In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different.

JDFT is a prime example of something that has become irreplaceable in so many lives because it is so different.

Only at JDFT will you see or hear:

• Children running around in their pajamas
• A mom stop halfway through her workout to breastfeed
• The trainers work just as hard and usually harder than the members
• A group of women stop their workout to help someone who has never worked out before do her last burpee
• Someone start a sentence with "When I lived in Ecuador..."
• Someone do burpees and pushups until they can't walk and their arms hurt to touch
• Kids running around with and sometimes losing ham, yes like sandwich meat (random but not uncommon)
• The background story to each and every Bon Jovi song (if you care)
• That JDFT members are the mayors of several places around town because they're just that awesome
• Members band together to put on a VERY successful garage sale & silent auction in a week
• Trainers holding babies while moms workout (they just don't do diapers)
• Candid & VERY open conversations about pretty much anything
• Stripper Move Wednesdays
• Board games turn into full contact sports
• A nutrition class that talks just as much about "sexy time" as it does about actual nutrition
• Someone greet you by name every time you walk in
• Such a sense of community & team spirit
• Soooo many coffees brought to the trainers (and they have a coffee machine!)
• The trainer bring McDonalds to the gym & eat it in front of you while you workout
• The seemingly sweetest trainers laugh demonically when they tell you what you're going to do for your workout
• Animal yoga positions performed with sound effects
• Kids giving each other "tattoos" & also learning how to care for them
• Members do absolutely ANYTHING to help out whenever & however needed

These are just a few of the MANY reasons that I absolutely LOVE JDFT.  Thank you to Jo, Shannon & Amanda for all that you do in making the gym such an amazing place & somewhere for all of us to belong.

It's been 22 years of making records and I must have been to Japan 25 times or more. There's not too many things in the world I haven't seen.- Jon Bon Jovi

PS: I can think of one thing in particular that he hasn't seen ;)
