The North Shore's Newest Race Team SpiderOne Racing welcomes Max Potential Athletes to join forces in 2012

Salem, MA, December 8, 2012 – B&S Fitness Programs (http://www.bnsfitness.com/), the largest provider of fitness programs on Boston’s North Shore, are proud to announce their new race team named SpiderOne Racing which will kick off January 12, 2012.

SpiderOne Racing will be the only team on the North Shore to offer five or more coached workouts per week year round. Members can join for an annual fee or select one of the coaching packages that SpiderOne offers. Packages range from Unlimited which will be unlimited workouts, season planning, race goals, nutrition tracking, discounted massage and much more to one coached workout per week just for some extra motivation. B&S Fitness will be donating a portion of the team proceeds to Leukemia Research and the American Diabetes Association so members are actually racing and training for a cause as well.

According to Brandi Dion, Co-Owner of B&S Fitness and Team President, “SpiderOne Racing is a comprehensive year round race team that will be open to all levels and abilities. By offering year round coaching and weekly structure for our athletes, we will help them reach a new level of personal athletic performance. This team is going to redefine what clubs and teams offer their members."  "We are also very excited to partner with Max Potential which brings us a great and well know running coach (Dennis Floyd) on the North Shore.                                                                                                     

Dennis Floyd, Member Manager, and a co-Owner of Crossfit IronSpider, and Founder of Max Potential stated that, “We decided to partner with SpiderOne Racing because I believe that it is a great opportunity to bring to teams together to create one amazing team with some incredible coaches to all our current members and reach out to other athletes on the north shore”. Ms. Dion goes on to state that, “SpiderOne Racing will draw a wide variety of athletes such as runners, swimmers, cyclists, triathletes and adventure racers together rather than just have a single focus like many teams or clubs".

The origin of SpiderOne is quite unique and very personal to Brandi and Steve Dion, Co-Owners of B&S Fitness. The team was developed to honor Steve's father, William Dion who passed away of Leukemia in February of 2008, just three months before his grand daughter Mackenzie was born. After learning of his illness one of his goals was to make it to the birth of Mackenzie but because of the aggressive nature of the cancer he lost his battle too soon to see her born. We wanted to honor the amazing man he was and his many accomplishments in some manner. Bill was a member of the FBI's very first SWAT Team called Spider-One and with his blessing before he passed we chose to honor her with Spider-One as a middle name. Although Bill was not alive when Mackenzie Spider-One Dion was born, his spirit will always be with her and with us.
