IT Difficulties... Sorry!

Hi everyone just wanted to let you know we had some IT issues with some of our e-mails and our blog account.

That is the reason we haven't been able to post more frequently since December. Thankfully things have been fixed and everything is going well.

Besides that at Electra we are having fun and enjoying the start of the new year. So many new faces and some folks who come for the season, or have been away for a while from the gym are back!!!

We are glad to have you at our facilities and we promise to keep working hard to provide you with the best service.

Thank you!
