THE POWER OF BAYLOR SCOTT & WHITE HEALTH
A Wellness Center is always more impactful when partnering with the best. At the J, we have the privilege of having The Lieberman Family Wellness Center powered by Baylor Scott & White Health. We are collaborating to offer a variety of programs and services to our Staff, their Patients, our Members and the community at large to help evolve lifestyle, attitude and energy.
Everyone can Benefit from A Coach
Baylor Scott & White Health have committed to providing the J with a Community Health Coordinator. The Community Health Coordinator will be housed onsite at the J. This person will become one of our onsite experts/wellness coaches while partnering with the J on community health initiatives, our J Employee Wellness Program and many more programs to come.
Physical Therapy Will Arrive Soon
The J is in discussions to explore the opportunity of leasing space to Baylor Scott & White Health for an outpatient physical therapy program. The proposed lease space, through Select Medical, is for two offices located on our fitness floor adjacent to our Fitness Director’s office to enhance communication and joined efforts. Three to four parking spaces will also be allocated for physical therapy patients as well as full access to our J amenities (warm water pool, mind body studio etc). Ideally, we hope to convert patients into long-term J members who can benefit from all we have to offer them at the J for a lifetime!
Power It Up
We want to add some extra color to our already vibrant Fitness programs. In addition to the Community Health Coordinator and Physical Therapy, specific Baylor Scott & White Health fitness programs have been selected to premiere here at the J. SHED weight loss program and an exclusive prenatal program are just two of many that will be led by Baylor Scott & White Health personnel and are scheduled to launch later in 2017.

POSITIVE INNOVATION: J FITNESS IS TENERGY
As we gear up for 2017, the J is committed to bringing exceptional programming through state-of-the-art facilities to a new level. Get ready to experience Tenergy.™ Tenergy™ is the J’s new fitness movement. Experience the next revolution of fitness through team strength, stamina and accomplishment. Let’s explore how we are going to step it up in 2017.
We’ve Got the Goods
In order for us to grow, new equipment is needed. With our new purchase of the Queenax (by Precor) this large piece multi-station structure provides various exercise movements for “functional training” and more. Placed in the branded Tenergy™ Room, this room and ™ equipment will be used for specialty classes that will add a whole new flavor and dimension to our current fitness programming. In addition to offering the trendiest classes, this room will also be ™ open to our personal trainers to help TENERGY ™ IS A PRODUCT OF THE LIEBERMAN FAMILY WELLNESS CENTER. their clients meet their goals. Each year, there is great wear and tear on all of our equipment. Equipment replacement will take place in the new year as well. Aging equipment will be replaced with a new line of a selectorized strength training circuit, treadmills, seated ellipticals and stationary bikes.

Fitness Tests are Out, Orientations are In
New Year brings in new members and we LOVE that! Our goal is to deliver a formal new member onboarding process promoting our fitness orientations (conducted by our fitness staff with oversight from our Fitness Director) to help with member engagement, retention and referrals. An upgraded marketing message will be sent, once registered, educating our new members on this great member benefit and other amenities available at the J.
The Power of Design & Layout
A fitness center update wouldn’t be complete without a new floor design and layout. The Lieberman Family Wellness centers its philosophy around mindset, movement, nutrition and recovery. If we are planning to create programs based on these principles our fitness center needs to represent these values as well. Our new 2017 floor design and layout will allow for more open space (providing a larger functional training area to enhance member use, personal training and physical therapy). We are creating an additional space for functional training that will be located in the space leading to the tennis area. Overall, the idea is to maximize the flow of our space while altering the mindset of our users that result in more efficient and powerful workout experiences.
Exponential Innovation
D Magazine, has stated, on many occasions, that our “Fitness Classes are the BEST in Dallas.” Whether you like dog yoga, paddle board yoga, aerial hammocks, gamification cycling, or kickboxing, the J is the place to find the most current, trending fitness classes in DFW! In 2017, Terri Arends, our extraordinary Group Fitness Director, is preparing to put the J on the map in a bigger and bolder way. Not only will we be offering innovative programming through our member FREE Group Fitness programs but also through our NEW Tenergy™ space. To add an extra level of diversification to our list of classes, we will be offering fitness programs that provide knowledge to our members on how to safely & effectively train for specific activities (i.e. fun runs, hikes, skiing, triathlons) including proper nourishment prep and recovery. Family wellness is very important to us at the J. During this next year we want to focus on developing an educational program for members’ children (12-15 years old), teaching them strength training principles, techniques, proper equipment use and appropriate weight-room etiquette. Upon completion, this will allow them to exercise in the fitness area without parental supervision. This fee-based program will open the doors of fitness to this new age group helping promote family fitness and fun for all.

NURTURING OUR STAFF
THROUGH WELLNESS This is one of the most exciting continuing movements in 2017! Here at the J, we have always devoted time and energy towards staff wellness. Over the past three years, we have given out Polar Trackers to employees, created multiple group fitness class opportunities that fit various schedules, and have tried to motivate our staff to take care of themselves. Wellness is key to keeping employees happy and healthy. Baylor Scott & White Health are about to power the J with a whole new level of accountable Wellness. They will do this by giving us a Wellness Website just for J Staff! An online wellness assessment will be available first. This assessment will give real-time feedback and tips on how to decrease stress, work out stronger and modify our behaviors for a healthier outcome. The J will offer several lunch and learns so that employees can be educated on this new program and become motivated by their peers. The website will offer 3 different challenges throughout 2017 to help employees practice healthy behaviors, focus on physical activity, nutrition and stress management. The Community Health Coordinator will be working with our Fitness Director and other fitness staff to provide a safe and fun environment for staff to get workout, nutrition plans and pretty much anything needed to invest in their WELLTH! After piloting this Wellnness initative with our staff, we will roll it out to members so they can also enjoy the benefits of Wellness guidance.
