Personalize your fitness program

GVR offers five levels of training to help members get the most out of their fitness center experience.

1. Attend a free fitness center orientation at the center you plan to use for your exercise workout. The orientation includes an assessment of your fitness level, a tour of the cardio and strength training equipment, and a group orientation to the adjustments and use of the equipment. Schedules and registration information for orientations are posted in each fitness center.

2. Attend a free movement assessment in order to identify potential muscle imbalances surrounding a joint. These alterations can lead to increased stress on the tissue of the joint and lead to eventual injury. The goal is to identify any potential overactive and underactive muscles, and create a corrective plan through a corrective exercise regimen.

3. Attend a complimentary 30-minute personal training consultation with a GVR Personal Trainer.

4. Sign up for ongoing personal training. GVR contracts with a number of certified personal trainers to assist members in pursuing their fitness goals. A variety of personal training packages are available.

5. Try Buddy Training (two person maximum). Buddy training adds the benefit of keeping each other accountable while increasing motivation and support.

In the coming year, members can look forward to enjoying entertainment and activities at the Del Sol Clubhouse, a new fitness center, a new Glass Arts Studio, and a more effective approach to space use and room reservations. This summer, a new website will offer easier access to information and activity schedules, searchable document libraries, and online form submission that will make life a great deal easier. Overall, I feel we’re on track and making positive changes. Join me at a monthly Chat with the CEO to hear more details and let me know what you think.
