Wellness Day for Haiti

Our hosting of the event for NWH enabled them to raise over $2100.00 for Doctors Without Borders!

It could not have been accomplished without a great response by our members and guests who took the Zumba and Spinning classes!

Dina Khader’s “Simple, safe and highly effective tips for weight loss” seminar

61 members and guests attended Dina’ nutrition seminar and were very glad they attended!  We have posted a link to a video of the presentation on our website in case you missed it, want to forward it to a friend, or want to experience it again!

A message brought to you by IHRSA,  International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association…

Greetings!

The Baltimore Sun posted an article today describing exercise as an affordable, accessible, and effective preventive tool in combating chronic disease.

“In the 19th century, most work involved physical activity; in the 20th century, exercise became a leisure pursuit; today, it’s an urgent medical necessity.

Exercise: It’s cheap, readily available, and the single most effective step nonsmokers can take to avoid chronic and potentially fatal diseases. If it were being hawked on late-night television, you’d think the phone lines would be tied up for hours.

But regular physical activity remains a hard sell. Despite mounting evidence that it lowers the risk for obesity, heart disease, diabetes, depression, and many forms of cancer, the average citizen is increasingly sedentary. Still, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) isn’t giving up on us.”

In October, the HHS issued the first-ever national Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans. They describe the types and amounts of physical activity that offer substantial health benefits to Americans. IHRSA is a committed supporter of the Guidelines. Members have access to an extensive download library of resources to assist them in using the Guidelines in their facilities and local community to promote safe and effective physical activity.

Regards,

Joe Moore
President & CEO

Dear Members and Prospective members,

We have been listening to some members’ apprehensions about participating and utilizing our Group Exercise classes. We also have heard your requests about how to get started using our classes to help reach your fitness goals. It has always been our intention that all of our members can take any of our classes, which are all free of charge to members, that they can be at any fitness level and feel welcome in any of the classes. When a prospective member comes to our club we suggest that they go to any of the classes about 10 minutes before the class starts and let the instructor know they are new to the club and are interested in that class. The instructors are more than happy to take the time to introduce you to any equipment used in the class, or necessary information about taking that class.

Yet, we still have some people who have retained their shyness about taking a class. So with that in mind, Val Rosen, our Group Exercise Director has added four new beginner level classes which we are calling “Fitness 101”. We have two Spinning classes- one on Mondays at 1:00 and another on Saturdays at 9:15, a Yoga Class on Tuesdays at 12:00 noon, and a basic Weight Training class at noon on Thursdays. The staff is excited about being able to provide these classes and looking forward to helping more members reach their fitness and wellness goals.

You can view the entire Fitness 101 schedule by clicking  HERE

We are sincerely glad to be able to bring you more of what you are asking for…

Yours in good health,

Tom and the entire MAC Staff
