New workout facility in Mabel promises to be 'user-friendly'
The residents of Mabel will have their own fitness facility to work out at very soon and, according to owners Terry and Jean Ingvalson, it has been something that the community has needed for some time.
"There has been a need for something like this for a while," explained Jean Ingvalson. "I didn't feel like we should have to drive to other communities to exercise, and now, with our facility, people in Mabel won't have to."
New U Fitness, located in the Village Furniture building officially opened on Tuesday to the public and is a 24-hour, seven-day a week keyless entry facility.
"We want people to come and have fun," said Jean. "We don't want it to just be a workout; we want them to enjoy it."
The facility has several cardio-vascular machines, which include two treadmills, two bikes and two elliptical machines; upper and lower body strength machines, barbells for free weight workouts and the popular exercise ball and exercise bands.

"If I want to do something, I just block off time," he says. "You have way more control over your life than people think." His joke about being young "last year" isn't so far off. "In some ways, I'm probably an 11-year-old boy," he says, "and in other ways, I'm a hard-nosed businessman." The 11-year-old? "I like to laugh.
