What can a personal trainer do for you?

Help you design a personalized fitness program, learn proper form & safe ways to exercise, provide accountability & motivation, track progress with fitness assessments (postural, body, fat, strength, & more) & make fitness fun! For the fit: If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been working out for years, maybe all you need is a session or two to evaluate & modify your current program. For the newbie: If you are new to exercise we highly recommend a minimum of 3 sessions. One to go over health history, establish basic goals, & how to properly use the equipment; session two, to review after youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve practiced your program; at the third session we add additional programming for on going progress. For the commited: Ongoing sessions for motivation, education & goal review. We suggest a session at least once a month as a reward for your commitment to your health.

LAP SWIM ETIQUETTE: “Circle Swimming” is necessary when more than two people are in a lane. Lane lines divide lap lanes, Think of the lane as a highway, always stay on the right hand side. Like a highway, lap lanes may become crowded, at these times “circle swimming’ is a necessity. Lap lanes are designated according to a swimmers’ speed; slow, medium & fast. Look at the yellow markers & the end of the pool to find your appropriate lane. LAP SWIM (Lap Pool): We will make every attempt to have 1-2 lap lanes available, at all times, for adult lap swimmers. Up to 4 lanes will be available at designated times, call 503-823-3450 for complete schedule of lap lanes available during operating hours.

Water Fitness Water Workouts: Exercising in the water cushions the impact, reducing stress on the joints while supporting the muscles & promoting more efficient toning. Twelve times more resistant than air, water allows triple strength gains over land aerobics! In addition, heart rates are lower in the water, allowing for optimal fat burning & less fatigue. Check out our shallow or deep-water classes & enjoy the benefits!

Portland Parks & Recreation Sports Classes for Parent/Child Although we register only the child, parent or caregiver participation is essential in these classes. The Parent/Child sequence of classes have been developed with your child’s best interest in mind. Balls, Balls, Bonanza helps introduce your child to the world of physical development in a low-structure, colorful, varied program, utilizing all types of balls, games & sports. This class gathers together to stretch& take roll call. Participants are then encouraged to participate in stations designed to strengthen, develop & encourage positive attitude & outlook on exercise, movement & play. Some children repeat this class several times. Sports Mix - Jump Start is an excellent “next class” for those young children who have taken the Ball! Balls! Bonanza class & are ready to apply those ball handling skills to specific sports. Listening & communication skills contribute to a successful experience. The “Jump Start” Series (Soccer, Baseball & Basketball) offers a more structured focus for the young athlete, with emphasis placed on proper sports fundamentals, conditioning, teamwork & sportsmanship. For further assistance in deciding the best class for your child, please call Gabe at 503-823-0206.

INCLUSION SERVICES FOR PEOPLE WITH SPECIAL NEEDS Within the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) of 1990, Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R) provides accommodations to individuals with disabilities/special needs, so that they may receive an equal opportunity to fully participate in programs offered citywide.

How it Works First choose the activity youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to do & the PP&R site at which youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to do it. Next, register for the class. When registering, let the person know that you will need accommodations in order to participate in the activity. Once registered, contact Inclusion Services at (503) 823-4333. If this is your first accommodation through Inclusion Services, you will need to do a phone intake with a staff member at that number. At the end of the phone intake it will be determined whether an assistant will be needed on the first day of the activity to provide on-site support at the age-appropriate class. Future assistance will be provided based on need. The inclusion staff will work with the instructor on how to support you and your individual needs. A general program may be adapted using auxiliary aids & services, but the basic structure of the program remains the same. Accommodations are made as needed & can be flexible & creative, ensuring the participant engages as independently as possible. If you have questions about Inclusion Services, please call 503-823-4333 or 711 (TRS). A minimum of 10 business days (MondayFriday) advance notice is required. The Inclusion Services staff will do their best to accommodate each participant.
