Sponsored Post: Oakfield Fitness, a convenient and well-equipped place to maintain health

By Press Release

A busy MBA student at St. John Fisher, Katie Joslyn, needs to make sure never has an excuse for missing a workout.

The 22-year-old Oakfield resident said Oakfield Fitness and Cross Training Center, at 116 N. Main St., is perfect for her. It's right in the village, is open 24/7, and has all the cardio and weight machines she wants to use.

"I've seen it grow," said Joslyn, who has been a member since the gym first opened at a smaller, store-front location. "It's really become something. It's a lot better than it used to be. I love coming here."

Oakfield Fitness moved just a few weeks ago, going from 1,800 square feet and multiple small rooms, to three logically organized rooms in 3,600 square feet. There's a room for weight machines, a cardio room and a cross-training room.

All of the equipment is quality Life Fitness machines.

A basic gym membership is $30 a month with no other fees and no annual contract. Cross-training members pay $80 per month and have access to the cross-training room and a cross-training coach during scheduled times.

By Lisa Ace

STOP THE PANIC!
 
I have MANY computers running Windows XP. My updates are turned off and have been since 2006. I only install Service Pack 3 and the Daylight Savings Time patch. I also, by the way, have a Windows 2000 workstation (support ended in 2009) – IT WORKS FINE.
 
I don’t need, and don’t want, Microsoft’s updates. I haven’t needed them in 8 years, I won’t miss them after April 8th.
 
I have been in the computer business for 27 years – I stake my reputation on what I am telling you. Read my article on “Why you don’t need to replace your XP computer” at WWW.BATAVIACOMPUTER.COM

The gym has moved from a location where there was only 1,800 square feet and equipment was distributed among several small rooms, to one with 3,600 square feet and three large rooms.

There is one room for strength equipment -- Hammer Strength machines from Life Fitness -- a room of cardio machines, including Life Fitness treadmills and bikes as well as rowing machines, and a cross-training room with free weights and various training aids.

The gym is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and a basic membership is $30 per month (no other costs, no annual contract).
