COMMUNITY:

In addition to several small donations throughout the year, we devote 1 week in December to benefit a local charity. Our staff donates their time, and clients donate towards the classes. 100% of the donations stay local to the Bath-Brunswick area to help those in need. Thank you to our staff & clients-
in 2007 we raised $1200 for the Salvation Army, exceeding our donation in 2005, and 2006!!

2008 we raised $525 for the Salvation Army, and $560 for the LaRomana, Dominican Republic Mission Trip, for $1085 total!!!! Thank you to all who helped with both of these wonderful charities!

We are a GREEN facility! We recycle, use a compost bin, use "green" cleaning products as much as possible, support products Made in the USA, and Buy Local. We made great strides in 2010 as we discontinued our retail clothing (lululemon) because it is made in China. We have expanded our retail line in 2011 to carrying only products made in USA!
