Letter From the Lifestyle Team
JAMES INGRAM & TONIANNE GIANAKOUROS YOUR LIFESTYLE MANAGERS
Fall is on the Way!
As we step into a new season, we’re putting a special focus on wellness—mind, body, and spirit. From energizing workouts to relaxing evenings, our goal is to support your healthiest, happiest lifestyle. Don’t forget to take advantage of our fitness memberships, as well as our personalized training and diet planning services designed to help you meet your wellness goals.
This October, join us in supporting a great cause at our Pickled Pink Pickleball Tournament for Breast Cancer Awareness. It’s a fun and meaningful way to stay active and give back. Wellness also means taking time to relax and connect. That’s why we’re continuing to host our Date Night Series along with other adult events that nourish the mind and soul—perfect for unwinding after a busy week.
We’re also excited to announce new Café hours! Stop by Tuesday through Saturday, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., to enjoy your favorite treats and healthy bites.
And, for our younger Members—school may be back in session, but the fun is just getting started! Look out for exciting movie nights and the launch of new kids’ programs, like our Biweekly Lego Club and more!
We’re here to help you thrive in every way.
Jessica States
YOUR WELLNESS MANAGER
Please welcome our new Wellness Manager Jessica States! Jessica holds a degree in Kinesiology and is a Certified Personal Trainer, Yoga Instructor and group fitness professional who loves to nerd out talking about anatomy! She has been teaching, coaching, training and leading exercise and wellness for over 20 years now and has taught in K-12 schools, doctor’s offices, senior living communities and online. Before becoming a fitness professional, Jessica was a Physical Education teacher and department lead who was crazy enough to love teaching middle school students!
Jessica, originally from Colorado, and her family have been in Sarasota for four years. Jessica and her husband have two grown children, another in college and another starting middle school at Skye Ranch School. She is a cat mom to OJ, an orange tabby cat who loves to bring her frogs. When not at The Hub, you can find Jessica on the shell trail, at the tennis courts or exploring the beaches of our beautiful state. Jessica values wellness from a holistic viewpoint and believes anyone can improve their lifestyle in at least one area of wellness. She is so happy to be a part of this growing wellness community!
Furry Friends Meet Pebbles
LOVED BY TONIANNE GIANAKOUROS
Pebbles is a 3½-year-old American Shorthair cat who found her forever home with the Gianakouros family after being rescued from Satchel’s Last Resort animal shelter. It was love at first sight—her quiet charm and curious eyes instantly won them over. Though shy at first, Pebbles slowly blossomed, revealing her sweet and quirky personality as she settled in. She’s now queen of the lanai, where she spends her days chasing lizards and occasionally gifting her humans with her “finds”—some more welcome than others! Pebbles loves nothing more than basking in the warm sun, falling asleep cuddled up with her family, and crunching on her favorite treat: freeze-dried chicken.
