Commack-Dix Hills Fit Club Aims to Help Residents Stay Active

Gail and Scott Janicola run a Beachbody, P90X-inspired workout fit club out of Commack Middle School.

Gail Janicola, a Beachbody fitness coach, started a Fit Club in Commack/Dix Hills at in September and said she thinks it will continue to grow with the holiday season. 

Janicola and her husband Scott, run the program on Tuesday nights from 7:15 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. in the middle school cafeteria for parents, community members and anyone interested in learning about nutrition and trying out the Beachbody workouts. 

Last weekend, Janicola organized a P90X event – with fitness instructor Tim Horton – to show people the system and help them understand how it works.

Janicola will be submitting weekly posts to Commack Patch with information on the community Fit Club at the middle school, nutrition tips and things you can learn by attending the clubs.
