Frank Cahill Frank Cahill, age 12 ½, has been a member at Greenwood Athletic and Tennis Club since he was four years old and is a charter member of XRKade®. His typical winter workout at GATC goes like this: climbing on the Treadwall, joining the cycling tour on the Expresso bike, snowboarding on the XR board, slamming the Makoto and dancing till he drops on Dance Dance Revolution - all in an hour and a half. He is a 6th grader at Ave Maria Catholic School and enjoys reading, playing the violin, boy scouts and coming to the club with his mom Jill, dad Michael and sister Noelle. Franks favorite part about coming to GATC are the pools and the pool float in the summer and XRKade® in the winter. “XRKade® is a fun, interactive place to hang out with people and work out. The coaches are also fun and motivating”, says Frank. He is motivated to come to XRKade® because it’s dark, fun to be in and he loves Dance Dance Revolution and the Wii. Since XRKade® opened last summer Frank has participated in the Mile High Club. This challenge offers kids an opportunity to earn prizes for working out. After each mile they receive a sticker, after five miles they receive a reward and after 20 miles they receive a prize. It’s a great way to keep moving. In the month of October, Frank completed 80 miles! Frank said, “The Mile High score card makes me work harder and gives me an incentive for working out.” Come meet Frank in XRKade® if you want to “work hard and add fun to your life.” Thank you to Frank and his family for their dedication and passion for Greenwood and for choosing XRKade® as their place to play! 3 P-Note MEMBERSHIP SALES VS. USAGE I realize this message is arriving mid-March and our beginning of the year usage is starting to drop a bit already, but I still believe the information is important and worth sharing. Obviously, you all know how important membership sales are to a health club. They are the bread and butter of the business and without memberships we would cease to exist. We set membership goals each month, assign goals to our Membership Representatives and promote and advertise to meet and exceed those goals. We also look at our monthly resigns, find out why members are leaving, attempt to save them and calculate the sales vs. resigns in hopes of achieving a net increase in memberships. This system is the foundation of every health club in the fitness industry and is not unique to Greenwood. The difference between GATC and other clubs lies in the numbers! Typically, health club sales and usage increase during January and February and in most clubs, the increases are substantial. GATC is not your typical club and is probably one of the many reasons you choose to be a member. Our sales are fairly consistent month-tomonth and the increase in January is minimal. That said, I want to share a statistic with you: 2007 2008 2009 Monday 1,438 1,515 1,541 Tuesday 1,355 1,488 1,509 Wednesday 1,291 1,357 1,410 Thursday 1,229 1,324 1,291 Friday 1,134 1,151 1,191 Saturday 941 1,016 1,027 Sunday 784 816 861 Memberships 3,703 3,612 3,556 This table shows a history of our average usage by day of the week for the past three years. It also shows a comparison of end of the year membership numbers. As you can see we have increased our usage and decreased our total membership. 2007 was a banner year for our world economy, for the club and I am sure for many of you. Our sales were high, but our usage was lower. Now, we have slightly fewer members but our usage is high and for point of reference, January, 2010 Monday and Tuesday usage numbers have been 1800+. So, when you come to the club, find it more challenging to get a good parking spot, find your group exercise classes are full and the pool and weight room are packed…you know why! We have a very fit population of members who pay the appropriate fees to belong to the premiere athletic and tennis club in the area and use it! 4 GATC never has been, and never will be, a “hard sell” club. We want positive membership growth but that growth will not negatively impact our ability to serve each and every one of you at the level you have all come to expect from GATC. Many of our competitors’ sales philosophies are harder and their membership goals are higher, to the extent of selling as many as 10,000 memberships in a facility that is virtually the same size as Greenwood (3556 memberships in comparison.) That particular philosophy may work in some facilities but it does not allow us to fulfill our commitment to you and provide you with the best exercise experience possible. Greenwood is your partner in health and in order for you to see results you must use the club! So, if you are one of the thousands of members frequenting GATC on a daily basis, my hat is off to you and we salute you for your commitment. If you haven’t been here lately, you’ll be hearing from us! Please know, if you ever have any questions about our business philosophy, our operation or anything else; do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to seeing you at the club! 1 0 T H A N N U A 5K RUN/ WALK (Officially timed by timing chip) OR 1 MILE FITNESS WALK (Non-timed, approximately one mile) Crescent Park (Located at Belleview and DTC Boulevard) Benefiting the Community Asset Project, a Partner with the Cherry Creek School District.

Ten tests are available including the VAP test, which is an expanded cholesterol test that will increase your doctor’s ability to detect your risk of heart disease and a vitamin D test, which measures both D2 and D3 separately.

Pamper yourself a little and leave your pool gear, tennis shoes, weight gloves or just your toiletries so you don’t lug them back and forth all summer.

See you at the pools! 5 Group Exercise Jane Helsing Group Exercise Coordinator 303.770.2582 x312 janeh@GreenwoodATC.com FITNESS TRENDS FOR 2010 First, I would like to thank the Greenwood group exercise team and our members for making the Winter Group Exercise Event a success! It rocked and exposed us to different ways to work our minds and bodies. Even the “Learn to RIDE Indoors” feedback was huge because it solidified the need for this type of program in order to relieve the intimidation factor of trying a class for the first time. Ironically, I came across an article from the American Council on Exercise (ACE) entitled, Top Fitness Trends for 2010. Here are some of the highlights: • Exergaming: an interesting one for game lovers to add variety to their workouts. Try XRKade® here at GATC • Functional training: willPower & grace® is a perfect example • Specialty exercise training classes; Zumba® and mind and body awareness classes: Greenwood will be hosting more mind/body workshops in 2010 • Express workouts: Ab Lab, EnergyZone®, CycleZone® and a Cardio 45 Workout class that fits in this category • Aging Adults: recognize the need for regular exercise to improve overall wellbeing • Small group training for those on tight budgets: please contact the personal training department for more information on small group training • Health and fitness awareness to fight inactivity and obesity • Proper professional credentials As you can see, it is important that the Greenwood staff stay on top of what is current and relative. I am not a fad chaser, but am certainly open to ideas and programs that are worth looking into to enhance group exercise experiences at Greenwood Athletic and Tennis Club. GREENWOOD GIVES Greenwood gave over $34,000 of in-kind donations in 2009. Thank you to all who participated in our fundraising efforts. 6 Personal Training Vic Spatola Director of Personal Training 303.770.2582 x339 vics@GreenwoodATC.com STRAP YOURSELF IN TO FITNESS! Our Pulse cover features one of the newest and most innovative tools to hit the fitness field in the last few years. The TRX Fitness Anywhere system allows you to use your body weight, or a portion of that weight, to perform exercises. Any exercise from a partial body weight pull-up to a suspended crunch can be done on the TRX, but the best part about it is that the system is portable and can be anchored in any closed door. This allows the user to be consistent in their workouts even when traveling. With some prior education, the TRX can be integrated into any workout program and can be done at any fitness level. It also creates a distinct mind body connection because of the instability it provides. The user must be in tune with their body to perform exercises correctly. Besides its portability, the TRX is unique because it requires core strength. Many training methods target your core with exercises but each exercise on the TRX demands the core be involved. It relies on either feet or hands in the straps and the opposite touching the floor. The training effect is then elevated because of the instability of the straps. Anyone can do TRX because it uses a portion of your own personal body weight. By suspending part of your body in the straps, it becomes easier to perform certain movements, making this a fantastic functional training device for everyone, from kids to the mature adult. Although strength is the main benefit you gain from using the system, by linking exercises together you can also receive a cardiovascular workout. Since the only adjustments on the TRX are the strap lengths, you can perform several exercises sequentially without the need for stopping to adjust a machine or weight. TRX is a time efficient workout that hits many areas of fitness. t t t t t t t t t t t In short, the TRX is another great tool to add to your workout repertoire. Please see one of the following trainers for more information on the TRX: Karen Zareck-x387 Jennifer Schumm-x285 Lana Betti-x344 Ken Washington-x372 Pam Oliver-x373 TRX SMALL GROUP TRAINING CLASSES These ongoing small group personal training classes (maximum of six people) will teach you how to get the most out of the TRX and provide you with a fantastic workout. Personal trainers will show you how to use the system to achieve the results you want.

The mat, the foundation of Pilates strength, is most important. It has been said that “mat is the method.” While the routine is very challenging at every level, when done correctly with precision and flow, you leave the mat feeling like a million bucks! We know the work is good because it has stood the test of time. A little history: the mat form of Pilates was developed first. It has been said that during the influenza outbreak in 1918, the prisoners of WWI who practiced the mat work, taught by Joseph Pilates while he interned, did not get sick. We now know that exercise stimulates white blood cell development and years ago, before science proved it, Joseph Pilates believed circulation was the key to health. The book Return to Life through Contrology is the only historical document indicating the order and sequence of the mat. All of the equipment Pilates developed came after the development of the floor work and is utilized in various ways, particularly for building strength and assisting in precisely and beautifully performing “the mat”. Pilates started his work on the floor (with the hundred) because he didn’t want to put undue strain and stress on the heart or the joints of the body. He finished the floor routine with push-ups and/or wall exercises on your feet, so you would embody the work upright as you carry on with your day. Matwork is harder because the mat exercises are un-assisted and open-chain. They require all of your control against the force of gravity. The mat and reformer compliment one another; one helps PROGRESS the other. In 1923 Joseph and Clara opened the first Pilates studio in New York, teaching to dance luminaries such as Martha Graham and Jerome Robbins. A handful of his students (the elders) carried on his teachings and have influenced others in turn to teach the Pilates way. Joseph Pilates taught until his death in 1967. Clara continued to run the studio until just before her death in 1977. Because Pilates and Pilates mat are generic terms, exercises proclaiming to be Pilates are in fact nothing more than individual exercises; not the beautifully balanced sequence seen in the actual mat that Joseph Pilates developed. The exercises are sequenced in a specific way where the body flexes, extends, laterally bends and rotates to create a uniformly developed body. We are proud to offer our mat classes at Greenwood complimentary with your membership. We offer 10 complimentary mat classes each week at different times in the day, so that you can attend one of our fabulous mat classes, from the hundred to the push ups.

Good for first time clients and private session only. 11 Aquatics Katie Luellen Aquatics Coordinator 303.770.2582 x325 katiel@GreenwoodATC.com ADULTS: DON’T JUST DIP YOUR TOE IN, JUMP IN WITH BOTH FEET! When most people think of the pools they think of splashing kids, swim teams, lazy summer days and water aerobics. But our pools encompass much more than that, especially for anyone over 18 who is interested in fitness, fun and the best choice for an overall workout because it includes cardio, strength, balance and conditioning. Exercising in the pool can be beneficial for ALL! You’re never too old to blow bubble rings! If the thought of submerging yourself in water makes your chest tighten and your heart race, our skilled and experienced instructors can work with you in a private setting to overcome that panic. Just ask Carol Storey who “used to look down on the indoor pool from my perch on a treadmill and watch with fear as swimmers gracefully swam back and forth.” Carol wanted to learn to swim so she began “diving for a rock on the bottom of the pool’ with Cama Jo Totura in private lessons in April 2008. Our adult group classes will build on your new comfort level and get you swimming. Whether it’s basic stroke technique in the beginning class or moving onto laps in the intermediate class, swimming can become a great addition to your fitness routine and you can start seeing that ‘swimmer body’ in the mirror. Our Masters team welcomes fitness swimmers as well as competitive adults. Once you can swim 300 meters without stopping and have been introduced to strokes other than freestyle, Masters provides a fantastic interval workout. We have Masters beginners, World Record Holders and all levels in between. For swimmers who want to conquer their stroke technique we offer underwater video analysis to ensure efficient mechanics. Adults of any age or fitness level can benefit from vertical water fitness too. Our challenging water aerobics classes can be much harder than you’d think. You’re guaranteed to work up a great sweat from mogul jumps through the thick viscosity of the water. Water walking and deep water running are also deceivingly hard: imagine trying to run through mud and you can get a sense of how intense it can be. Look for Aqua Personal Training options in the near future as well. Even those with health, wellness or injury concerns can benefit from either vertical or horizontal pool time. Asthmatics swim to enhance their lung capacity, joint pain sufferers avoid the high impact of land and autistics thrive in the muted underwater environment. Mike Burrow has lost 125 lbs. and counting from walking in our pool! Jessica Reinhardt is using deep water running as an addition to her marathon training to avoid further overuse injuries. And remember Carol Storey who had “fear, yes, gut wrenching fear” of the water? She is now training for her first triathlon and still has the rock she dove for as, “it reminds me of how proud I am of my accomplishments.” 12 ADULT SWIM CLASSES (ages 18+) Our adult classes are broken into two levels to accommodate all adults regardless of your needs. The beginner class teaches a natural progression of water introduction and confidence in a comfortable atmosphere to adults who want to swim properly and aren’t afraid of the water.

What may not be so obvious is how dedicated these young athletes must be to become better and faster swimmers. Our 10 & Under swimmers train two to four times a week while also participating in other sports like basketball, soccer, tennis, karate and lacrosse. The 11 & Over swimmers practice up to six times a week with many of them making the effort to wake up at 4:30 in the morning for a 75 minute practice, go to school and then come back in the afternoon for another two hours in the water! By this point, most have committed to swimming as their sport of choice, but may still play an instrument or go to youth group functions. Of course, all of our swimmers must continue to study hard and maintain their grades at school. This is not all they do - let’s not forget the three days a week they spend doing dry-land training. Monday, Wednesday and Friday all of the 10-14 year olds spend 45 minutes working outside of the water as part of the Performance Academy with trainers Brandon Smith and Paul Chavez. In addition to the time spent at practice, there are meet attendance requirements, which differ from group to group. USA Swimming meets are not just Saturday mornings like summer league meets, but are generally Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Many of our swimmers compete all three days and in one or more meets a month. Meets tend to be the most fun part of swimming, where you get to hang out with your friends and not just in the water, showing their dedication, not only to the sport, but to Greenwood. With all of this time spent together, their teammates may be among their closest friends and the bond created with the team and coaches is hard to duplicate. Youth groups, instruments, other sports, family, friends; the list goes on and on and yet the athletes on the Greenwood Tiger Sharks dedicate themselves above and beyond. Nothing wrong with saying it again. This really is a dedicated group of young athletes – and families! Head Coach Scott Cummins x350-Scottc@greenwoodATC.com Head Age Group Coach Nick Levine x407-Nickl@greenwoodATC.com Participation as a Tiger Shark requires club membership and monthly team dues. 2010 TRAINING PROGRAM Dates: March 24- August 15 DAYS/TIMES: TBD Will include group swims, bikes, runs and brick workouts, both in and outside the club COST: *$439 members only Tiger Shark Age Group Swimmers at the FAST meet in January. *Team price does not include race entry fees, but does include both the in-person and online coaching.

Ask the Expert FastForward Sport Coaches Contact Katie Luellen, Aquatics Coordinator 303.770.2582 x325 Katiel@greenwoodatc.com MULTI-SPORT EVENTS What does multi-sport mean? Essentially, anything that combines multiple disciplines into one event. The most popular would be triathlon (swim/bike/run) and duathlon (run/bike/run.) What are the distances of triathlon races? Sprint-typically ½ mile swim/13 mile bike/3.1 mile run Olympic-1.5K swim/40K bike/10K run Long course/70.3/half ironman-1.2 mile swim/56 mile bike/13.1 mile run Ironman (trademark of the World Triathlon Corporation)-2.4 mile swim/112 mile bike/26.2 mile run A Triathlon race can vary in total time from one hour to 17 hours. Regardless of the time, anyone who finishes any distance triathlon is considered a triathlete! Why Triathlon? It is a lifestyle sport. You train hard to be able to participate giving you great overall fitness. You eat better. You get a better night’s sleep. You wake up in the morning more refreshed and ready to do it all over again. It is a lot of fun to get outside, the way you did as a child, to swim, bike and run with friends. Once you have completed a multi-sport event you will feel “the glow” and your confidence will soar. How do I train for a triathlon? Even though triathlon is a three sport event, there are five areas to train in order to be successful: Swim: 2-4 times per week Bike: 2-4 times per week Run: 2-3 times per week Transition (aka “T1” and “T2”): 1-2 times per week. A transition workout, referred to as a brick workout, involves going from one discipline, directly into the next. The brick workout allows you to practice the change of shoes, differences in muscle activation and the mental shift of changing from one sport to the next. Nutrition: Food = Energy = Power. Nutrition is critical to both the triathlon lifestyle and being ready for race day. The key is to have sufficient energy through your training and your event. Race day is not the day to try something new. You have to practice fueling as you would practice your swim stroke. As with any sport, there are many different training philosophies in triathlon. We believe in recovery-based training, which typically allows for one or two days off per week. Our periodized training plan usually builds in three week blocks with the forth week being recovery. This cycle repeats through the base and build phase of training to allow for quality work and sufficient recovery. Why train with a group and a coach? Motivation, Inspiration, and Accountability: all of which come from training with a group Injury prevention: having someone put together your workout plan helps prevent injury Focus: keeps you focused on your goals It’s Fun! 17 Club Directory & Hours HOURS OF OPERATION Athletic Club 303-770-2582 HOURS OF OPERATION ink!

MEMBERSHIP Q & A This is the second column of frequently asked questions regarding your membership. The first issue featured guest passes and guest usage. This issue addresses prepaying your annual membership dues. What benefit do I receive for prepaying annual membership dues? You will receive 10% off the current membership dues rate. Are there any restrictions on which membership type is eligible for the 10% prepay discount? All membership types may prepay. The 10% reduction of dues excludes Associate and Young Professional athletic club memberships as well as tennis club Junior and Junior Pair memberships. Other exclusions may exist with special memberships (i.e., nanny, nonresident, etc.), please see the business office if you have a question. Will I get my money back on prepaid membership dues if I move during the year? All prepaid memberships are non-refundable and non-transferable. 18 At what time of the year may I prepay my annual membership dues? Prepays are accepted at any time of the year and are good for the following 12 months. It is important to note any dues increase (usually occurs January 1) and prepay prior to the increase, thereby securing the current rate (plus 10% reduction) vs. the increased rate. EXTENDED HOLIDAY HOURS To better serve our members we have extended athletic club holiday hours of operation from a 4:00pm to a 6:00pm closing time on Memorial Day, 4th of July and Labor Day.
