THE WEEKLY UPDATE OF SEPTEMBER 1

Hi friends, 

We have a few updates and reminders for you this week! 

Group Fitness Update 

As many of you have noticed, we've temporarily canceled our Tuesday/Thursday 10:45 a.m. class while we evaluate what may be the best fit for that time slot. 

Our goal is to offer classes that align with what our members truly want and are able to attend, and we'd love your feedback. If you could create your ideal class, what would it be? Would you prefer strength training, mobility, stretching, balance, circuit training, or something completely different? 

We're also interested in hearing if the current time simply doesn't work for you. Is there another day or time that would make it easier for you to attend? 

Please stop by the Fitness Center, send us an email, or chat with one of our team members. Your feedback plays a huge role in helping us build a schedule that best serves our membership. 

SoftWave Therapy Reminder 

If you've been dealing with nagging aches and pains, recovering from an injury, or simply looking for a way to move and feel better, don't forget that SoftWave Therapy is available here at the Fitness Center. 

SoftWave uses electrohydraulic acoustic wave technology to stimulate your body's natural healing response. Treatments can help reduce pain, improve circulation, decrease inflammation, and encourage tissue healing, making it an excellent option for many chronic and acute conditions. 

If you're curious whether SoftWave could help you, we'd love to have a conversation. Reach out to the Fitness Center and we'll help determine if it's the right fit for your needs. We're also getting very close to having our online booking platform available, making it even easier to schedule your own appointments. 

Thank You! 

A big thank you to everyone for your patience while the Fitness Center building has been getting a fresh coat of paint. 

We know construction projects can create a few temporary inconveniences, and we truly appreciate your understanding throughout the process. The refreshed exterior is just one more step in our continued effort to improve the Fitness Center and create an environment our members can be proud of. 

Thank you for bearing with us! 

Fitness Move of the Week: The Step-Up 

The step-up is one of the most practical exercises you can do because it directly mimics something we all do every day, climbing stairs. 

This simple movement strengthens your glutes, quadriceps, and hamstrings while also improving balance, coordination, and single-leg stability. It can even help reduce the risk of falls by building confidence and control on one leg. 

Whether you're carrying groceries, hiking, golfing, or simply navigating everyday life, stronger legs and better balance make everything easier. 

This week's challenge is to perform 3 sets of 8–10 step-ups per leg on a sturdy box or step. Focus on driving through the entire foot of the working leg and standing tall at the top without pushing off too much from the trailing leg. 

As always, quality movement comes first. Start with body weight and add resistance only when you're comfortable with your balance and technique. 

Have a wonderful week, and we'll see you in the Fitness Center!

With Love,

Jarratt and the Fitness Team
