THE group effect
Having an awesome community is key to any success you are striving for, and here at
the WAC, we’ve met a lot of amazing workout groups. While each group has their own
style, they’ve all found that working together keeps them accountable. Take a moment
to read through our members’ stories and discover how being part of a group helped
motivate and inspire them to accomplish—even surpass—their goals.

Linda, Cindy, Lynn, Liz and Ali
Linda, Cindy, Lynn and Liz are a tight-knit group.
After training individually with other WAC
trainers—even at some other WAC locations,
they decided to do group training. They inspire
each other to work harder and longer, even
when they have aches and pains. “Not only is
working out good for you,” says Lynn, “having
other people to do it with gives you something to
look forward to. Everyone is very supportive of
each other, and we’ve become familiar with each
other’s limitations.”
They love the camaraderie. When they’re not
training with Ali, they jump in on a Ringside or
Fit Club class. They even meet up outside of the
WAC. “I’ve become friends with Cindy, Linda and
Liz,” says Lynn. “We’ve gone out to restaurants,
participated in Norwex showings, and taken
walks together.” And even in hard times, they
are there to build each other up. “These women
rock! I’m lucky to have found them,” says Lynn.
Angie, Leah, Randi, Shauna,
Steph, Sue and Anthony
When Angie, Leah, Randi, Shauna, Steph and Sue
wanted to really push their bodies, they joined
Anthony’s high-intensity interval training (H.I.I.T.)
group. While some knew each other from other
classes or clubs, they really bonded under Anthony’s
group training. “Anthony does an amazing job of
having a group feel,” says Randi. “If one of us quits,
we all start over. We’re not going to let friends down.
It’s fun to laugh and work together.”
Working as a team has kept them motivated and
excited to come to the club. “Being part of a group has
been a great motivator. [I] love the encouragement,”
says Shauna. And while they haven’t been together
for very long, they can all agree that working together
really brings up their performance and pushes them
to go further. “We’ve never been this sore. It has
challenged us mentally and physically,” says Steph,
“and has made us stronger.”

Get a Kick Out of Combat!
By Megan Shemanske, WAC North Shore, Fitness Director
■ Tone Your Entire Body – Kickboxing forces you to
engage all the muscles groups in your body and combines
cardiovascular exercise and strength training in one! Whether
a punch/jab (back and shoulders), kick (quad and hamstring)
or knee move (core), you’ll work your back and trim your waist
with each move.
■ Blast Calories - The intense cardio and conditioning
element of kickboxing (jumping, twisting, bobbing and
weaving) makes it one of the highest calorie burning workouts
available. An hour class can burn up to 750 calories!
Tired of a boring and monotonous workout? When your
workouts are not motivating, you're more likely to give up
going to the gym. Instead of dreading the hours you'll spend
at the club this week, motivate yourself to get in shape with a
punching bag.
Kickboxing is a fighting technique combining karate-like
kicks with the punching of boxing. Whether by yourself or in a
class (Cardio Combat, Ringside, Cardio Kickboxing), this fun
and total-body workout will leave you feeling accomplished,
energized and sweaty!
These 5 benefits
make Kickboxing one
of the most efficient
forms of exercise:
■ Feel Confident – Kick some
butt! The high-intensity nature
of kickboxing means you’ll gain
improvements and see results
FAST. The more progress you
see, the more confident you’ll
become. Finishing something this
challenging will leave you feeling
accomplished.
■ Take out Stress and
Aggression – Intense physical
activity offers a healthy way to
help purge extra energy and get
frustration out of your system by
releasing endorphins. In addition,
this will help clear your mind and
reward you with a better night’s
sleep.
■ Improve Coordination and Reflexes – Focus on
ns
timing and accuracy versus justf power. Complex movements
f ns
and different series of punches and kicks will
test, challenge
and improve these skill sets over time.
f ns
f ns
Move your workout from the weight room to the heavy bag.
Be ready

Stop by the Wauwatosa WAC on a Tuesday or Friday and you might find Elise,
Mary, Lori, Amy, Jess, Leslie, Michelle and Liz working together to set up stations
or running as a group on the treadmills. After meeting together in classes and
programs at the WAC, these women decided to pool their fitness knowledge and
create a regular workout group. They all take turns crafting and planning workouts.
“We all seem to like the same intensity and we all chime in,” says Elise. “It goes very
smoothly.”
Having a steady group really keeps them accountable. They’ve found that it is much
easier to get to the gym when they know the group is meeting. They push each
other to do better, to reach further, to dig deeper. “I believe we are all in better
shape thanks to our workouts together,” says Elise. From Tabata to intervals to
stations, switching up exercises and leaders always keeps it fresh. “We really try
to incorporate all the equipment we have access to into our workouts. [There is]
such a nice variety of equipment to use. It’s kind of fun to try something new every
week,” says Elise.
Even when they’re not at the WAC, they like to get together; they’ve had lunches,
kids playdates and dinners out. “I really would consider all of the ladies I workout
with good friends. I’m so glad we have all come together,” says Elise.

Maddy’s Treading class is a club favorite at Greenfield, and
these Treading classmates have become excellent workout
companions and good friends. Each came to the class in
a different way, but this group has found they all have the
same workout style and that working together keeps them
coming back week after week. “Amazingly, we are various
ages, yet we feed off the energy of each other to reach our
goals,” says Jan.
These men and women challenge each other each week.
“Maddy is a great coach and motivator. She comes to class
prepared with a new challenge every time,” says Steve.
They motivate and inspire one another to keep moving
forward. “[We] push each other to the max. I get very
good workouts that I may not have gotten alone,” says Jim.

Even after class is over, the group gets together to run in
local races. From the Lucky Leprechaun 7K in Wauwatosa
to the Brewers Half Marathon, they train together and
compete together. “We inspire each other, cheer each
other on and celebrate after the race,” says Tracy, “It is
all good.”

Rod and Kristen
After Rod injured himself training for a race, he was referred to a Personal
Trainer to help him train properly and without injury. He started training
with Kristen Griffin who provided the support and education to help him
train successfully. With each session his injury and strength improved.
“The training was both fun and challenging. My confidence grew with her
support to the point where I reached all the goals we set for running,” says
Rod.
Now that he was back on track, Kristen recommended that he incorporated
a different cardio workout to his routine. He started taking Cycle, Interval
and Core. “These classes are so much fun, and the instructors are great,
says Rod. “I met more members and started feeling more connected to the
club and its staff.”
Staff and members started inviting Rod to activities outside of the gym. “I’ve
attended fundraisers, ran races as part of a team and joined a volleyball
team with staff, like Carly Malison, and other WAC members,” says Rod.
They’ve participated in several events, like the Rock & Sole Race, the
Brewers Mini Marathon, Bastille Days, and the Lakefront Discovery Run.
Being so connected with other members keeps Rod motivated. Rod
adds,“The whole staff and members make going to the gym so enjoyable,
and I actually look forward to going every day!”
Fred, Joyce, Rick, Linda, Tom, Sandy,

Jan Boberschmidt has been teaching Water classes at
the WAC for 21 years. Over time, many of her class
participants have made life-long friends. Meet Fred,
Joyce, Rick, Linda, Tom, Sandy, Joe, Karen, Mary and
Bob. They are a Monday-Wednesday water aerobics
group that has been exercising together for years, and
their friendship goes far beyond the workout.
It probably started with a drink after class, but now
this group regularly meets outside of class—and even
outside of the WAC. From Christmas and Valentine’s
Day to Cinco de Mayo and the Summer Olympics, this
group never misses an opportunity to get together. They
have relays and play games in the pool, then meet in the
Club Pub for a potluck. They also stop by each other’s
houses for an occasional lunch or dinner. A few years
ago, they were even featured in the Waukesha Freeman
when one of their fellow class-goers turned 90.
f ns
Their friendship and camaraderie keeps them coming
back regularly. They all agree that it makes it easier
f ns
to come and exercise knowing that
their friends are
f ns
joining them in their workouts.

Summer Break
Staying Hydrated
During Your Workout
By Michael Lederer
Downtown
Fitness Director
Saturday morning is finally here, and you’ve had this day marked on your
calendar for months. Whether today is your first half-marathon, a 90-minute
WAC Cycle ride or your company’s annual 5K run/walk, you are totally
prepared. You have followed your trainers exercise plan, enjoyed your favorite
carb-loaded pasta the night before and even had the best eight hours of
sleep you can remember. What could possibly sabotage your day of fitness?
Dehydration.
Water is the most essential nutrient for life; it helps us regulate our body
temperature and lubricate our joints. Not getting enough water can cause
muscle cramps, dizziness, fatigue, heat exhaustion or heat stroke. It is important
to keep hydrated during exercise to keep your body moving. Because there
is wide variability in the hydration levels of individuals, it is nearly impossible
to provide specific recommendations, but here are some general guidelines:
Are your kids home from school for the summer?
Upgrade your membership to include minors,
and your children under 22 will have access
to the club for the summer. For students over
22 and non-members, we’re bringing back
our Student Summer Membership. Qualifying
students can sign-up for a 3-month membership
and take advantage of a hot summer rate.
*For more details on Upgrades or Student
Summer memberships, contact any WAC
Member Services Representative.
Health Rewards Programs
More and more employers and insurance
groups are offering health rewards programs. If
you need to know how many times you’ve visited
the club, simply stop at the Front Desk. We can
pull up to 60 days of usage. If you’re curious
about health rewards programs, check with your
employer or insurance provider to find out if your
plan includes club membership reimbursement
or rewards.
■ Drink 8-10 fl oz 30 minutes before exercise
■ Drink 8-10 fl oz every 10-15 minutes during exercise
■ If exercising longer than 90 minutes, drink 8-10 fl oz of a sports drink
(with no more than 8 percent carbohydrate) every 15 - 30 minutes
■ Drink 20-24 fl oz water for every 1 lb lost during exercise
■ Consume a 4:1 ratio of carbohydrate to protein within the 2 hours after exercise to replenish glycogen stores.
Don’t let your fitness event be
disrupted by a lack of hydration. Follow the steps above and see your WAC
fitness professionals for more questions on this and other fitness related
topics.

In 2013, Bill and a group of other WAC trainers and members started training for
the Tough Mudder race. He was looking for a fun yet challenging group event,
and that seemed like a great fit. They trained together and met in Cascade,
Wisconsin to compete. But, electroshock obstacles aside, they found that even
the Tough Mudder race wasn’t tough enough for them. So they decided to
attempt a more competitive event in Chicago: The Men’s Health Urbanathlon.
After competing—and doing extremely well—in the 2014 Urbanathlon, now
begins their training for a new season. They meet twice a week to train; they’ll
do intervals on the Woodway treadmills or jump in a Tread & Train class, and
then follow that up with Janet’s H.I.I.T. or core workout. Each weekend, they
meet at Concordia University to take on the stairs. “What a great way to wake
up on a Saturday or Sunday,” says Bill, “We have a routine that takes one hour—
and you leave feeling it!”
*Class and Program fees vary based
on
fa length of session and level of Trainer.
Check
with your club’s Fitness Staff or printed
ns
schedules for more details including fees.
Their hard training pays off. “Last fall, we realized that we are actually very
competitive on a regional level,” says Bill. “Having two of the group in the top 5
(Erin placed 1st) of their age categories at the Urbanathlon in Chicago, verified
[that] our training efforts were working well.” Their goal this year is to keep
improving, and working together as a team keeps them motivated. “It helps to
endure the pain of higher level training when you see others struggle with you,”
says Bill. “I think we all are seeing great progress in our fitness goals.”

Do you have pain in
the front of your knee
while working out?
Exercise Your Brain!
See how many differences you can spot in the photos below. Hint: there are a total
of twelve! Check your answers by visiting www.thewac.com/wactivity
Many people think that pain in the front of your knee or
around your kneecap is normal when participating in an
exercise program, especially when you are doing a lot of
lower body strengthening. Stop! This is not normal! The
good news is that pain in the front of your knee during
exercises such as squats, lunges, leg press and step ups can
be from a variety of sources of which most can be addressed
by simply tweaking your routine or focusing on form.
Things to think about...
Form: Most pain can be alleviated by making sure you
are using proper form with exercises. In general, the knee
should never go forward over your toes and never drop in
towards the midline.
Hip and core strength: These are areas that are
commonly overlooked and play a big role with knee
alignment and force distribution. Simply add some abdominal
stabilization and clamshell exercises to your routine.
Flexibility: The common areas of tightness include the
IT band, quadriceps, hamstrings, calves and hip flexors. It’s
important to incorporate stretching and foam rolling into
your routine. Remember, you never want to stretch a cold
muscle! It is important to warm up appropriately.
Do you have a nagging pain or a new injury?
The Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin sports
medicine team offers free injury assessments. You will
receive a comprehensive assessment from a licensed health
care professional. He or she will make recommendations to
help alleviate your pain. He or she will steer you in the right
direction if it's something that needs to be looked into further.
Free injury assessments are available by appointment

Hello! My name is Violet and I’m 4 years old. I love playing with
Legos and American Girl dolls. I have three older siblings. My
brother Charlie is the oldest—he’s 12. He’s in 6th grade and
likes theater, music and reading. My other brother Theo is 9
and is in 3rd grade. He likes Legos (like me!) and video games.
Both of my brothers like Pokémon. Louisa is 7 and she’s in 1st
grade. She likes music, coloring and art. Charlie wants to be a
teacher when he grows up, Theo wants to be a Lego designer,
Louisa wants to be a mommy… I don’t know what I want to
be—I’m only 4! Dad is a laryngologist (that’s a fancy word for
throat surgeon) and an assistant professor at Froedtert/MCW.
Mommy hangs out with us kids. We all love going to the WAC.
Mom likes to do strength training, Yoga and water aerobics.
Dad likes cardio fitness and strength training. My brothers
like the teachers at the Kids’ Clubhouse, and Lousia and I like
playing with the other kids. Our family lives in Wauwatosa and
we love it there! We go to movies, try new restaurants and go
to fairs and festivals. Our family is pretty great!

Tell us about your wellness
program and how it started:
The beginning of the year is always a
good time to focus on health, which is
what triggered our interest in starting
a wellness program. Working in an
office environment, it’s easy to fall into a
sedentary lifestyle. This is what we are
trying to avoid by creating this wellness
initiative.
We teamed up with the West Allis WAC for our current wellness
program. It will run a total of eight weeks, ending in April, and
consist of 8 Friday nights of fun classes. The class offers a variety
of WAC programming, allowing our employees to find their fitness
groove.
How has partnering with the WAC helped
your wellness program?
We have found working with the WAC to be a very positive
experience. The West Allis General Manager, Trish Beatty, has

so far. We hope to continue this trend. Employee engagement
is very important to the program’s success. We hope that by
providing prizes that are also wellness related, we will continue
employee engagement for future programs.
What’s in store for the future?
We are hopeful that we can continue to be successful in engaging
our workforce in a healthy lifestyle and will be offering wellness
initiatives throughout 2015.

Food
Harvest your
Health with
Local Produce
for
By Kim Flannery, WAC Nutrition Director & Registered Dietitian-Nutritionist
Once you bring your fresh local produce home, the real fun
begins. There are endless delicious ways to prepare nutritious
vegetables and fruits for summer meals. Perhaps the easiest
use of fresh produce is in summer salads. By blending bold
colors and flavors, you can create many delicious main dishes
and sides without a recipe. Just add a flavorful dressing.
Ahh, the simple pleasures of summer! Tomatoes start tasting
like tomatoes instead of cardboard, and a wide variety of
locally sourced produce reappears on grocery shelves and in
farmers markets throughout Southeastern Wisconsin. What are
the benefits of eating locally grown fruits and vegetables?
Fresh produce has better flavor. When food is transported
long distances, it is often picked before it ripens. As a result,
flavor does not have a chance to naturally develop completely.
Hard, dry, flavorless tomatoes in the middle of winter are good
examples; they lack the full, rich flavors and tender, moist
texture of in-season tomatoes grown locally.
If you need an idea to fire up your creativity, try this fresh
summer salad that incorporates heirloom tomatoes and beets.
It’s simple, colorful, and packed with good nutrition.
Eating local is more economical. When you buy what is
growing now, you are usually choosing from a larger supply,
which means the price tends to be lower than if the same
produce is purchased when in short supply.
The nutritional quality of local produce is better. When food is
sold close to where it is grown, it is simply fresher than when
it is transported from far away and stored for a longer time
before sale. That means it is more nutritious as well. Less time
between harvest and your table brings more nutrients to you
and your family.
The best way to know how your food was grown is to grow it
yourself, but there are other good options. If gardening doesn’t
excite you, visit a local farmers market or join a Community
Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm.
