Spirit Midwest 2009
July 17, 2009 by Deb
A few weeks ago I spent a Saturday at Spirit Midwest. This is an all day/night event of several Christian bands.
This was my first time ever going so I wasn’t sure what to expect but none the less we decided at the last minute that we’d have a booth there to promote Crosstrain’s online gym membership.
As my husband and I were getting set up before the event actually started we were putting up a tent and getting stuff put out and we were placed right next to one of the bands that was to preform that day.
I had to admit that I really didn’t know their band because I don’t listen to the radio since I listen to music all day long at Crosstrain. I did feel bad as I knew they were the headline band of the night so I was sure they were probably pretty good and they had traveled all the way from Nashville, Tennessee to be a part of this event!
As we both were getting things set up for the day, I started chating with one of the gals that was getting things set up for this band. The band was “Chad Gentry” and little did I know that the people who were sitting things up WERE the actual band members!
I told them a little bit about what I do and gave them a card with a free 3 month trial membership and told them I’d love to have them give us a try. Beth the girl in the band replied, “it would be a long haul for us to come to Ankeny from Nashville”. I then explained that no this was a online gym membership and that anyone anywhere could join and use our tools and Christian programs that we had available. She was excited as she shared with me that she needed to lose weight because she and her dad had a bet…if she lost weight he’d stop smoking! I was thrilled and delighted in the challenge to help her do just that!
Anyway, I told her to get online and start using our program and that I’d help in any way I could. I don’t know IF she or any of the members of the band have gotten online to try us out, but if they do I want them to know I’m ready!
As the day went on, I did get to hear their band play and WOW they were great! I got a CD and a shirt (which they all signed), and even got Chad to give me the rights to play his music in my gym! So listen local CT folks you just might hear one of his songs! You can check him out at: myspace.com/chadgenty. My personal favorite song that he sang was: FOUND.
So Beth, IF you are up for the challenge give me a shout and I will help you to reach your goals….get your dad to stop smoking and we can use you as an example that anyone, anywhere can use our Christian program and work on making our bodies the Temple that God has given us! Game on!
