newsbits&clips Youth Strength & Conditioning Program Now Offered at the Wellness Center Moms, take notice — the Paul H. Broyhill Wellness Center is now offering a Youth Strength & Conditioning Program for students in grades seven through 12. The program focuses on improving fitness, reaching athletic potential and instruction on proper weight training technique and is offered at 4 p.m. every Monday, Wednesday and Friday through August 23. The program offers participants a variety of options, including individual personal training and group sessions. “I teach my students cooperation, respect, leadership and the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle,” says Martin Hubner, fitness coach. “When a young person is able to reach a goal that he or she never thought they would, it is very rewarding not only for the student, but also to me as their coach.” The program can assist student athletes or any student who wants to increase muscular strength and confidence. Elijah Presnell, 14, an eighth-grade student at Hardin Park says, “The Youth Strength and Conditioning Program at the Wellness
Center changed my life.” Presnell, who plays on his school football and baseball team adds, “Martin is the best mentor you could have; he is funny, thoughtful, and a great encourager who pushes us to do our best. Since I have started working with Martin I have become stronger, faster and my self-esteem has improved.” Jodi Cash, director of the Wellness Center says, “Martin is very knowledgeable and is a great motivator for these kids when it comes to promoting strength and confidence. It’s exciting to hear about the progress they make working with him.” New members are welcome. For more information, contact Martin Hubner at (828) 266-1060 or email him at mhubner@apprhs.org.
