The Passport to Fitness

You may have noticed the fitness passports that are sitting on our front desks. These passoports have nine squares with a different activity in each section. Participants may complete one square each day (a wellness specialist will sign off) and have until August to complete as many passports as possible. Each completed passport is entered for a chance to win a pretty great prize.
It's not necessarily easy, there are probably some squares that you haven't tried before. Challenging ourselves in new and different ways can be intimidating. But our bodies need to have that variety to get the best workouts possible. We get comfortable with those activities that come easily and are familiar to us. Unfortunately, so do our muscles and we just don't get as much benefit out of the experience when we do the same thing the same way, day in and day out. The good news is that we don't require everyone walking through our doors to be an expert at all things they attempt. We expect that people who have never tried a certain class or piece of equipment won't be perfect. That's why we're here, to help you out. We want new people walking in our doors and on our equipment. We love to see familiar faces trying something different. That is part of the motivation behind our "Passport to Fitness" program. Hopefully it will help encourage you to try some fun things. So grab your passports and come try something new. You may find your favorite thing you never knew you loved.

  2. I agree with Tammy ... I would have never tried Zumba, but am glad I did!
