Fitness First Manila Celebrates Its First Year Anniversary
A friend’s SMS stated that there was going to be a Body Jam Marathon at Fitness First Philippines Manila on 26 July 2006 at 7pm. Off I went, but it turned out that the marathon was part of the line up of activities to celebrate Fitness First Manila’s first year anniversary.
However, the program was changed without notice to make way for an hour-long line up of performers from the well-known The Library comedy club, which resulted in the cancellation of the Body Jam marathon.
Instead, there was a Body Jam tribe contest wherein 3 members band together to form a tribe and follow a Body Jam instructor for one short choreography stint on the spot.
I remarked dryly, “The only way I’ll get to dance tonight is if I join the contest.”
My friend took an off the cuff remark and turned it into reality by volunteering me to complete a two member group missing one member. By my joining up, we were able to form the required tribe of three.
Of course, I loved the fact I was able to dance, but the sudden physical demands produced an exercise induced mild asthma attack (LOL), which I submitted to after our turn (the show must go on and all that).
I didn’t even stick around to find out who won, but went about my business within the gym premises. My friend had to call me on my mobile to give me my prizes, which he received on my behalf.
The shocking surprise was my tribe had ended up in second place, plus I won Best Female Body Jammer for the night. And that’s how I ended up with a Coca-Cola clock as the prize for the second place and a Whey Protein Supplement for the Best Female Body Jammer. A pretty good haul for an on the spot decision to just go for it, I must say.
