April is associated with springtime, new beginnings and a time to bloom. This is a great time of year to shed your layers and open yourself up to new possibilities. We offer plenty of opportunities to challenge yourself in different ways at the Wellness Centers. Take part in a group fitness class that you have never done before, try a different piece of equipment, swim in one of our pools, enjoy a hot tub, or make an appointment with one of our personal trainers to assist you in reaching your health and fitness goals.
April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month and April 11th is World Parkinson’s Day. Parkinson’s is a progressive degenerative chronic disease featuring a combination of motor and non-motor symptoms. The average age of onset is 60 and it is more prevalent in men. 1.5 million people in the US are affected, with the environment and genetics playing some role in the development of the disease.
The treatments consist of medications, deep brain stimulation, focused ultrasound and exercise, including boxing which some studies suggest may be neuro-protective possibly delaying the progression of Parkinson’s.
The Rock Steady Boxing program is Parkinson’s-specific and is an exercise modality that enables people with Parkinson’s to “fight” their disease. It has been shown to improve quality of life, sense of efficacy and self-worth. The program includes boxing, balance training, strength training, fine motor exercises, brain training, flexibility and fun! Another significant benefit of the program is the socialization aspect. Being together with others who share similar symptoms and experiences is invaluable.
Classes are held at the Clinton Wellness Center three times a week. Learn more about Rock Steady Boxing.
The presentation will include:
• Interactive 60-90 min. golf workshop
• Instinctive golf solutions to learn the golf swing
• Discover mental clarity for improved performance/enjoyment
• Functional exercise for golf (F.I.T. FORE GOLF)

If you are waitlisted for a class and someone cancels, you will automatically be moved into the class and an email will be sent to you if it is within 2 hours of the class start time.
Two hours prior to the class, the waitlist closes and no one automatically gets moved in. The reason for this is the person being moved into the class may not get the notification in time, therefore, we are potentially holding a spot for someone who may not get the message. Members should check the portal/app or may call in within two hours of the start time to find out if there is an opening. In other words, the open spots become available to anyone at the two hour mark.
If you are on the waitlist and you decide that you are not going to attend, we ask that you please remove yourself. We also kindly ask that members who are unable to attend a class, cancel their registration more than 2 hours before the class begins. Please remember that if you do not cancel at all, you are subject to a $10 penalty.
If you refer a friend or family member and they join the Wellness Centers, you will receive a choice of $20 on your club account that can be used toward any service, product, or membership fee OR two free guest passes.
Fitness is a journey, not a destination. Staying fit is an ongoing commitment with milestones achieved along the way.
We are excited to announce that the Hunterdon Health and Wellness Centers is now offering a new 1-year Fitness Anniversary Program to celebrate our members' fitness milestones. We are happy you trusted us to provide you with the tools that will lead to lifelong health and wellness.
During your anniversary month, you will be invited to bring a family member or friend to join you for a one-anniversary workout. You will also receive two guest passes for future use and a complimentary beverage from our Pro Shop. (To redeem your rewards, please present the email you will receive during your anniversary month to the Front Desk.) We look forward to celebrating your progress and expressing our appreciation to you as a valued member of the Hunterdon Health and Wellness Center.
If you have any further questions or comments, we welcome your phone calls to our Front Desk!
Most Sincerely,
