What’s new at Midtown in 2012? Club Manager Kat Gerdts talks about what we have planned for you and how you can make next year your best yet.
January is always a good time to review and reaffirm goals.
At Midtown, our goal is a renewed focus on your experiences. Whether you’re here for fitness, socializing, nutrition, tennis, skiing, networking, spa indulgences, or any combination of these, our goal is to ensure you’re able to enjoy your time at the club while meeting your own goals for the new year.
So what’s new in 2012?
Group Core – An intense core crunching group exercise class. Watch for the BTS launch later in January.
Power Plate machines - They provide a full-body workout in less than 30 minutes using vibration technology and all 5 elements of fitness: stretching, balance, core conditioning, strength training, and massage.
Yamuna Body Rolling - Returns to our Pilates studio on January 7th. This class fills up quick, so make your reservations early!
Healthy Eating Class -On January 11th, join our friend in food, George Economos, from Whole Foods Market to help combat some of those less-than-nutritious holiday choices. Combine his tips with our Lose 5 Pounds in 5 Weeks program also beginning in January and no one will ever know about those pesky holiday pounds. We won’t tell.
The Pro Shop- From the latest shoes to support your feet (sore from all the holiday running), to foam rollers and Yamuna balls to bring a little Midtown home with you, we’ve got all your fitness needs covered. Or, test the latest tennis racquet to see if it will help your game. And while you are there, ask about Midtown’s new Lowest Price Guarantee!
Super Team Tennis - Kicks off on January 13th. The kids can get involved in Junior Super Team Tennis at the end of the month.
Powernet – Midtown’s Private Networking Club returns on January 25th. This is a great way to build your business connections.
M Cafe – Join us on Friday, January 27th, as we sample our new seasonal wines and delicious hors d’oeuvres.
Ski Clinic - Work on your cross country skiing technique at our clinic on January 28th, just in case it ever snows.
January’s Spa Specials -If all this activity takes a toll on you, indulge in a spa treatment. In January, we’re featuring our GM Collin Hydrolifting + facial or Fire & Ice Massage, which combines hot stone and therapeutic techniques for the ultimate stress reduction.
Treat your cold, dry skin to a professional analysis, then experience a Renewal Peel and our new take-home Mask. Instant moisture – what a relief! Secure your seat at the front desk for this limited, exclusive demonstration seminar.
January is another busy month, and we’re looking forward to helping you enjoy it as much as we plan to.
Happy New Year!
In the late 1980s, yoga instructor Yamuna Zake was left with an injury suffered during childbirth. Using her intensive yoga
knowledge, Zake developed a way to rehabilitate herself from her injuries, which later became known as Yamuna Body Rolling.
Specially designed 6-to-10 inch balls are used in Yamuna Body Rolling. These dense balls are firm enough to allow one to work muscles very specifically and create greater joint range of motion. Using a specific order, the ball rolls over the muscle to stretch, remove tension and discomfort, increase blood flow, and promote healing.
According to Ms Fitness Magaine, “The beauty of Yamuna Body Rolling is that it takes you from the origin of the muscle at the tendon, elongating the muscle while stimulating the bone and soft tissue. Working with the body’s own gravity, the exercises ease movement in the muscles to the point of relaxation, offering one of the finest weight-bearing exercises, with the benefits of a deep self-massage.”
You will feel the improvements in your body immediately. Benefits include:
Our club is the only one in the area that offers Yamuna Body Rolling. We’re currently forming Yamuna Body Rolling groups of 3-6 people. Pricing is the same as group training in the Pilates studio: $32/hr. One-on-one instructor pricing is the same at M2 trainer pricing.
Midtown is hosting a Yamuna Body Rolling special event on Oct 29th from 12-1:30pm. $20 for members, $25 for non-members. Sign up is available at the Front Desk, however space is limited to 25 participants.
Currently Joy, Margaret, and Cindy are certified. This is a difficult certification to pass, as the course requires over 75+ hours of training.
