Military fitness instructor

Earlier this week I received this email -

John,
Greetings from Korea... I would just like to let you know my current situation. At this time, I am not able to continue my membership with ICI/PRO due to financial reasons. As you may not remember, I am in the US Army over here in Korea and someone in the States (most likely Washington) decided that we were getting paid too much and cut the BAH (Basic Allowance for Housing) and COLA (Cost of Living Allowance)... so, I lost over $500 this month, and have to pay for more out of pocket expenses. I would like to know if it is possible for you to keep me as a member and I pay at a later date? I will keep you informed of when and I will put some aside to make the payment. If this is not possible, please let me know.

Respectfully,
Tim [redacted]
SFC, US Army Korea

Yes Tim, I do remember you and how last year you requested that we host a conference in Taegu, Korea - Boston was a little too far for you to travel.

I don't know about you, but I feel very blessed by those who serve as Active Duty Military. It also brings me a lot of joy to know we have ICI/PRO members serving in Korea and the Middle East who are using our resources to keep their base personnel fit and ready for duty.

I'm also glad that I could help former Spinning MI Debbie Miller promote Sweat for a Vet - where 51 clubs, with hundreds of riders, will participate next Saturday 11/12 to raise money to help wounded warriors become fitness instructors.

I also feel very blessed by the support of the ICI/PRO community and felt compelled to do my part and give something back...

So I responded to Tim explaining that I had him covered and his subscription would continue. Not wanting to limit this to just Tim, I decided that new and renewing ICI/PRO members on active duty (any country)  will qualify for a 6 month Gratis level membership = FREE 🙂

Please forward this information on to anyone you feel would qualify. If you are aware of any Military Fitness Instructor social media groups or email lists, I would appreciate you posting this information.

Please contact us for more information.
