Q: IS SHAVING EVERY DAY BAD FOR
THE FACE?
A: Shaving is excellent as it effectively
exfoliates your skin. When you shave
you are removing hair, dirt, oil, and also
dead skin cells. Your skin never stops
growing new cells and when the old
cells die and stay on your skin, they lead
to oil deposits, ingrown hairs, clogged
pores, and dull skin. If you’re seeing
irritation or bumps, consider your razor.
Many men are switching to a straight
razor due to razor burn. Using a straight
razor takes practice, but you can get a
great shave with only one pass causing
less irritation. We recommend letting an
expert show you the way, so it’s best to
have a licensed barber deliver your first
straight razor shave so they can safely
introduce you to proper shaving.

Q: HOW DO I KNOW WHICH GROUP
EXERCISE CLASSES ARE BEST FOR ME?
A: Any class that inspires you to
regularly attend is the best class for
you. Once you begin, your group fitness
instructor will be a pro at helping you
get through the most challenging of
classes. Week by week you will improve
and get stronger and the class that
seemed impossible the first time you
attended won’t seem so difficult after
several weeks. A few things to consider
when choosing what’s best for you:
-Determine the time of day that will
work best for your schedule.
-Decide what specific benefits you want
to achieve from your workouts. If you
are unsure what benefits each type of
class provides, reach out to the Group
Exercise Director for guidance.
-Don’t worry so much about whether
the workout may not be your level
because your level will improve
in a short time. You do need to be
challenged if you want to continually
see fitness improvements.
-Give yourself several weeks to try
several class types, instructors and time
slots.
