Congratulations to Chip Krautkremer and Kristine Solheid, 2010's Biggest Losers. Both Chip and Kristine took off over 22% of their body weight in just 12 weeks - way to go!

TRX Training: Free Sessions Available
Spark your workout and try something new! Sign up for a free 20-minute training session on the TRX system! Members have had a great response to this suspension training system, not expecting it to be such a great metabolic workout.
After your free session, you can purchase an additional 30-minute TRX training session at a reduced price of only $20!
Fitness Center to Offer "Healthy Pathways" Cardiac Rehabilitation Maintenance Program
Coming in 2010, the Fitness Center will begin to offer a Cardiac Rehabilitation Maintenance program called Healthy Pathways. This customized program is designed to help those living with heart disease or recovering from a heart attack or surgery to treat heart disease.
Healthy Pathways is offered to former Phase I and Phase II cardiac rehab patients to help them continue their fitness, while giving more attention to their cardiac needs. Key elements of the program include exercise prescription (based on their exercises in Phase I or Phase II), daily monitoring of oxygen saturation, heart rate, blood pressure and glucose levels as well as lifestyle education.
This program will not be covered by insurance, but is eligible for the standard fitness reimbursement if that is part of your insurance plan. Please call your provider if you have any questions on coverage.
Keep your eyes open for more information coming soon!
