Harold and Sally Roberts, They say "the family that plays together stays together" and the Roberts family takes that to the extreme. They have been family members at Greenwood since 1989. One of their favorite activities is our beloved Boot Camp. Harold and Sally Roberts have been through this amazing experience for three years, their children (Jase, a senior at Cherry Creek High School and Katie, a business & communications major at Santa Clara University) have done it for two years. When asked how they got their kids to participate, Sally told us that it was actually their daughter Katie who tried it first and then challenged her parents to give it a try. Sally remembers Katie coming home one morning saying that Sergeant Rob had made her cry from all the pushups, but she got up the next morning and went back for more! Son, Jase, then joined the fun.. tormenting Sergeant Rob to the point of performing penalty pushups almost every morning! Harold and Sally agree that the ultimate reward from Boot Camp is the camaraderie you develop with the other participants, unlike any other workout around. When you think you can't go on, there is someone right beside you feeling the same way, yet encouraging you to go on. They told us, "Boot Camp breaks down all social barriers. When you're under a 100lb log doing crunches, it doesn't matter who you are, you're all suffering together. You can't get that anywhere else." During "off season" Harold and Sally participate in Breakfast Club, play tennis and work out in the weight room. Outside the club they enjoy skiing, are active in their church and volunteer at the Anchor Center for Blind Children. The Roberts are one of Greenwoods fit families and we are privileged to have them as members! NEW MEMBERS Please fill out our new member survey on the home page of our website! www.greenwoodathleticclub.com 2 P-Note, A message from the General Manager! Mediocrity……………..NEVER! Greenwood Athletic Club opened 18 years ago and the Tennis Center will be celebrating its' 10 year anniversary this December. With a combined operation of 28 years, it's not a surprise that we have been described as the best health club in the Denver metro area and one of the best in the country! GAC has also been rated in the Top 100 Health Clubs as listed in Club Industry; the business magazine for health & fitness facility management, many times over. I spent a few hours asking some of our members what they thought of GAC and here were some comments; “We've been members for 18 years and we still look forward to coming every morning; it's a home away from home; friendly, stimulating, motivating, spectacular, vibrant, clean, fun, promotes a healthy lifestyle; and,……the place to be”! When a company is successful, has been given top honors, or has been touted as the best, many times the company and its' employees will think they've achieved and performed at a level that is beyond improvement……….not Greenwood Athletic Club. We refuse to settle for mediocrity because we believe you deserve more! I had a member resign her membership about a month ago and one reason she gave for canceling her membership was that we remodel the club too often. We will do whatever it takes, within reasonable measurements, to make the club aesthetically pleasing, create a social environment that is warm and friendly, yet motivating and challenging, and do our best to provide you with quality programs and services, top-of-the-line equipment, and uphold a standard of service that is not duplicated in the industry. Thank you to the following members for referring a new member during November, December and January.

This is unacceptable! We have been in contact with Free Motion Fitness (owners of Nordic Track) and are working with them to help us devise a plan that will keep those treadmills operating. We know how much you love them and our goal is to meet your needs and satisfy our membership! Some exciting news that let's us know we are on the right track is that our resign rate is the lowest it's been in 18 years. Yet, we want it to be lower! Each staff member at GAC is committed to helping you achieve greatness; whether it's by decreasing your level of stress, losing weight, increasing stamina, or simply being a familiar face and smile! Your comments and feedback are welcome as you are our eyes and ears! Remember, Greenwood Athletic Club is your club! Challenge us, question us, and whatever you do, don't let us settle for mediocrity. My guarantee to you; we will continue to hold ourselves to a higher standard of excellence, and we don't compare ourselves to the local competitors. Our toughest competition is……….Greenwood Athletic Club!

The media suggests that we should have a body like Jennifer Anniston, Sara Jessica Parker or Brad Pitt yet that same media bombards us with advertisements for Big Macs, Little Debbies, Doritos and Pepsi! My focus in this article is your health and I will offer you 2 nutrition tips to think about. When it comes time to eat .... think Quality and Quantity. Make choices that are high in quality... I like to call it eating from the ground up. Eat food in as close to it’s natural state as possible and stay away from refined, processed items. Start by reading labels . Be aware of what is in the food you eat. Food is the most powerful drug we put in our bodies. If I handed you a pill and said, “ I’m not going to tell you what this is, what’s in it or what it will do to you, but I want you to take it three times a day, every day.” Would you take it? Of course not, but that’s what we do when we mindlessly eat processed food. Look at the label on a box of Rice a Roni, Wonder Bread or Fruity Pebbles. I can't even pronounce some of the ingredients listed! If the item is full of ingredients that you can’t read and have no clue what they are...skip it. The fruit and vegetables in the produce section don’t need labels, what you see is what you get. Rather than processed rice, try plain brown rice and add your own olive oil and seasonings. Your body has a built-in shut off switch if you are eating natural foods, but the further we stray from the “ground” the less that switch works and we over indulge. One Mini- doughnut has the same number of calories as a small apple. I would never sit down and eat five apples, but I could certainly eat five little doughnuts. Focus on lean protein such as chicken, beef, turkey and as much “produce” as you please. Then fill in with small portions of starches such as potatoes, whole grain bread and tortillas, rice, corn, etc, natures healthy fat from olive oil, avocados, nuts and seeds and an occasional treat. The second tip is to be mindful of the quantity of food you're taking in. What happened to the concept of portion control? Look at the big Gulp cup at your local 7-11. 64 ounces of pop? Are you kidding me? We are encouraged to Supersize everything! Even coffee! When I first started going to Starbucks you ordered a short, tall or grande. They don’t even have a short anymore...it’s tall, grande or venti. The best thing to come out of the book Body for Life was their examples of portion sizes. Your palm and your fist. When you are eating in a restaurant, a great tip is to ask for a to-go container as soon as your food arrives. Take everything that is not your “portion” and put it in the container, close the lid and set it aside. If that extra food remained on your plate you might be tempted to keep picking at it. Chances are, you won’t reach for the container, open it and start eating again! Don’t be afraid to tell the server exactly what you want. Restaurants are most often, very accommodating. No sauce, dressing on the side, vegetables or plain potato rather than fries and so on. When you are eating at home, again, read your labels! Even a serving of the wonderful brown rice is half a cup. Half a cup, level. Most of us would eat enough to fill a cereal bowl! And contrary to popular belief, that cereal bowl is not a serving size of the Ben and Jerrys ice cream you eat as a before bed snack. If you have to have it, have ONE serving... half a cup. Level! (and read the label. That half a cup has about 360 calories! Is it really worth it?) I want to be around for my son and for the grandchildren I hope to have. I want to be around and I want to be healthy and fit! Getting even the minimum amount of exercise and trying to eat more healthfully will relieve stress, give you energy, reduce chronic pain, lower you chance for diseases like cancer, type II diabetes, osteoporosis, and heart disease and help you maintain a healthy weight.

By Melanie Isley I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for all of the support and donations I received to participate in the Peak Pilates instructor training program this past month. Through everyone’s generous donations the workshop was 100% covered and I’m thrilled I was able to join my fellow co-workers to improve our abilities and skills as Pilates instructors. In September 2004 I was diagnosed with stage IIIA Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and I underwent weekly chemotherapy sessions for approximately three months. The treatment was successful and I can now use a quote made famous by Lance Armstrong, “I’m not only a cancer patient, I’m a cancer survivor.” Throughout this entire process everyone has been so supportive (family and friends, co-workers, the club, and clients) and it has helped me win this battle while keeping a positive attitude. Words cannot describe the impact all of your support has had on me! Peak Pilates, a Boulder based company, provides one of the highest quality Pilates education experiences available for instructors nationally and globally. The program combines a solid foundation of classical Pilates, including instruction on Mat, Reformer, Cadillac, and accessories in one compact course. We can now pass along what we have learned to our clients and this training session has elevated our understanding and appreciation for Pilates. My energy has returned to normal levels and I’m looking forward to teaching more of what I have learned from this program to others. If you are interested in learning more about Pilates and what it can do for YOU, please feel free to contact the Pilates Studio for additional information.

GAC Team Members OCTOBER 2004 TEAM MEMBER OF THE MONTH Omar Corrales Maintenance/Landscaping Omar began working at GAC in February 2003. He has worked in several areas of the maintenance department, including night shift and locker room attendant, but was most visible the past 2 summers working as our outdoor landscaper taking care of the GAC property. He was born in Choluteca, Honduras and has been in Colorado for the past 3 years, although his wife and two children still live in Tabasco, Mexico. Omar enjoys playing soccer and also reading and watching movies. He has had other jobs in Colorado, but none compare to the great feeling of Greenwood Athletic Club, where the people are friendly and he says it feels like a great big family. NOVEMBER 2004 TEAM MEMBER OF THE MONTH Penny Myers Group Exercise Instructor Penny began working at GAC in 1989. She has taught a variety of group exercise and martial arts classes. Penny was born in Broken Bow, Nebraska, but has lived in Colorado for over 25 years. She and Rob, her husband of 13 years, have 3 delightful, busy children: Lauren (10), Austin (7), and Christian (7). Penny and Rob have always enjoyed sports and athletics and now enjoy making sports a family event. Penny has a law degree from DU law school and practiced law for 10 years. She is ACE certified in both group exercise and personal training and is a 2nd degree black belt candidate. She is active in Cherry Hills Community Church and enjoys scrap-booking. Penny credits GAC member, Roni Melamed, as an inspiration in her life. Roni was brutally attacked by a stalker, but fought fiercely and bravely to fend him off. She has incredible inner strength and physical strength, and inspires Penny to instruct more women in the area of self-defense. 2004 TEAM MEMBER OF THE YEAR Shadia Ahmad Administration Team/Accounts Payable Shadia is a Colorado born and raised native. She began employment with GAC in the summer of 2001 where she worked in the youth summer camps and then in Member Services.

In early 2004 she began assisting with daily accounting and became the Accounts Payable Manager. Shadia's immediate family includes mom, dad, 2 older sisters and 1 younger brother. Her mom works in the travel agency at GAC. One sister previously worked for GAC and another sister currently works in the personal training team. In addition to working at GAC, Shadia attends Metro State College studying finance, enjoys spending time with family, enjoys basketball and softball, and is busy planning her wedding with her fiancé Ali. Shadia credits her sister Nadia as a personal inspiration for her desire to achieve and her dedication to her work. ask the expert A. Q. Author: Nadia Ahmad Greenwood Athletic Club Personal Trainer What and when should my child start to train with weights? Heavy weight training is designed to increase muscle bulk (the participant lifts very large loads for a few repetitions) and to develop a lot of power (quick explosive movements through a range of motion). This isn't a good activity for growing children because it can cause injury to the growth plates of the bones. Since the bones don't complete all of their growth until late in adolescence, heavy weight training should be avoided until after the teen years are over. For those below the age of 15, body weight exercises (push-ups, sit ups, body squats, etc) or strength training with lower weights are more appropriate. At age 15, most people's bodies are mature enough to begin the major lifts, performed with barbells, including the clean and jerk, power clean, snatch, squat, dead lift and the bench (incline and overhead presses). These exercises may lead to injury if you lift with improper technique and try heavier weights than you are capable of lifting without the help of spotters. NOTE: please see a GAC personal trainer to receive proper training and instruction on how to perform the major lifts. What your child younger than 15 should become involved in is strength training with lower weights at higher repetitions. Strength training involves more repetitions (usually 15-20) of a mild to moderate amount of weight. It can also include different forms of resistance exercises with the use of tubing, cables, and medicine balls, and isometric exercises (exercises that tone and strengthen the muscles without the lifting or movement of weights). The goal is to increase muscle strength over a short time without straining the growth plates. Strength training improves performance in sports and also has been shown to decrease the risk of injury. It can be helpful regardless of the sport the child participates in and can improve bone health and strength as well, which is particularly important for pre-adolescent and adolescent girls. The goal of your training program will depend on your age, your sport, physical maturity and the reason you are lifting weights. You need to consider which exercises you will use, how often you will do each exercise, what weight you will start with and when you will increase the weight. Whatever activity your child participates in, it's important to make sure that he/she is supervised by knowledgeable, qualified instructors who are used to working with children. Please contact the Greenwood Athletic Club Personal Training department for additional information. 13 anniversaries Thank you and congratulations to the following members who celebrate club anniversaries in the April, May and June months!
