California Wow faces fraud suit
Posted: at 1:13 pm
Members of the embattled health Club California Wow (CAWOW) on Sunday filed fraud charges against the bankrupt fitness operator for allegedly failing to provide the services agreed upon and to refund their membership fees.
The charges were filed with the Consumer Protection Police Division by about 50 members of the financially troubled health club accompanied by Saree Ongsomwang, secretary-general of Foundation for Consumers.
Ms Saree said her foundation had received complaints from 587 affected members under life-long, yearly and monthly membership contracts demanding a total of more than 30 million baht in compensation from the company.
CAWOW went into bankruptcy earlier this year and closed most of its club branches. Now It only has three facilities operating two located in Siam Paragon and Esplanade shopping centres in Bangkok and the other in Chiang Mai province.
The complainants living in Bangkok said it was inconvenient to travel to the two remaining facilities after the club branches near their residences had been closed down and they wanted to cancel their memberships. However, the company did not give any response when they demanded their membership fees be refunded.
They also said the company was still recruiting new members even though it was facing financial problems and was now under a business rehabilitation plan.As a result, the members saw this asfraud, Ms Saree added.
The Foundation for Consumers chief believed many affected people have not filed complaints yet because the fitness operator had more than 100,000 members nationwide.

'Orgy' club boss applies to council for health and fitness licence
Posted: at 1:13 pm
ROBERT McCLURE opened the venue near Glasgow city centre seven weeks ago and makes hundreds of pounds each week from organising seedy sex parties.
A SAUNA boss asking council officials to give him a health and fitness licence is making a fortune from cash-for-sex orgies.
Robert McClure
Robert McClure opened his 40 Fox Street club in Glasgow seven weeks ago.
It is advertised as a unique gay and bisexual venue. But we can reveal that 52-year-old McClure makes hundreds of pounds each week from organising seedy sex parties.
Titled Greedy Girls Night, he takes 20 from men to have sex with up to three women at his club. McClure, from Coatbridge, Lanarkshire, holds the nights twice a week and regularly attracts more than a dozen men.
Last month, McClure applied for a Public Entertainment (Health and Fitness) Licence. The permit lets businesses operate as a gym, sauna or massage parlour.
Licensing sources say McClures sideline would torpedo his chances and land him in trouble with police. A council source said: If the premises were to be operating in the suggested manner, then they may be committing an offence.
The club, near the St Enoch Centre, is accessed through a large metal front door with a security entry.
When our investigator was buzzed in, McClure took 40 for entry, claiming it covered a years membership.

Sex / Health / Fitness: When looking for love, what’s with all the hate?
Posted: at 1:13 pm
So Ill admit, I have an on / off again relationship with Grindr which Im sure is commonly shared amongst members of our community. My biggest qualm though isnt what youd think no, its not the countless headless torsos, weirdoes or instability of the app itself. Its all this internalised homophobia.
Cmon guys, what with all this No Femmes, No Asians, White only, Str8 Acting bullshit Im seeing? In the time Ive had the app, Ive come across an alarming number of profiles with this type of prolific racism and discrimination and its only getting worse, scarier is the fact that its somehow deemed acceptable amongst the user base.
Somehow it seems we have de-regulated traditional means of human interaction by creating a virtual environment where hiding behind a profile picture (that usually looks nothing like its user weve all had that experience, right?) and witty pick-up lines is an acceptable place for hurtful and unnecessary commentary.
Its only getting worse. Its somehow deemed acceptable amongst the user base.
Internalised homophobia and oppression is generally used to describe when an individual has been taught that heterosexuality is the way to be. Usually growing up in an environment that has created a perception that a certain type of masculinity and femininity is the correct portrayal of those genders. Even though these individuals may come out and be active members of our community, they bring with them, a certain perception of what is deemed acceptable for a man and woman to be.
Ive experienced it first hand with a guy I dated a little while ago, we caught up after things fizzled out between us and he was telling me about a new guy he was seeing (some guys move faster than others I guess) whilst I scoffed down on my Baskin Robbins. He went on to say that he met the new guys friends and one of them dressed strangely wearing heels to be exact.
He went on to say how completely wrong that was; somewhat trying to engage me into agreeing with him which I completely had no intention of doing. In his mind, a man shouldnt wear heels with the simple justification of it not being manly, but who was he to sit there and judge a complete stranger on the basis of his own perception of masculinity? I went on to state that being two young gay men living openly and facing adversity everyday, we should not be initiating negative judgment on those who are different dont you agree?
Weve got idiots in parliament saying that if our unions can be marriages we will open doors for beastliest (Oh, I cant believe that guy was serious I mean really Cory Bernardi? Really? ), our community has an alarming youth suicide rate and with the general inequality we face in our daily lives why are we, members of our beautiful and diverse community perpetuating this internalised hate? Vilifying people because of who they are, havent we all lived through enough to know that this is wrong?
Whether its an app, a comment or a conversation We shouldnt be casting the first stone.

Marching toward health: Camp Ripley hosts Wednesday wellness fair

St. Cloud Times
Published: September 30, 2012
CAMP RIPLEY -- The Minnesota National Guard will host a health and wellness fair for the soldiers and civilians who work on or at Camp Ripley from 10:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Camp Ripley is a 53,000-acre regional training facility about 40 miles north of St. Cloud for military, federal, state, local and civilian communities, according to officials. The event will be at the Training and Community Center.
"Our intent is to deliver wellness information to our employees holistically, so the event doesn't just span physical fitness, which is what a lot of people think of when they think of soldiers, here, in the Army," said Andrea Foote, state occupational health nurse for the Minnesota National Guard.
More than 40 vendors covering areas such as nutrition and mental health will be at the post, which served as a training location for the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, Department of Natural Resources and Department of Transportation. The event will include giveaways and food samples.
"We're reaching out to soldiers and civilians to do some diabetes screening because that's a huge issue, not only for us but nationwideand so we're really not that different from people who work out and about outside Camp Ripley," she said.
Camp Ripley is preparing for heavy use by military units from around the state and nation, including troops from Illinois, Iowa, South Dakota, Wyoming, North Dakota and Georgia, according to the Minnesota National Guard website.
"There are some soldiers who are out here working in maintenance and garage bays all day long and are on their feet and then there is someone like me who is a civilian here who probably sits behind a desk 75 percent of the time," Foote said.

Health and Wellness Channel to soon call Tampa home
Posted: at 9:16 pm
By Ashley Jeffery, Video Journalist Last Updated: Saturday, September 29, 2012 TAMPA --
At first glance, the inside of the 60,000-square-foot building at Grand Central Avenue and Kennedy Boulevard looks like a construction zone. But in just a few months, it will be the home of the Health and Wellness Channel.
Weve got our studio and master control against the glass down here on Kennedy Boulevard, so people can look in during shows," channel founder Drew Nederpelt said. "Its a cool way to have the community involved in what were doing."
Nederpelt founded the nations one of a kind, 24-hour channel and says its just what the country needed to promote to healthier lifestyles.
I got my clicker and flipped through 240 channels looking for the health and wellness channel and, alas, it didnt exist, he said.
The channel already lined up fitness celebrities and even decorated Olympic gymnast Shannon Miller to host shows.
Health and Wellness wont only be doing segments inside the studio, it will also take its shows into the courtyard so the public can interact with celebrities and fitness gurus who film segments.
Channel staffers have already reached out to their neighbors such as Powerhouse Gym to help them become a part of the Bay area community.
Weve already signed up for one show, spinning around the world, and were excited about that," said Matt Midyett of Powerhouse Gym. "Weve already made the stage in our group fitness room."

Hip Hop Grows Up, Inc. broke ground on one of three community gardens, at the entrance of Radium Gardens apartment complex.
The gardens are meant to improve health and fitness of the families in the area by providing them something to do, and a place to plant fruits and vegetables.
Students from Albany State University and the Darton State College Cheerleading squad were in attendance to lend a hand.
Jessica Dorsey, aHip Hop Grows Up Inc., intern said,"we feel it takes a village to raise a child, and we just want the whole community to get involved to help with our young youth of today, to raise them up so it will make a better community."
Hip Hop Grows up has two more gardens to plant in the neighborhood, before hopefully moving on to different locations around Albany.
