Dear BridgeMill Athletic Club Members,

Here we are a few months into the new year and we hope you are finding new and fun ways to meet your health and fitness goals with our BFit classes and open gym hours. We have appreciated all of the member feedback and participation in our new programs and our 24hour member gym accessibility.

Unfortunately, we have identified an increasing issue happening during some of these open hours. We have recorded numerous instances of members with 24-hour access fobs opening the doors to individuals without access fobs. This is a violation of our 24-hour access policy that our members agreed to upon acceptance of the access fob. Allowing unauthorized people to access to our private facilities puts safety and security at great risk.

To address the increase in these incidents, we have implemented a new camera system that monitors all access points in real time. Members found assisting others in unauthorized entry, and thereby violating the policy, will be subject to penalties that could include membership suspension for repeated violations.

It is our intent that the enforcement of these rules will contribute to maintaining a safe and purposeful atmosphere within the fitness center. Your cooperation and commitment to these guidelines will play a crucial role in upholding the integrity of our gym community. Together, we can create a space where everyone feels secure and can fully enjoy the benefits of a dedicated fitness environment.

Please review the attached updated 24-hour access policy. And, should you have any concerns about safety, security or behavior at the fitness center, please do not hesitate to contact the Fitness Center Director at 770-324-3175.

Thank you for your attention and support in this matter.

Best Regards,

Andrea Mathis andrea.mathis@hmsgolf.com

KIDS ACTIVITIES + PROGRAMS

YOUTH FITNESS SPOTLIGHT

Charlie and Henry Burns are in the “KidFit Spotlight” this month for their participation, enthusiasm, and positive attitudes during the classes they attend.

Charlie’s favorite exercise is kickbacks (aka burpees). He enjoys coming to classes because they make him stronger, and he likes the participation prizes he receives for his hard work. Charlie also loves to show off his awesome hula hoop skills and playing the tag game “Blob”.

Henry’s favorite exercises are planks and pushups. Sometimes during class, Henry can be found on the mat holding a plank with a big smile. He enjoys coming to classes because they are so much fun, and he loves playing “fire and ice”.

It’s such a pleasure having both boys in class. Their excitement and eagerness to participate in every activity is outstanding! They always put their best effort forth and are actively engaged and respectful. Keep up the wonderful work, Charlie and Henry.

The Benefits of a Digital Detox

In today's tech-driven world, constant connectivity can take a toll on our mental and physical health.

A digital detox—taking intentional breaks from screens—can significantly reduce stress and anxiety. By stepping away from our devices, we allow our minds to rest and reset, fostering a calmer and more focused state of mind.

Improved sleep quality is another benefit of a digital detox. Exposure to blue light from screens can disrupt natural sleep cycles, making it harder to fall asleep. Disconnecting from devices, especially before bedtime, helps regulate sleep patterns and enhances overall sleep quality, leading to better mood and cognitive function.

A digital detox also enhances focus and productivity. Multitasking between apps and tasks can fragment our attention, but by reducing digital interruptions, we can concentrate better and increase efficiency. Additionally, spending less time on screens provides more opportunities for face-to-face interactions, strengthening real-world connections and improving social well-being.

Lastly, taking breaks from screens encourages mindfulness and physical activity. Being present in the moment reduces negative thought patterns and increases happiness. It also promotes healthier behaviors, such as exercising and engaging in outdoor hobbies, which benefit both mental and physical health.

Regular digital detoxes can reclaim our time and enhance overall well-being.

One of the top comics to come out of Washington D.C., Mark has been described in the press as "funny without being vulgar or nasty" and "going the smarter, hipper direction to the joke."

His warm stage presence and stand-up talents have landed him appearances on several network, syndicated, and cable television programs including "Night Shift", CNBC's America's Talking Network, and the nationally syndicated "Bob and Tom" radio show.

Recently he was the opening act for a David Copperfield television special

A first-generation American, Mark's material ranges from his immigrant family to the aggravations of modern life; from current events to the fragility of the male ego. There is even a little music tossed in for good measure! Mark Matusof will entertain to end inaugural games at 7pm.
