Hot Yoga

Hot Yoga is hitting The Gym the last Thursday of each month. Be there by 5:45, do not eat 2 hrs prior to class, bring a towel and plenty of water. The room will be heated during this class so take that into consideration as you dress for Yoga. For more info, CLICK HERE.

Member Spotlight: Beverly Ellis

The Gym would like to introduce to you, Beverly Ellis. Beverly was the Grand Prize Winner of the 2011 Fitness Challenge. She recently won a full year FREE membership for all of her hard work she put forth during the challenge. She was nominated to be featured as a Member Spotlight!

Beverly has been a gym member since 2006. She taught at Oneonta City Schools for over 30 years and is enjoying her semi-retired life. Though she is no longer teaching a full class at school, she continues as the testing coordinator and is current Chair Director at Lester Memorial United Methodist Church.

She has a lovely daughter and two grandchildren. Beverly loves to read and travel. She has currently visited 38 state capitols and hopes to visit more along with other historical sites.

Beverly says the physical benefits of going to The Gym are obvious but she really enjoys the friendships she's made and knows that consistent exercise keeps her going. Her favorite classes include Pilates, Yoga, Basic Step and the Water Aerobics.

Congratulations Beverly Ellis for being a Member Spotlight

Fitness Challenge News (1/9/11)

If you attended the Kick-off Party and received your pedometer, you have probably realized that they are not working very well.  We have NEW & IMPROVED pedometers in now for you to pick up.  Please bring your old one back and swap it for your new one ASAP!

This week's “special activity”  ---  Try a Zumba class, and/or Pilates/Yoga class.  Let me know what you think about them.  If you have never tried one it might open you up to a completely different kind of work-out.  Zumba is a low impact Latin dance type class.   You get 1 point for Zumba and 1 point for a Yoga or Pilates class.  So there is a chance for 2 extra points this week.  

Please visit our blog for the updated aerobic schedule.

Kids----If you like swimming this is your week.  We will have a lifeguard on duty this Wednesday at 5:00 pm.- 6:00 pm.  The lifeguard will do some organized drills with each of you and then give you time for free swim as well.  Parents are welcome to do their own work-outs during this time.

Good Luck this week!  Don’t forget to trade in your pedometers.   Stay updated on our blog!
