Health clubs amp up their perks to win members

Boot camp, Qi Athletic Club A desire for connection compelled Chris Lindley to open Qi Athletic Club just months after his return from the Iraq War in 2005. "The camaraderie I had with the people I worked out with (while deployed) is what brought me home not only safe but sound," says Lindley, pictured above helping Ashley Elder in a boxing workout. "Fitness saved my life there, and what I'm really trying to do here is create a community of like-minded people who can accompany one another on their journey to health. I've found few people who can do everything by themselves; we all need support." That much is clear from a glance at one of the former first lieutenant's boot camp sessions. The sudden blur of dozens of jumping, sprinting, lunging bodies in colorful workout gear gathered in an alley behind Qi's converted warehouse space makes for a startling sight in the deserted Ballpark neighborhood on a Saturday morning. A full 60 participants in the 9 a.m. session surprises even Lindley 鈥� not least the two octogenarians over in one corner, coaching each other through the moves.

"Everything's connected; the energy from one person flows to the next," says the philosophical former soldier.
