Teri Kratz

Teri Kratz was named one of the top three Member Success Stories in the country by Anytime Fitness.  “Teri showed amazing commitment,” said Daly.  “She’s a busy wife and mother of 4 children, and yet she somehow found a way to turn her life around by working out at the Anytime Fitness club in Springfield 127 nights in a row.”

Kratz says when she first started working out at Anytime Fitness she could barely walk ten minutes at a time on a treadmill machine.  Now, she runs – and wins – 5K races.  She’s learned so much about fitness, in fact, that she’s become certified as a personal trainer and helps others achieve their fitness goals.  “Teri is one of the shining stars of the Anytime Fitness family,” said Daly.  “Her story is truly an inspiration to others.”

Aerobic and Strength Training

Weight training and stretching exercises go hand in hand. It is not true that weight training makes you inflexible, as long as you use full range of motion and do muscle stretching.

In contrast, aerobic training, like running, can make your muscles tight, so aerobic athletes need to stretch even more than other athletes.
