June Fitness Article

Balance: One of the most surprising effects of less-than-ideal water intake is how it affects your balance. You may feel off or less than confident, especially when balancing on one foot.
Low Blood Pressure: Another result of dehydration is the reduction of blood volume-your sweat, urine and respiration are compromised and could lead to low blood pressure.
Cognitive Function: Even mild dehydration can impair concentration, alertness, and short-term memory. Severe dehydration can lead to confusion and dizziness.
Dehydration can have other, more commonly known effects:
- When exercising, dehydration can increase fatigue and decrease coordination.
- Dehydration can affect digestive issues, leading to constipation.
- Skin health is impacted by your water intake because water is needed to keep it elastic and hydrated. Not to mention looking its best regardless of age.
- Water is necessary for regulating body temperature, helping the body to cool itself, decreasing the risk of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
- Less than ideal water intake could lead to electrolyte imbalance: so important for muscle and nerve function.
Here are some ways to make keeping up with hydration a little easier:
Flavor Your Water (it makes it easier to drink more)
- Try adding cucumbers, berries, slices of citrus fruits, or herbs like mint or basil.
Drink Herbal Teas
- Iced or hot, herbal teas are hydrating due to their lack of caffeine.
Eat High-Water Content Vegetables and Fruits
- Cucumbers, Celery, Tomatoes, Lettuce (iceberg is the leader in water content), Zucchini, Watermelon, Cantaloupe, Honeydew, Oranges and Grapefruit, Berries
Make it a Part of Your Day
- Keep a water-filled bottle with you all day, taking several sips per hour to keep a steady effort.
Avoid "Water Thieves" - Avoiding things that pull water from your body helps to stay hydrated
Common culprits include:
- Caffeine
- Alcohol
- Salty snacks

Group Exercise Class Registration
- Registration will now open 72 hours (3 days) in advance of each class. (For example, if you’d like to take a class on Thursday, registration for that class will open at 12 am (midnight) on Monday. Please note that the day of the class does not count toward the 72 hours.)
- Registration will continue to open at midnight, as our current system does not allow us to adjust this time.
- To help make classes more accessible to everyone, we are encouraging members to sign up for no more than two classes within any 3-hour window. This will help ensure that more members have the opportunity to participate in the classes they enjoy.
- We also kindly ask that if you are unable to attend a class you are registered for, please cancel at least 2 hours in advance. This allows other members the opportunity to take your spot and helps our instructors plan accordingly.
Reminders will be posted at the front desk and inside each group fitness studio, and our team is happy to answer any questions you may have.
Friendly Reminders!
Aquatics:
Reminder - Please be sure to shower before entering any of our pools and refrain from hanging or sitting on the lap lanes. See Pool Schedules.
Fitness Floor:
Please be mindful when stepping onto the track. Members utilize the track for different reasons and you do not want to get run down. Treat it like you are crossing the street, be sure to look both ways!
Equipment:
Everyone has been doing a great job of wiping down the machines and keeping our equipment clean. Thank you for your consideration!
PLEASE NOTE!
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.
We appreciate your customer loyalty and are happy to help guide you on your wellness journey!
If you have any further questions or comments, we welcome your phone calls to our Front Desk!
Most Sincerely,
