Manager’s Message
Dear Members,
I took a moment at work today to step outside and enjoy the peacefulness of this beautiful summer day. As I sat by the pool appreciating the warmth of the sun and the clarity of the blue sky, I realized how grateful I am to have such a positive, healthful, community-oriented place to work. This year is my 25th year at Parkpoint and I want to take a moment to express my gratitude.
I’ve had the pleasure of beginning my fitness career at Parkpoint as a group exercise instructor and developing that passion into a full-time career. As the owners of Parkpoint, Bill and Lindy Buchanan have been wonderfully supportive throughout the years and I am truly thankful for all the opportunities they’ve provided. I also want to thank the other managers and staff – it is rare to have such a talented, dedicated, hard working, and cohesive team (just like family, as we always say) that sincerely cares about one another. Jennifer, our General Manager, Betty, our Accounting Manager, Lyndy, Lana, Don, Jeannette and I have worked together as managers for well over a decade! We’ve all had the pleasure of working with an amazing staff (too many to count and, unfortunately, too many to name) who are dedicated to health and wellness. Add the community of members to that picture and you can see what a unique and exceptional place Parkpoint is.
So thanks to each and every one of you – together we've created a meaningful place to gather, nurture our health and well-being, grow, and celebrate life! I’m grateful to be a part of it!
With gratitude,
Nancy

TRAINER’S TIP
Calling all Weekend Warriors!
Are you a “weekend warrior”? You know, Friday comes along and your weekend is filled with softball or basketball games, hiking, kayaking or biking adventures, or maybe just a gardening project. Then Monday comes around and you’re feeling the aches of pains after all that fun. What happened? You thought you were in shape? Why are you so sore?
A proper warm-up is the key to safe, injury-free and ache-free workouts.
The best way to warm up is to do the activity that you are going to be doing, only at an easier level. For example, if you are going for a run, start by walking slowly and then gently increase the pace. If you are throwing a ball, start with short tosses and then progress to longer throws with more power. If you are running bases, make sure that you do some short sprints before the game. No matter what the activity, always remember to start with easy movements and progress to more explosive ones. Spending the extra 10-20 minutes warming up will help to keep you on the playing field and in the game. The same equation works for hiking, biking and gardening. Of course, don’t forget to stretch afterwards as well!
As Clay said in his article last month, go out and play, it’s healthy for you! But don’t forget some of the basics of participating in your favorite activity after a long winter’s break. For more information about the proper warm up for your activity, ask one of the Fitness Floor staff. If you didn’t warm up and you pulled a hamstring, we can help with that as well.
Enjoy!

SUMMER ADAPTIVE PE with John Adams
Continues through July 30th
Monday/Wednesday/Friday: 1pm-3pm
What are the No Parking between 11:30-3pm signs all about?
John Adams is holding our first ever Summer Adaptive PE program. After learning that the SRJC Adaptive PE program would not continue through the summer, John teamed up with Parkpoint to offer a safe program for these students. John is an Adaptive PE assistant at the SRJC and has been a Parkpoint Personal Trainer for twelve years. He knows how hard those students have worked to get to their level of ability, and he wants to help them maintain and progress through the summer.
What is Adaptive PE? Adaptive PE addresses the needs of individuals that have varying degrees of ability: some use wheelchairs, others use walkers, canes, crutches or just need more assistance to perform their workouts. Parkpoint is pleased to provide a safe and effective workout environment for these participants.
To accommodate the Adaptive PE participants please avoid parking in the front parking area during the hours of 1-3pm on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. This will be a big help for the participants who need to get in and out of the building during these times. We want to thank you, our members, for being supportive of this program. We hope that it becomes a regular offering at the Club for those members in need.
If you are interested in becoming a part of this program or have a friend who is interested, contact John at 573-0842 or email him at kansaswineboy@yahoo.com. The program fee is $160 per person for 10 weeks of open gym under the John's supervision. The program is open to both members and nonmembers.

MEMBER & STAFF SUPERSTARS
Employee of the Quarter:
Congratulations to Adrienne Segoviano, aka AJ, on being selected as our second Employee of the Quarter for 2010! AJ has been on our maintenance team since February of 2008, assists in the Café, and more recently began to work in the Junior Club. Children and Early Childhood Education are AJ’s true passion and she delights in working with the kids. Early Childhood Education is the focus of her studies at the SRJC and she hopes to one day have a career in the field.
AJ is a delight to work with – always upbeat, energetic, friendly and helpful. AJ takes her job seriously and strives to do well at all times. She is responsible, capable, open to learning new skills, and willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done. AJ is a team player and always thoughtful of others – in fact, she uses her artistic talents to make birthday cards for every person on staff! We all appreciate her hard work as well as her teamwork. Thanks, AJ, for all you have contributed to Parkpoint!
