FiNDiT2: The People![]() FREDERICK, MD — After more than two decades of working as a personal trainer, Brian Ricketts decided he wanted to continue helping others in a bigger way and open his very own gym. In 2011, Ricketts hoped to open this gym in the shopping center that currently houses the Ballenger Creek Anytime Fitness. However, at the time, the grocery store in the shopping center would not allow a gym, so instead Ricketts opened an Anytime Fitness in Damascus. After a few years of witnessing this location’s success, Ricketts decided it was time to open another. When he checked back in Ballenger Creek, the store that previously prohibited a gym was gone and the space for Anytime Fitness was available, so Ricketts knew he had to jump on the opportunity. In November 2015, Anytime Fitness’s Ballenger Creek location opened. To Ricketts, it is the perfect location because the quickly-growing region is surrounded by many houses, condominiums and townhomes — making the gym accessible to thousands of nearby residents. Approximately 11,000 people live within a mile radius of the gym, he said. “I like the Ballenger Creek area because there’s a lot of people within a couple miles of the shopping center,” he said.
![]() Other faces at Anytime Fitness Ricketts credits Manager Melissa Van Der Hulst with creating the friendly, welcoming culture at the Ballenger Creek Anytime Fitness. She became a member of Anytime Fitness in 2016, and nearly two years later joined the front office staff as a membership representative, and later was promoted to manager the following summer. Now, Van Der Hulst is being promoted again — this time, to a position at the Damascus location. This Anytime Fitness boasts four personal trainers who are happy to help members work toward achieving their fitness goals. One of these trainers is Sky Canine, who also runs the Core-22 Permanent Weight Loss Solution at the gym. Core-22, which was developed by Canine and Dr. Richard Schmitt, is a 22-principle weight management program with a system that holds each participant accountable. Participants are given daily feedback so they know what they’re doing right and what they need to change. Those who choose to join this program can join at any time and will appreciate having a support group of trainers and fellow members. Think this sounds like the right gym for you?

However, Ballenger Creek’s Anytime Fitness is different — it’s a community-focused gym that caters to the average person seeking to start a healthier routine. Want to learn more about Ballenger Creek’s Anytime Fitness? Keep reading and stay tuned for more this week, including a membership giveaway you can’t miss! Why choose Anytime Fitness in Ballenger Creek?![]() This 5,000 square-foot gym, centrally located on Ballenger Creek Pike, not only offers quality gym equipment for those who want to exercise on their own terms, but it also focuses on small group training, personal coaching and weight loss management programs to help members achieve their fitness goals. “We’re a coaching gym,” said Brian Ricketts, owner of the Ballenger Creek and Damascus Anytime Fitness locations. “We want to help you get results, so we’re going to give you as much help as you want us to give you. But it’s also more of a community feel. You know people by name; it’s not like a big club with thousands of people. We know people and there’s a great club culture.” Ricketts says that the average person who comes to this Anytime Fitness is "about 45 years old and wants to lose a little weight and get back into shape.” However, anyone 18 and older is allowed to join. Younger teens are welcome to join as well, but at least one of their parents must also be a member. Membership perks![]() Each month, Anytime Fitness offers a new member challenge, such as trying to wall sit for the longest amount of time, doing the most burpees in a minute or putting the most miles on the treadmill in a month. Another perk to joining Anytime Fitness is its extended hours, which make it easier for those with non-traditional schedules to still complete their exercise routine. Also, members can use any location they prefer among the 4,000+ worldwide— there are five in Frederick County and three within Frederick. “I think one of the benefits at Anytime Fitness is that it’s 24 hours” Ricketts said. “Whether someone works in law enforcement, fire and rescue, a restaurant employee, hospital worker, or any other job that has irregular hours, this is the gym for them.” Anytime Fitness in Ballenger Creek also offers a membership discount to military, fire/rescue personnel, law enforcement and Frederick County and Montgomery County Public Schools employees. Gym amenities and features![]() Anytime Fitness offers many amenities and equipment for every member, including: 24-hour access and 24-hour security Private showers Health plan discounts Treadmills Cardio TVs Elliptical cross-trainers Exercise cycles and spin bikes Rowing machines Stair climbers Free weights, dumbbells and barbells Plyometric boxes Squat racks TRX ...and more!

FiNDiT2: How It All Started![]() GETTYSBURG, PA — Like many places in Gettysburg, The Lodges at Gettysburg has a unique history. What is now a serene, modern event venue with rustic-yet-elegant private lodges was a diamond in the rough — a property previously owned by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Harrisburg and used for summer camps and retreats. When these camps and retreats were discontinued, the vast property overlooking the battlefield sat unused until two good friends discovered its potential. It took over a decade after the property purchase to open The Lodges, but persistence and hard work paid off. Now, The Lodges at Gettysburg is proudly owned by President and Co-Owner Shawn Cassidy along with Co-Owners Terry Harner, Lou Lupin and John Trapani. Before learning more about the history of The Lodges, check out some before and after photos of the construction below: Construction: Before and AfterTop row: The Lodges before and during construction. Bottom row: What The Lodges looks like now. A brief history of The Lodges at Gettysburg![]() It was 1996 when Cassidy flew cross-country from his native California to visit his close friend Terry Harner in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Harner brought Cassidy to the property, which was for sale at the time, and Cassidy couldn’t believe how spectacular the sweeping views were. “I made the trip, I looked at it, I loved it, and I said ‘I gotta have it,’” Cassidy said. While his goal was to make the property into “some type of special retreat,” the transition was not without some hiccups. The property sale closed in 30 days, but — long story short — it took more than a decade to get the building entitlements and another three years to build the lodges. “Fifteen years for our dream project,” Cassidy said. “And that was just to open the doors. [But] there was a passion to build this thing; we were committed.” One of Cassidy’s main goals was to ensure the Lodges complemented the surrounding natural beauty and wouldn’t be considered an eyesore by locals. Sitting atop one of the highest ridgelines in Gettysburg, the Lodges overlooks vast hallowed and sacred ground. Throughout the years, Cassidy and his team had to convince Gettysburg residents that the vision for the Lodges was appropriate for the space and would not be an eyesore. “We wanted to build something the community could be very proud of, that could service companies and organizations throughout the world,” Cassidy said. Shawn Cassidy — President and Co-Founder
Denise Schultz — General ManagerDenise Schultz has spent the last eight years as the General Manager of The Lodges at Gettysburg and brings with her a wealth of knowledge about the hospitality industry, previously working as the Assistant General Manager for an award-winning hotel in downtown Gettysburg. In addition to overseeing daily operations at the Lodges, Schultz can be found participating in every facet of the business from housekeeping to customer relations. “Denise is great general manager,” Cassidy said. “She knows every nook and cranny and every detail of this operation. To have someone that grounded to the whole operation… that’s rare.” Beth Senseney — Director of Events and Catering for The Lodges and the Carriage House Inn![]() Approximately a decade ago when The Lodges was under construction, the owners would fly in from California and enjoy dinner at the Carriage House Inn in Emmitsburg. Senseney, who at the time only worked for the Carriage House Inn, built up a rapport with Cassidy, Harner, Lupin and Trapani. When The Lodges sought an exclusive caterer for the venue, the Carriage House Inn stepped forward. Since then, the Carriage House Inn and The Lodges have become a close-knit team. Just like the Lodges, it is a family-owned and operated business. Currently, Senseney serves as the Director of Events and Catering for both The Carriage House Inn and The Lodges. The Inn, built in 1857, has hosted prominent figures including the Clintons and locally-based bestselling author Nora Roberts.

Everything you need to know about Frederick's Independence Day celebrationFrederick's Fourth is quickly approaching and you may have some burning questions: Where is the best place to view fireworks in Frederick? Can I bring my own beer? Is there anything else to do other than watch the fireworks? We have answers! If you live in or around Frederick, MD and are planning on celebrating the Fourth of July locally, let us be your guide to Frederick's Fourth in Baker Park. Activities and Events There are plenty of things to do at Frederick’s Fourth of July celebration whether you’re young or young at heart. The fun starts around noon, so bring your sunscreen and plan to spend the day downtown!
FoodPlenty of food vendors will make sure you don’t get hangry while celebrating Independence Day.
Beer, Wine and SpiritsBYOB (or wine, or hard lemonade, or whatever you fancy) is prohibited, but not to worry: a $5 one-time cover fee will get event-goers into any of the three beer, wine & spirits gardens set up for the Fourth. Each of the three gardens are located within Baker Park and will serve $5 12-ounce pours of local and national brews and 5-ounce servings of sangria, wine and signature cocktails from local distilleries. One of the three gardens allows guests under 21 as long as they are accompanied by a guardian.
FireworksSo, where are the best places to see Frederick’s Fourth of July fireworks? Since this year's bigger-and-better fireworks will be shot from Parkway Elementary School beginning at dusk, the best viewing locations are the Fleming Avenue Swimming Pool area, the Frederick High School lawn and the carillon area in Baker Park. You can still catch a glimpse of the show from the Drees Homes Bandshell seating area and other areas outside of Baker Park, however the views here are obstructed.
View this handy map from Celebrate Frederick to help you figure out where you'd like to watch. If you know of any other great place to watch the show and are willing to share it, leave us a comment! Final notes: We know you love your furry family members, but remember that fireworks can send dogs into a panic, so please don’t bring them to this event. Carroll Parkway between College Avenue and N. Jefferson street will be CLOSED to pedestrian traffic between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m. since it's in the fireworks fire line. This area, along with the Parkway Elementary School grounds, is also closed to seating. FiNDiT3: The giveawayIf you've been keeping up with this week's FiNDiT123 about downtown Frederick's newest holistic spa, perhaps you're motivated to try one of the spa treatments for yourself. It's your lucky day, because we have the perfect opportunity: Emmy’s Harvest is offering one free 60-minute detoxifying body wrap service (worth $99!) to a lucky winner. All you have to do is comment on our Facebook post with one other spa service you’d eventually like to try at Emmy’s Harvest. Be sure to read this week’s other FiNDiT123 blog posts below to learn more about the business and the services that are offered. What's a body wrap?You've heard of facials. Perhaps you've gotten one, or it's even part of your weekly schedule. However, one of the lesser known spa treatments is detoxifying body wraps, and Emmy's Harvest proudly offers this service. But what exactly is a body wrap, and what can it do? The 60-minute treatment uses a blend of USA-made M'Lis Natural Therapy products that include cellulite-targeting niacin, circulation-inducing cinnamon and deeply nourishing aloe. After the products are applied, the body is wrapped in plastic and the patient is covered with a towel or sheet for approximately half an hour. “[The wraps] actually detoxify the body and the tissues,” said Emmy's Harvest owner Noemi "Emmy" Costlow. “You can see that it tightens the skin and hydrates it.” After the session is complete, patients can expect to notice slimming effects as well as glowing, hydrated and firmer skin. Contest rulesNo purchase necessary. Must be 21 or older to enter.
Contest runs from 12 p.m. Friday, June 21 to 12 p.m. Monday, June 24. One winner will be selected randomly at 12 p.m. Monday, June 24 and will be notified through a tagged Facebook post and a private message with instructions on redeeming the service. This contest is run by Pulse Publishing; it is not endorsed, sponsored, or promoted by Facebook in any way. FiNDiT2: The ownerThere’s a new spa in town and owner Noemi “Emmy” Costlow is ready to share her healing talents with the Frederick community. “I love the vibe here,” she said. “I want people to know that I feel at home. I’ve finally found a place where I can not only give to the public, but it also gives me a lot of satisfaction.” Costlow owns Emmy’s Harvest, a holistic spa located on the third floor of 263 West Patrick Street. This spring, she moved to the area from San Antonio, Texas, where her healing journey began. InspirationAfter moving from Howard County, MD to San Antonio, TX in 2010, Costlow decided she was tired of working at an office job. She wanted to make more of an impact on people's lives, so she quit her job and began attending esthetician school. After completing her courses, Costlow began performing facials at a large spa in the city, but she says it was difficult for her to feel like she was making a difference in the lives of her clients there. “What I wanted to do is make a difference in the person’s life rather than just one time,” she said. It wasn’t long until Costlow opened Idunna’s Harvest, named for the Norse goddess of youth, in San Antonio. Appropriately, the name can also mean “ever young,” “rejuvenator” or “rejuvenating one.” As Costlow puts it, Idunna’s Harvest is currently “sleeping.” She could not transfer the LLC from Texas to Maryland, thus the name change. Stepping it upOne day, a client came to Idunna’s Harvest for a facial appointment and told Costlow she was having a terrible week and desperately needed help feeling better. “I thought, ‘I really have to step up my game here,’” Costlow recalled. She performed the facial with the intent of relieving the client’s pain, and was astounded at the results; after Costlow was finished, the client got up in a euphoric daze. “She looks at me and asks ‘What did you do to me?’” Costlow said. “And that’s when I discovered there’s so much more than doing a facial.” Now, what sets Costlow apart from many other spas is that as a certified reiki master, she performs holistic, reiki-infused facials. Reiki, also known as energy healing, is a Japanese technique where it is said that the practitioner can transfer energy to the patient to encourage physical or emotional healing. “Everything is energy,” Costlow said. “When we start to understand that, we can master that energy.” What to expectUpon arriving to the cozy third floor space, clients can expect to be greeted warmly and given a cup of hot tea while Costlow reviews the client’s expectations for the service and answers any questions. She books an hour for each service and always allows half an hour in between clients so no one feels rushed. She also welcomes potential clients to call her for a free consultation and to discuss what services would be best for the individual. All of the products used at Emmy’s Harvest are natural and holistic, and treat a variety of conditions like acne, aging, hyperpigmentation and dry skin. Clients who want to take it a step further can try an enzyme peel or an acid peel. She also offers holistic life coaching and other packages where she devotes half a day or an entire day to an individual's healing. During this time, she can do a Wheel of Life assessment or an Akashic records reading with spa services included. At the end of the session, she sends the client home with a kit of supplements to help them take care of themselves at home. The best part of her job is seeing the impact she’s had on the health and well-being of her clients, she says. “My investment is in you, and that’s what makes me feel good about what I do,” Costlow said.

Products & ServicesCostlow takes pride in using only all-natural and holistic products at Emmy's Harvest.

The intensive and luxurious Fire and Ice facial is the spa's most popular; this Eminence Organic Skin Care treatment is designed to rapidly and safely resurface the skin by reducing fine lines and wrinkles, all while smoothing, softening, and encouraging cellular renewal. Mind, body, and spirit are important to Costlow as she performs any spa service. That's why she infuses her services with reiki, a Japanese healing and stress-relieving technique said to channel healing energy by means of touch. Often, clients leave in awe of the relaxation they feel after their session, she said. "Clients are looking for a place where they can come and be taken care of," Costlow added. Products used at Emmy's Harvest include Eminence Organic Skin Care, M'Lis nutritional supplements and body wraps and doTERRA essential oils. While Costlow also accepts male customers, Costlow acknowledges that female clients are her main focus. "I want to let women know they have a safe place to come," she said. For men looking for a rejuvenating spa treatment, Emmy's Harvest offers a Gentleman's Facial with a relaxing scalp treatment. "Men love that," Costlow said. The multi-talented Costlow is a certified Reiki master/practitioner, certified life coach, certified Akashic records reader, and certified Soul Realignment Practitioner.
