OT: Groupon for 67% off at Barwis Methods in Plymouth
I hope this isn't considered spam, as I have no affiliation with Mike Barwis or his company, but I saw this Groupon deal pop up on my phone today that I thought might be relevant to the interests of board members and decided to pass it along...

Barwis Methods
Anyone who’s followed the fate of the pigskin on a crisp autumn Saturday is familiar with Mike Barwis’s work, whether they realize it or not. As the former Director of Strength and Conditioning at the University of Michigan and West Virginia University, Barwis spent years forging iron-like athletes including playmakers such as Steve Slaton, Pat White, and Brandon Minor. Now, he splits his time, consulting for the New York Mets and overseeing operations at Barwis Methods, where he and his staff promote fitness through boot-camp classes, strength-training programs, and personal-training sessions. When bolstering the fitness of everyday exercisers, Barwis’s personal trainers draw upon their own experience with the nation’s athletic elite; between them, they have trained numerous collegiate all-Americans, Olympians, and professional athletes, including more than 225 NFL players and four Puppy Bowl participants.

Did you read about what diet he put the former UofM players on while training for the combine? It was like 3 lbs. of chicken breast and a gallon of plain greek yogurt. Per hour.

He's still working with a lot of former Michigan players, right? I wonder if he'd ever think of a place in Ann Arbor.
