now I'm in my
60s, and guess what? I'm still able to "put my
right big toe into my left ear!" The flexibility
to thrive and enjoy life does not have to be
left behind as we grow older!"

Aerobics & Iron workouts are basically 10 to15
minutes of warm up to get the muscles ready to
stretch and strengthen, followed by strength
training, balance and flexibility.
During the
last segment, they focus on stretching to
produce more efficient blood flow to the muscles
and other tissues of the body.
They laugh a lot and just enjoy each other's
company, too!
Classes are held from 10:15 to 11 a.m. every
Tuesday and Thursday.
"Some of you have come to A&I classes in the
past, and we have changed our format some over
the years, but my goal as an instructor," Huseby
said, "is to help you have the best body you
can, no matter your age or health issues.
"It
doesn't take hours in the gym, which most of us
don't have time to spare, and it can be so much
fun to get fit with other folks who are doing
the same thing!"
The first session upstairs at This Old Trunk
kicks off at 10:15 a.m. Thursday, October 5.
Doors open at 10 a.m., please use the parking
lot in the back of the building or the city
parking lot and come in through the back
entrance. Bring water and wear comfortable
clothes that you can move easily in. You may
prefer to bring your own mat as well.
Cost is $5 per person per class, $25 per month
single, $35 per month for family members or $50
per month for three or more family members.
For more information or if you have questions,
e-mail Rebecca at
sasrebowup@yahoo.com or text (208)610-9690,
or call Joyce at (208) 267-2942.
"And please, spread the word!" Huseby asks.
"Everyone deserves the chance to be as fit as
they can be - sometimes all it takes is a little
help from a friend!" |
