Wow Dawn, resorting to bribery to get ideas…….I like it!

Yeah not many people know about Xpressa & what she stands for, but I think your idea is cool. I think you should incorporate some tools that are classic weapons of choice for superheroes like Xpressa would utilize & then get creative & work backwards from there.

For example, I could see her utilizing something like a scepter, wand, lasso (I know, ripping this idea off from Wonder Woman) or maybe, just maybe, you could incorporate some portable, throwing weapons in the form of fruit or veggies (fake of course) like some apples, oranges, tomatoes, cucumbers, ears of corn & really hit home the importance of a solid diet as to how you achieved your success, in conjunction with your training at AF (sorry my examples are lame).

Don’t be afraid to plug AH as well….we won’t be mad at you –good luck!

When I think of Anytime Fitness, I think of the key fab that I use to get in ANYTIME I want! So, I think you should make a giant key fab that could be used to get you where you want to go anytime and double as a disk for your weapon or tool of defense. Either that, or you should use a kettle ball with the Anytime Fitness logo on it. You could use that to knock some sense into people- POW lol Good luck & have fun with your competition! ~Jenn

Your "utility belt" should be made of resistance bands, your "weapons" should include fruits and veggies ala Tony's suggestion (my hubby did once kill a bird with a banana-- had no idea they could be thrown like boomarangs!), a coaches timer around your neck, an Ipod/MP3 player around your bicep and a waterbottle (with a squirt top, of course) to stave off any miscreants thirsts.

Don't forget to send a pic!, this is going to be awesome, no matter how you go!!

I had the Expressa costume made by a local seamstress. Fitness Distributing makes dumbbells with the running man on them. They also are producing kettle bells and medicine balls with the running man. I have worn the costume in a 5k and for our county parade. The theme for our county parade was "Get with the times and work out at AF". I'm not sure it helped with AF brand recognition, but it was so much fun and people thought it was hiliarious. See below for links to the pics. Good luck with your AF!

A body bar would work well too. You could make sure it was light enough to get some good "super hero moves" out of it, but keep it a little heavy so that you'll keep a good pump on stage. Good Luck!

Dawn, plese forgive me for not answering your question; the other folks here have already done that and quite creatively I might add. Permit me this vehicle to tell Vicki that she had me on the floor with her bird and banana boomerang story.

I happen to be a master boomerang thrower and have been for decades. I can throw three consecutively, having all of them flying at one time. I just imagined myself at the beach with a bunch of bananas, hurling them like I do my rangs. I actually watch out for birds because there are a lot of them there. The thought was hilarious and since I have a banana shake every morning, I will be tempted to throw one... I'll make sure there are no birds in the way.

Thanks for allowing Vicki to completely crack me up!

How about an Anytime Fitness Waterbottle! Simple AND useful!

How about a handful of money with the price of that thing
