Personal Training with Unlimited DEXA and VO2 Max

Custom Fit

Most training programs run on guesswork. Custom Fit replaces it with measurement. At its San Francisco studios, Personal Training and Partner Training memberships include unlimited DEXA body-composition scans and VO2 max testing — diagnostics usually sold one scan at a time or reserved for specialized clinics. Custom Fit members can test as often as they train. The reasoning is straightforward. A DEXA scan measures fat, lean muscle, and bone density with clinical precision. A VO2 max test measures the body's maximum oxygen uptake, one of the strongest predictors of cardiovascular fitness and long-term health. Run those tests on a regular cadence and a member can see exactly what is changing, where, and whether a program is working — rather than relying on the scale or the mirror. That is the idea behind Custom Fit's positioning: not a gym, a performance lab. Every program is built from a member's measured body composition and cardiovascular capacity, then adjusted as the data moves. The goal is to eliminate the guesswork that defines most fitness routines and to treat training as something you can verify. The model also brings longevity diagnostics that usually live in concierge medicine into a routine training week. Body composition and cardiovascular capacity are central markers of how well a person is aging, and regular testing keeps those numbers visible rather than treating them as an occasional, expensive add-on. Custom Fit operates in Hayes Valley (323 Octavia Street), on Market Street (1844 Market), and with a Downtown San Francisco location on Battery Street (570 Battery) opening soon. Personal Training, Partner Training, and select memberships include the testing. More information is available at customfitsf.com.

Fountainhead Montessori School 

Fountainhead Montessori Schools Educational Philosophy Dr. Maria Montessori revolutionized education with her dynamic theories, which are the basis for Fountainhead’s educational philosophy. Each child is an individual accorded the respect due to every person. At the same time, children are not miniature adults; instead they think and learn in ways unique to their special time in life. Fountainhead Montessori provides an environment for children to literally create themselves through purposeful activity. Children age 18 months to 6 years old experience and learn through all of their senses. Everything is hands-on. When activity is purposeful, developmentally appropriate, and, above all, fun, learning is joyful.

Help Save the Jewel of our downtown - our Iconic Depot. The Livermore Depot has stood on its historic site since the 1870's. William Mendenhall founded the City of Livermore so the Transcontinental Railroad would make a stop here. The Livermore Heritage Guild was founded when the city wanted to demolish the Depot in the 1960's. Now plans are being made to move it behind the parking garage on Railroad Ave. YOU can help Save our Depot by signing this petition. <a href="http://www.thepetitionsite.com/489/626/015/save-the-depot/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">www.thepetitionsite.com</a>/489/626/015/save-the-depot/ or GOOGLE "Save the Depot" and click on the Livermore one. It's urgent to sign ASAP.

Jon Lehre has performed stand-up comedy throughout California, participated in the 2020 San Diego Comedy Competition, and was featured on the story-telling radio program, The Moth, in 2021.

Starring
Phil Johnson
Phil Johnson has an action packed show filled with his two loves, comedy and music. It’s a show filled with sharp unexpected turns, sneak attack jokes, and hilarious songs that doesn’t shy away from controversial territory… race, sex, religion, and doughnuts – so many doughnuts – all delivered from the viewpoint of a guy who happily grew up in the deeply multi-everything community of the San Francisco Bay Area.
Phil has been seen and heard at the Sundance Film Festival, Edinburgh Fringe Festival, on Sirius/XM and Bob and Tom radio, and on Amazon Prime. He’s also released multiple comedy specials and albums filled with his colorful, tightly-written comedy.Bill&nbsp;SchottBill is a SF Bay Area native who has performed in venues all over California, some big, some very small and some unique (a laundromat and a junkyard to name a few). He has also performed in clubs in Paris, Madrid and Tokyo. He is the youngest of 7 siblings and his comedy is based mostly on real events, except for the parts that are totally made.
