Throwing Down a Fitness Challenge

 

Marian Keegan, owner of The Art of Fitness, is issuing a fitness challenge and a chance at six weeks of free gym membership to those who visit with a trainer from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, Jan. 21, 1080 S. Coast Highway.

 

Those who become gym members (at $299, a $900 value) will receive access to classes, weekly monitoring, and a meeting with Tony Hardridge, an accredited University of Pennsylvania nutritionist and four-time power lifter. Personal goals will be determined with a trainer.

 

All of this is to ensure that members have every tool available in order to reach their fitness goals, said Keegan, who also is offering an incentive of six weeks free use of the gym for those who meet the initial six-week challenge.

 

Keegan has her own goal: Laguna ranked as the fittest town in the country.

Business Ethics Examined

 

The Rohr Jewish Learning Institute will present their new course, Money Matters: Jewish Business Ethics beginning Sunday, Jan. 29, 11 a.m. at Chabad Jewish Center, 30804 S. Coast Highway.

 

Rabbi Eli Goorevitch of Chabad Jewish Center will conduct the six-week course.

 

“The recent failures in the financial industry have drastically changed the way we think about business,” explains Goorevitch,  “At JLI, we deeply believe that business should be a force for good, and that’s why we’re presenting students with timeless Talmudic insights into real-world ethical dilemmas.”

 

Spanning a wide range of subjects, Money Matters discusses the personal ethics of bankruptcy and freeloading. Questions regarding topics in social ethics such as living wages, insider trading, CEO compensation, and collective bargaining are some of the topics addressed.

 

The course is designed to appeal to people at all levels of Jewish knowledge, including those without any prior experience or background in Jewish learning. All JLI courses are open to the public.

 

Interested students may call Chabad at (949) 499 – 0770.
