SPOTLIGHTS

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT Dede & Bill Reoch

My husband Bill and I moved to BridgeMill almost 7 years ago. One of the main attractions for us was the Athletic Club. Never having really committed myself to a fitness program, I began visiting classes. All of the instructors and members were so friendly and encouraging even though I felt like a complete klutz! There was so much that I had never been exposed to and the journey has been so satisfying. Over the years as my ability grew, I became more confident and willing to try other things. The instructors have created a program that, if you participate regularly, covers all the basic components of fitness. I can definitely see improvement in balance, strength, stamina and in the overall appearance of my body. My goal was to be able to enjoy playing with our grandchildren, travel and stay active – and, so far, so good!! My husband Bill is an active golf member and plays a couple times a week. We love that we can both participate in our passions at the BridgeMill Athletic Club.

KID FIT MEMBER SPOTLIGHT Mackenzie Bateman

Mackenzie has been a part of the elementary Kidfit program for over a year. She comes to class with a smile on and ready to have fun while getting “kidfit.” Both her enthusiasm for fitness and her strength (especially with pushups) have grown over the past few months. Her favorite exercise is “kickbacks” (aka burpees). She also loves mountain climbers and is a super fast runner. Mackenzie is a wonderful helper and friend in class, and she likes to demonstrate exercises to her classmates. Keep shining and enjoying your passion for being healthy and strong, Mackenzie!

During class, you’ll move to dances like the Jive, Salsa, Foxtrot, Paso Doble, Viennese Waltz and more, incorporating music from all artists, genres and eras. Based on interchangeable patterns and variations rather than choreography, learning is easier and more enjoyable. This “workout in disguise” engages the whole body – physically, mentally and emotionally – and gets people moving regardless of their fitness level, age, ability or dance experience.

Participants in LaBlast® Chair start it simple, build a solid foundation and advance over time, repeating patterns as needed before moving on. The LaBlast® motto is “if you can clap it, you can dance it™.” Even seated, you’ll engage the entire body while feeling safer and more comfortable.

Join us to learn the skill of dance while experiencing the physical aspects of exercise, all while seated.

JR TENNIS NEWS

EXCEL JUNIOR TENNIS ACADEMY The junior program at BridgeMill is designed to meet the needs of all our junior players starting at age 5 and up and recreational to advanced tournament players. The goal of our program is to instill a love for the game of tennis in our youth. We encourage and foster a healthy, active lifestyle that players carry with them throughout their lives. Our program is divided into categories based on ability and age. All programs focus on proper stroke development, footwork, fitness, strategy and mental toughness at an age and level appropriate manner.

EXCEL FUTURE STARS – DEVELOPMENT GROUPS

5-6 years – This group is for our youngest juniors with little or no tennis experience. Our goal in the program is to help children learn and enjoy the game of tennis while improving their overall athletic skills. We focus on basic motor skills like throwing, catching, running, and jumping but also learn fundamental racket skills.

7-10 years - These classes are for juniors with little or no tennis experience. We focus on developing athletic skills, fundamental strokes and learning how to play points and keep score.

Check with the Tennis Pro Shop for class schedule, fees, and available space.

EXCEL ACADEMY

The Academy group is for players with some tennis experience to advanced players, ages 8 & up, who are committed to improving their game. We also include 11–16-yearold beginner players in this group. This high energy group of players is striving to play tournaments, high school tennis or working to get a college scholarship. The Head Coach of the academy is Jennifer Pourchier who is also the Head Coach for the Reinhardt University tennis teams. One unique benefit of this is that Academy players often get to hit and train with the college players! Players are divided by ability level and age. Drills focus on proper stroke technique, footwork, fitness, strategy, and mental toughness. The group meets Monday and/or Wednesday from 5:00-7:00 pm. This program runs throughout the school year. New players can be added anytime if space is available.
