Island City Health & Fitness

Rumors have been circulating about the future of Island City Health & Fitness for quite some time, and here’s the truth: After a personal meeting with owner Reece Darham and the owner of Steel Gym, Ken Hunt, I found out that the two gyms are going to merge. What are the benefits for existing members? 1) Your membership prices are guaranteed to remain the same; 2) you will have a second gym (on 55 street in Miami) included in your membership at no additional charge; 3) a third gym in New York City (in the heart of Chelsea) to use for free until January 31, 2013, and after that just a very minor surcharge if you choose to upgrade your membership to a national one; and 4) the benefit of having another owner who compliments Reece’s expertise very well. What are the downfalls? NONE! This is a win/win situation...so congrats to all existing members of both Island City Health & Fitness and Steel Gym and to the owners of the new division of Steel Gym in Wilton Manors!

This is HOT

Twenty-five years after the phrase “Who’s Bad” became a generation’s cultural catchphrase, Epic/Legacy Recordings, in collaboration with the Estate of Michael Jackson, will celebrate the legendary album and record breaking BAD tour on September 18, 2012 with the release of a deluxe package, BAD 25, which includes three CDs, two collectible booklets, and features the first ever authorized DVD release of a concert from the record breaking BAD tour. 

The BAD 25 anniversary deluxe edition will feature three CDs and 1 DVD as follows:

• The highlight of the package is the DVD of Michael’s legendary July 16, 1988 concert at Wembley Stadium. The concert is not a compilation of performances, but rather one complete show, exactly as Michael performed it for Prince Charles, Princess Diana and the 72,000 fans who were in the audience for that night’s sold out show. This show was one of the record-breaking seven nights played at the venue attended by more than half a million people – three times that many people tried to purchase tickets. The DVD was sourced from Michael Jackson’s personal VHS copy of the performance as shown on the JumboTrons during the concert. This footage was only recently unearthed and is the only known copy of the show to exist. The visuals have been restored and the audio quality enhanced so that fans can share in the excitement of that famous night
• A CD of the re-mastered original BAD album
• A CD containing previously unreleased material recorded in Michael’s personal studio at Hayvenhurst.
• A CD showcasing the audio from the sound truck recordings of the July 16^th Wembley performance. The first-ever live Michael Jackson CD to be released, this is the only concert from the BAD Tour known to exist on multitracks

This magnificent 3 CD/1 DVD box set will also include two extensive booklets with yet unseen photos from the recording sessions, video sets and the concert tour, the original BAD cover art, a two-sided poster and more.  A BAD 25 two CD standard edition featuring the original album plus the CD of demos and new remixes will also be made available as will a stand alone edition of the DVD and a picture disc of the original album.
