HAPPENINGS IN FITNESS

Throughout November we held our annual Thanksgiving Food Drive to benefit the Mid-Ohio Foodbank. For the past two years we have set a goal to collect more food than Craig Meyers’s best squat, which is 804.5 lbs. In each of those past two years we have exceeded that goal; however, this year we went well beyond our goal and set a record of 1,053 lbs. collected! We take great pride in our ability to provide food for our communities and for those in need, and we would like to thank all the members and employees who donated food and money to this year’s drive. We would not have been able to collect 1,053 lbs. without you! Our Junior Golf Fitness program has started off strong, with each session filled to maximum capacity. Both David Gattshall and Chris Yoder have done a phenomenal job in preparing for and putting together the Junior Golf Fitness program, and their work is being shown through the progress that the Juniors have already made through the first four weeks of their program. The infamous Black Friday Beatdown challenge featured much participation, with several members working off their Thanksgiving stuffing and competing for the best score! For December, we will be hosting our annual Giving Tree, which will be benefiting Camp Christmas in Marysville. Camp Christmas is an event where the Marysville community comes together for a fun night of food and music, in addition to giving parents the opportunity to “shop” for presents to gift their kids for Christmas. Our goal is to provide these gifts for the “shop” so that families in need can pick their own presents free of charge and have gifts for their kids to open on Christmas day. We will also be introducing a new Group Exercise class to the schedule: “Strong Core & Pelvic Floor with Kirsten,” on Mondays and Wednesdays at 10:00am! This class is specially designed for women to help rebuild and strengthen the core and the muscles of the pelvic floor and is great for women following pregnancy and for those experiencing long-term issues due to injury or age. We will also continue to feature new healthy snack and smoothie items in the Fitness lobby, with several snacks being freshly baked and provided by Posty’s Pastries. Happy Holidays and we look forward to serving you at the Fitness Center!
