    Will there be an Olympic boost this year?

    In 2000 and 2004, I guess gyms didn't have the boost in enrollment they were expecting do to the Olympics. In 2000, the team didn't win anything so people said that's what the problem was. In 2004, they won a lot but apparently there was still no boost. What do you think will happen this year?

    Summer advertising/Olympics

    I'm looking for some good ideas to tie our summer session into the Olympics. Something to advertise to the community to bring in more students through the summer which is normally the slowest time of the year. Any ideas?

    You can now buy Olympic leotards...

    I just noticed that GK are now selling all of the Adidas Olympic leotards...probably a little pricey but hey, I suppose it's cool for kids to be able to wear them (not that I agree with it). It's a shame though - they're only available in the USA/Canada. My favourite Terin Humphrey leo :( :( :(
