...changes every few months and Big-Band music at a palatable roar, HealthFit has won over 650 fanatically loyal members in its first year. Its founder, John Atwood, 48, spent 25 years in the industry before realizing that he was sick of helping "the already fit get a little fitter. With seniors, fitness makes a real difference...

Hall got the U.S. ahead at the final turn, but Thorpe kept his head cool and his stroke smooth to bring home the race in a new world-record time of 3:13.67. "The last 50 m were rather painful," said Hall. "This...
