Member SPOTlight!
Sandy Golding
Sandy Golding has been a member
of Greenwood Athletic and Tennis
Club off and on since just after
GATC first opened 21 years ago!
What keeps bringing her back? Her
love of swimming and she says she’ll ‘never leave again’.
Sandy is a competitive swimmer and trains with GATC’s
Masters Swimming program. She began competing with her
first Masters swim meet 20 years ago right here in our
indoor pool. She was scared, cried and was unsure how to
race, but quickly overcame that fear. Sandy has since
attended the Masters National Swim meet eight times, most
recently this past May in Austin, Texas where she joined
other GATC staff, coaches and swimmers in helping Colorado
Masters Swimming win the National Championship title.
When she’s not in the water, Sandy is a pharmacist at
Homestead Animal Hospital, as well as working at Dr.
Charles Fischer’s Dental Office as the bookkeeper. Sandy
thanks her husband, Keith, an engineer at Lockheed Martin,
without whom she couldn’t manage to keep training and
enjoying her love of the water. “It’s what I do for me”,
Sandy says. She is very proud of her three kids: Miles 12,
Troy 11 and Aspen 10, but swimming is a passion for Sandy
and she will continue to make sacrifices to train, to make
the trips and to get the family taken care of. “It gets
sweeter as I get older and the outdoor pool just makes it
that much sweeter.” The relationships she’s established over
the last 20 years at GATC are priceless. Her morning locker
room friends don’t all swim with her, but they create a
wonderful feeling of belonging as they inquire about her
races and meets.
Sandy strives to “live each day to the fullest because you
never know what tomorrow may bring”. She also realizes
that as time moves on, Personal Best’s are less and less
likely. “Every year is a new year of competition. PR’s at this
age are rare, so it’s just a matter of performing well each
season.” Sandy says, “As a competitive adult I hope to
continue into my 80’s!” Greenwood Athletic and Tennis club
will strive to keep up with Sandy and still be here at 80!

P-Note
MAKING THE BEST PART OF YOUR DAY…EVEN BETTER
Why do you choose Greenwood Athletic and Tennis Club as your place
for fitness? What makes GATC special? Each May we conduct an
annual survey asking these questions and more. We want to know
what we do well, what we need to improve upon and what we need
to change or add to make Greenwood better. Our goal is to achieve
success by satisfying our members and guests and help them achieve
their desired level of fitness and beyond. The one true way we can
continue to improve is to ask the question and listen to your
responses…
Some of the capital improvements you are seeing now are a result
of the 2007 Member Survey. For instance, according to survey results,
85% of our members utilize the weight room. The weight room
expansion will increase the size of the space and the weight room
remodel will improve the overall layout therefore allowing more room
for stretching and functional training; two other suggestions
formulated from the survey.
In August the indoor pool will be completely renovated with a new
deck, new Diamond Bright pool surface, and replacement of the tiles
with blue and white tile in the pool, in the gutters, on the deck and
on the walls. We will also install new lane ropes. This renovation
came as a result of the increased usage in both lap pools. Since the
installation of the year-round outdoor 25 meter lap pool, the
swimming membership at GATC has increased substantially. The Tiger
Sharks youth swim team has increased in size. The Masters program
• Minor Illness and Injury Care
• Labs
• EKG
• Workers’ Compensation
• IV Hydration and Medication
• Respiratory Care with Nebulization Treatments
• Sports Physicals
• Flu Shots
• X-Ray

is growing and so are aquatic programs and lessons. The Multi-Sport
programs are flourishing with an increase in the amount of
triathletes at GATC. We have also added the pool float during
recreational hours in the outdoor pool for summertime fun!
On average Greenwood Athletic and Tennis Club has spent $1.6
million annually on capital improvements over the last four years.
This compares to an industry standard of $300,000 annually. We are
not only proud of this statistic, but it shows that we are dedicated
to providing our members with the best facilities and equipment
available.
We understand the necessary improvements needed to keep our club
in the best shape possible, but one other thing stood out in the
annual survey…the appreciation you as members have in the staff
at Greenwood Athletic and Tennis Club. Our goal is to provide you
with the highest level of service possible. One year ago this October
we launched a company-wide service training program for all 210
staff members. The program goal was to emphasize the importance
of providing world class service to our members and to treat our
members and guests with the highest level of respect. The training
highlighted our core values; passion, integrity, teamwork,
stewardship and continuous improvement and has been a stepping
stone for further staff development.
The 2008 Member Survey will be launched in the fall this year so we
can capture your comments relative to the expansion and capital
improvements completed in 2008. Again, we look forward to hearing
“the good, the bad and the ugly” so we can work hard to make
Greenwood Athletic and Tennis Club the Best Part of Your Day!
Our mission…Greenwood Athletic and Tennis Club sets industry
standards as a leading model for club management with fiscally
sound and consistent business practices, premier health and fitness
facilities, exceptional programs and services and professional staff
who focus on members first.
MEMBER ADVISORY COMMITTEE ALUMNI
Thank you to Dianne Metcalf-Leoni, Ashley Poole, Harold Roberts
and Louisa Schaffer for their two years of service on the Greenwood
Athletic and Tennis Club Member Advisory Committee (MAC). This
group of individuals along with current and alumni members has
contributed countless hours in hopes of making GATC a better place
for their fellow members. MAC has assisted the Management Team at
GATC with various projects including capital decisions,
communication, and marketing and sales efforts. Thank you to all of
our Member Advisory Committee members (past and present) for
helping make Greenwood Athletic and Tennis Club “The Best Part of
Your Day”!

“Recently I had my bone density tested at Greenwood Athletic and
Tennis Club. I was quite shocked to learn that I had osteopenia,
weakened bones. Being in my 50s, I was well aware that aging and
lifestyle can put one at risk of osteoporosis. The aging I could not
help. The lifestyle I live includes healthy eating habits and an active
lifestyle, but I have found that even people like me can still wind up
with osteopenia or osteoporosis.
If I had not taken this simple test, which provided me with instant
results, I may not have discovered my condition until a bone fracture
occurred. I faxed the test results I received from Life Measure Labs
over to my doctor and he immediately put me on medication in order
to help reverse bone loss.
All of your members who stay strong through exercise and live a
healthy lifestyle can still be gradually losing bone mass and never see
it happening. More than 44 million Americans 50 and older have
weakened bones. I never dreamed that I was one of them. My advice,
take the test! This is one condition that can be reversed, but you have
to know about it first.
Thank you for offering such a great program to Greenwood Athletic
and Tennis Club members.”
Sincerely, Denise Donaldson
RESTING METABOLIC RATE TESTING
Life Measure Labs will be performing
Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) testing at
GATC. Your RMR tells you how many
calories your body needs just to
maintain your muscles and internal
organs. When you add daily activity and
lifestyle, along with exercise, you can
determine your daily caloric needs. Learn how much you need to eat
to lose, gain or just maintain your weight.

POOL PASS PACKS ARE BACK
Let your children invite their
friends to the pool this summer.
Discounted children’s (ages 8
and younger) guest passes for
pool use only are again
available for purchase. For $75
you’ll receive 10 passes, each
good for a day of swimming.
This is a 25% savings off the regular youth price, great for nonfamily friends. Please remember that Greenwood’s policy limits guest
visits to three per month per person, so you’ll be able to invite many
different friends. Valid May 1 through October 1, 2008. See you at
the pool!
THE LOCKER ROOMS HAVE HAD A FACELIFT
You, too, can have your own personal locker to store those items
you use every visit or to just take advantage of the laundry service.
Isn’t it about time you pampered yourself a little bit? Don’t drag
your belongings to the club any longer. Contact Lisa for prices and
availability.

Pilates

THE BEST KEPT SECRET AT GREENWOOD…PILATES
We all know that exercise is good for us. The exercise regimen
choices out there are endless and it’s tempting to jump on the latest
craze or biggest bandwagon. Just as fanny packs, parachute pants
and mullets have come and gone (or at least should be gone) you
have to wonder if the trends we read about will also disappear.
Pilates has gone from unknown to trendy to standard. The reason
for its staying power is its effectiveness and the fact that people
enjoy it! It is such a great technique and is so versatile, helping
make every other activity in your life better, whether you’re sitting
at your computer, running a marathon, cycling up Mt. Evans or mogul
skiing.
If you have not tried Pilates at Greenwood, you are missing out! Our
Pilates facility is top notch and more importantly, our instructors
are truly impressive. As the Director of the program, I have made it
my personal mission to have all of our members give Pilates a try and
sample what our instructors have to offer. It is wonderful to be able
to affect a change in someone who doesn’t know their body well and
discover together, the wonders of what they can do and how they
can move. Learning that a client has awakened for the first time in
three years without pain, keeps us going.
We, in the Greenwood Pilates Studio, have made it our goal to show
you how we can personalize Pilates for specialized populations from
Baby Boomers to breast cancer survivors. We want to show seniors
how to improve their posture and increase their self confidence. We
want to protect golfers’ spines by training them to not get caught
up in their swing and instead focus on how the body moves the club.
Resist the temptation to follow a program that promises a six-pack
in six days. There is staying power behind Pilates, with its lowimpact approach and focus on strength, flexibility and balance.
Pilates can help individuals of all ages and fitness levels improve
their health and well being. Our mission as Pilates Instructors is to
make a difference one person at a time.

www.GreenwoodATC.com or stop by the Pilates Studio for more

IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT...DON’T DO IT!
I was eating dinner with my family at a local restaurant the other
night. Trying to get my healthy greens in that day, I ordered double
veggies rather than a potato. My order sparked an interesting
conversation between my family and our waitress. She began to
share her diet and exercise experience, which consisted of her
boyfriend making her run with him every day at his gym. Our waitress
went on for quite some time, telling us how much she hates to run,
how it hurts, how she dreads it all day long, but how her boyfriend
has told her it’s the only way to get fit. She walked away to help
another table, and when she returned, I whispered to her, “honey, if
you don’t like to run…don’t do it.”
It’s amazing that we force ourselves to do things that we do not
enjoy because we believe they are the only means to the success we
are trying to achieve. We think that healthy food has to taste terrible
and we think that in order to have the healthy bodies we desire we
have to participate in activities that make us miserable. When we
apply this viewpoint towards diet and exercise, we stack the cards
against ourselves. It is very difficult to succeed when the element
of dread replaces the element of fun.
When it comes to becoming and staying fit, the key is to know what
you enjoy and what makes you happy (besides sitting on the couch
eating potato chips), and find modes of exercise that fall within
that category. If you enjoy outdoor workouts but can’t find time to
make it to the mountains, join Boot or Booty Camp for a workout
that will get you down and dirty. If you’re a swimmer, give water
aerobics a try (it IS possible to sweat in the water, just ask the Tiger
Sharks!). If you enjoy dancing but your life won’t allow you to hit
the clubs, give Les Mills’ BodyJam® a try (coming this fall), the
cardio workout where you will sweat and smile as you are free to
enjoy the sensation of dance.

you and improve your
quality of life through
comprehensive dental
care and treatment.
Scott Baughman is coming up on his one year anniversary here at
Greenwood Athletic and Tennis Club. After injuring his calf in
October of 2007, Scott asked the Physical Therapists at
Physiotherapy Associates (located at GATC) how he might continue
doing cardio despite his injury. They told him to ride, either a
stationary bike by himself or participate in a Spinning® class with
54 of his closest friends. Needless to say, Scott lasted 30 minutes on
the stationary bike in the seclusion of his iPod, but has lasted close
to 10 months and lost 57 pounds with the help of the Spin room. He
found something he enjoyed, stuck with it, has seen results and
established a lifestyle that continues his success.
We have more than 115 complimentary group exercise classes here
at Greenwood Athletic and Tennis Club for you to choose from. A
variety of formats, programs, instructors and musical selections
designed to give you choices that contribute to the success of your
health. Find something you like…and just do it!

GET WET!
The outdoor pools are open and inviting you to take a dip! The Adult
Leisure pool is calling your name, the slide in the Splash Pool is
buffed and slippery, the outdoor lap pool is warm year round and the
pool float is inflated and waiting to bounce kids off. Why stay dry
this summer? We have programs for all ages, skill levels and
interests. Try us this summer and enjoy the water for a lifetime!
With renovations and expansions happening club wide, it’s time to
give the indoor pool a makeover. After 21 years of use, it needs some
work. Miles and miles of laps, infinite kids learning to swim and
much water fun have earned the pool some attention. Beginning
August 4th, the indoor pool will be closed for renovations including:
new flags and lane ropes, paint, decking, Diamond Brite pool finish
and new tile to match the outdoor pools. When it re-opens
September 8, you won’t recognize it, it’ll look so good!
POOL NIGHT IN (ages 5-12)
Like our Parents Night Out, Pool Night In will provide dinner and

GREENWOOD OLYMPIC CHALLENGE
Join GATC in our own 2008 Summer Olympics. Participants choose
from eight “events” to complete. You will receive a commemorative
shirt and celebrate the challenge’s completion at our post event
party on August 22. Details forthcoming. Cost is $35 per participantmembers only.
SHAKE THAT THING!
Events include:
The fitness industry is chock full of trendy fads to make you “fitter
faster”. Everything from the ThighMaster to the Six Minute Ab videos
promise great results with little effort. This is the furthest thing
from the truth! Effort = results should always be the simple way to
look at fitness.
There have been advances in fitness technology that are scientific
and proven methods for increasing fitness and health in the last two
decades (i.e. cam technology in weight machines, advanced pulley
cable systems, converging machine axis in strength equipment,
etc.). The latest of these innovations is vibration training! Although
this might conjure up images of a belt that shakes the fat off you
like in the 1920’s, this is a scientific and medically tested instrument
that has several applications in health and fitness. The concept is
fairly simple, a platform that vibrates at a frequency when you stand
or exercise on it that makes your muscles contract at a faster rate
than you could do by exercising with resistance. This does not mean
it replaces weight training, but is a great enhancement for that
training method.
The benefits of vibration training are numerous and have been
studied greatly dating back to the early 1960’s. Initially vibration
training was used to increase bone density in cosmonauts that had
spent several months aboard the Russian space labs in the 1960’s.
In zero gravity, the body quickly loses bone density. In order
to counteract and prevent long term damage, the Russians developed
vibration training based on a simple physics equation:
Force=Mass x Acceleration. In simple terms, the faster you move your
mass (in this case your own body weight) the more force you create.
The more force you create in your body the more stress is put on the
skeletal system, which then has to compensate by producing new
bone growth to increase bone density and prevent injury. What the
Russians noticed was not only did this method of training prevent
osteoporosis in their cosmonauts; it actually reversed the bone loss!
Since then, the technology has been modified and extrapolated into
a usable tool for the fitness industry. Most of the benefits have been
noticed in the following areas:
• Increases bone density to reverse osteoporosis without danger of
impact and fracture
• Increases joint mobility
• Increases muscular flexibility
• Increases muscle mass
• Improves core strength, stability and balance
• Facilitates blood circulation
• Decreases recovery time after workouts
• Quickly prepares the body for exercise
• Clients experience high muscle activity with less fatigue
In short, it is hard to argue with results and this device definitely
gets results with most clients.
For more information on vibration training and how you can
incorporate it in your routine contact Director of Personal Training
Vic Spatola.

PRACTICING WHAT I PREACH...
I always stress the importance of changing your workouts and trying
something new. I’m continuing the quest to try new things. After my
last article which focused on personal training, I was approached
(more like challenged) by one of our swim instructors to take a swim
lesson. Never backing down from a challenge, I accepted. I already
knew how to swim, but apparently I was not swimming correctly.
She showed me many different exercises to do in the pool, but most
important, she taught me proper breathing technique. As you may
or may not know, I am also a group exercise instructor and feel that
I am in reasonably good cardiovascular shape, but swimming
humbled me. I was sore in places I did not know could be sore.
Swimming is the change my body needed. I have not been able to
get in the pool as much as I would like, but I absolutely intend to
add swimming to my workout routine, even if it is only one day a
week (hopefully more). If you’re looking for a change as well as a
challenge, I highly recommend swimming and would also
recommend taking lessons. Anything worth doing, is worth
doing well!

HOW TO “WARM UP” FOR YOUR TENNIS MATCH
We’re now in the heart of the USTA league and tournament season and
for those of us in the business, the warm up is one of the more
challenging areas to manage. It’s also one of the bigger areas of
complaints that we hear about from players this time of year. The
problem is, that very few players understand how to execute a proper
warm up and very few tournaments enforce the warm up policy that
they have created, unless there is an on site referee.
The first step in beginning a good warm up procedure is to understand
that what you are doing is not practice, it’s a pre-match warm up. In a
warm up, you are generally allotted 10-15 minutes to develop a rhythm
and feel for each of the strokes you’ll be using throughout your match.
This includes groundstrokes, volleys, overheads and serves. In a practice,
you have much more time to devote to one area of interest and perhaps
other things as well, depending on your schedule. The big difference
will be in your mental focus for each.
Unfortunately, space doesn’t allow for me to go into all of the mental
aspects of a warm up. My focus here will be to help you develop a more
effective routine and improve time management. My first bit of advice
is to take care of as many things as possible off the court prior to going
on to the court. Activities such as re-gripping your racquet, filling your
water bottle, getting a towel ready, changing your shoes and of course
the big time saver - go to the bathroom! These things all add up and
are often responsible for players arriving to their assigned courts 10-15
minutes late.
Before any balls are hit, a racquet should be spun to determine the
serve and side. If the sun will be a factor during your match, I
recommend knowing your preferred side before walking on to the court
and standing on this side of the net. It is common for a player to not
plan this out very well and if you win the racquet spin you may be able
to have both the serve and your preferred side because your opponent
is likely to choose the side they’re on rather than take the time to switch
sides. As you can see, the racquet spin also determines the side that you
warm up on.
Usually the warm up should begin with groundstrokes. Hitting service
line to service line (mini tennis) with abbreviated strokes is a good way
to ease in to your shots. After a minute or two, you should move back
and progress in to full swings. Groundstrokes are usually exchanged for
5 or 6 minutes, then volleys by both players for a combined 2-3 minutes
including overheads. Serves are then exchanged back and forth between
players for the final 2 minutes. Return of serve is usually not part of the
warm up unless one player has finished warming up and the other player
needs to hit a few more serves. It’s perfectly acceptable to hit returns
in this case, but in most other instances it’s considered improper
etiquette.
Throughout the warm up, your shots should be aimed directly to your
opponent for consistency and longer rallies. I recommend aiming all of
your shots for extra depth since most players have a natural tendency
to hit shorter during the match. When warming up your serve, try to
14
direct a few balls to each of the corners and be sure to hit all of the
various spins that you plan to use. If you are feeling some nerves, one
of the best ways to ease tension is to become more active with your feet
and don’t worry about working up a sweat. This will go a long way
towards developing feel and getting you more mentally into the match
and off to a fast start.
Learning a solid warm up ritual is an important element of player
development. Once you find a routine that works for you it will go a long
way toward more consistent results. I hope these tips help and I look
forward to seeing you on the courts!

What is osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis (porous bones) is a common disease that weakens
bones and affects about eight million women and two million men
and causes more than 1.5 million fractures yearly in the U.S.
Osteoporosis can be prevented and treated.
What are osteoporosis symptoms?
Osteoporosis often progresses without symptoms or pain. Usually,
a doctor will diagnose osteoporosis after a fracture occurs. That
fracture is usually in the back or hips and can be painful,
debilitating and disfiguring, and can result in loss of mobility and
independence.
What is my risk for osteoporosis?
Family history: Osteoporosis seems to run in families. If your
mother had a hip fracture or spinal collapse fracture, chances are
you are at risk for osteoporosis.
Sex: Women are four times more likely than men to get
osteoporosis but men are not immune.
Age: Women over the age of 50 have the greatest risk of
developing osteoporosis, but anyone of any age can have it.
Bone structure and body weight. Petite and thin women have a
greater risk of developing osteoporosis. Weight loss after age 50
in women also seems to increase the risk of hip fractures. Smallboned, thin men have a greater risk than men with larger frames
and more body weight.
Medications: Some medications may increase your risk of
osteoporosis. These include long-term use of steroids
(prednisone), thyroid medication, anticonvulsants and other
medications.
How can I prevent osteoporosis?
Increase calcium in your diet. Getting enough calcium throughout
your life helps to keep bones strong. Experts recommend 1,000
milligrams each day for men premenopausal women and 1,500
milligrams a day for postmenopausal women.
Exercise. Exercise makes bones and muscles stronger and helps
prevent bone loss. It also helps you stay active and mobile.
Weight-bearing exercises such as walking, jogging, playing tennis
and aerobics are excellent for preventing osteoporosis. Strength
training and/or using the Itonic vibration plate will help build
stronger muscles and bones. Balance training will help you avoid
falls which will decrease your chances of breaking a bone.
How is osteoporosis detected?
A Bone Mineral Density test (BMD) is the only way to diagnose
osteoporosis and determine your risk for future fracture. Since
osteoporosis can develop undetected for decades until a fracture
occurs, early diagnosis is important.
How is osteoporosis treated?
Many osteoporosis treatments, including lifestyle choices and
medications are successful in stopping bone loss, reducing your
risk of fractures.
