SMALL GROIUP TRAINING
We are excited to announce that we will begin offering Small Group Training with trainers Joseph Hart and Rae Lee during the month of March! Similar to Personal Training, Small Group Training offers a more affordable personalized training option but in a small group setting. When you are working out with your group of 4-6 people on a weekly basis, you feel more encouraged, motivated and accountable. Unlike the regular fitness classes, the Small Group Training class could have you each do a different variation of a similar workout based on your current abilities. The instructor gives you each personal goals and tracks your progress. So gather your friends and pick a schedule that works best for all of you all!
During the month of March, the first session is complimentary! So come try it out! The Schedule is posted online and in the gym.
BEGINNER BASICS YOGA SERIES Saturdays, March 7, 14, 21 & 28 | 12:00pm-1:00pm All Ages Welcome | $60 |
New to yoga? Intimidated? Or perhaps you want to review the basics. Yoga is so much more than contorting into pretzel-like postures, it is a way of being in the body with awareness. We will start from the very beginning, with the breath, exploring basic alignment and lots of stretching. This class will give you the confidence to explore all types of yoga classes in the future.
Paula Hanke—Yoga Instructor
STRENGTH, STRETCH AND SUN SALUTATIONS ADVANCED YOGA SERIES Saturdays, April 4, 11, 18, & 25 10:00am–11:15am | $65

PHYSICAL THERAPY
Spring is rapidly approaching, and that means it is time to start working on that swing golfers! But if you have not been active this Winter, please use caution when jumping back into the game. Studies reveal that the risk of injury among amateur golfers has an incidence between 15.8% to 40.9% on an annual basis! Golf injuries are typically the result of repetitive stresses on joints that have an imbalance in strength, mobility and/or flexibility. As your club Physical Therapist, I highly recommend doing a pre-season screening with me to identify areas that need extra attention. Together, we will create an exercise program specific to your needs that you can perform independently or under my watchful eye, that will make you feel better AND improve your game!
Please reach out to me via email or phone at the contact information below to discuss your needs further. I will be treating patients on site Tuesdays and Thursdays by appointment. Looking forward to working with you soon!
