To Your Health Membership Matters
January 2023 Fitness Challenge
It's that time of year when everyone talks about being healthier and losing weight. But if you're like most people, the good intentions never seem to translate into success and each January, you're back wondering, "what if?" Well, this is where GPYC Fitness will be there to hold you accountable!

During the month of January, the top ten users of the Fitness Center will be entered into a drawing to win a 30-minute personal training session and a GPYC Yeti water bottle. Each time you enter the Fitness Center, be sure to punch in 0 plus your four-digit member number. If you have a two or three-digit member number, you will press 0 or 00, then your number. (It must equate to five numbers to enter). Please note that you can only enter your number once daily.
The GPYC Fitness Center is a world-class boutique-style gym that offers three treadmills, three Pelotons courtesy of the club, a rower, a recumbent bike, a smith machine/squat rack/bench press, a lat pulldown/cable row machine, leg curl machine, a cable pulley machine, dumbbells up to 50 pounds, kettlebells up to 50 pounds, medicine balls, physio balls, mats, foam rollers, battle ropes, and resistance bands. We also offer a cooler that is stocked with water and protein shakes.
On a personal note, January is my favorite month of the year to help you kick-start your workout routine. If you are unable to make it to the gym, I will happily write you at-home workouts that you can do at your convenience for only $25 a week. I look forward to helping you put in the work that adds years to your life and life to your years.
Best in health, Peter Wendzinski Athletic Director
Membership Matters Happy New Year
Legacy Incentive a Success!
One of my favorite parts of my job is the task to come up with new and exciting incentives to help recruit new members to our great Club. In December we kicked off by waiving the initiation fee for any Legacy membership - a $750 savings. We were excited to not only extend it to our members children, but to grandchildren, nieces and nephews too! Members jumped on board and wanted to share their Legacy for many years and memories to come. As we start the new year we can't wait to welcome all the new Legacy members and make the GPYC their favorite place to share with friends.
