Club Updates from General Manager Nancy Terrell

Whew! There is a lot going on at the club in March! There is pretty much something for everyone happening this month. We would love to see more people at the deck parties. Folks tell us all the time how much they love them, but the attendance tells us something different. We book some top-notch musicians, so you can always count on good music up there.  Come by and meet your new Special Events Director Elizabeth Sewell, who is usually bartending! We keep the website updated with upcoming parties as well, so you can always find that information. Click Here For That Webpage, so you can bookmark it.                
There are a few things I want to share:

• We apologize for not being clear in the last notice regarding the new policy of the extra $5 fee to drop-in to tennis clinics. The official policy is that you need to register (on the app, from a computer, or by calling the front desk) for a tennis clinic by 12 noon the day before, or you will pay the extra drop-in fee of $5. Non-members are able to use the app for this as well, so please inquire with the membership staff to help you get set up if you are not already. They can be reached by email at [email protected].
• Keep your cars locked. Bring all valuables inside the club and safely lock them in our secure lockers. Thieves target health club parking lots because they know people tend to leave things in their cars while working out. Please also lock up all your valuables while using the locker rooms. You should never ever leave anything unattended, even while using the shower.

SAUNAS

It sounds like many of you have had a chance to try out the newest sauna (now officially named the Wood Sauna). This one is a large, dry sauna. We plan to keep it consistently heated at 180 degrees. You do not need a reservation for it, as it seats approximately four people at a time. Please be sure to share the space if you see someone approaching. We added a spray bottle of water to use on the rocks in case you like a whiff of steam. Please do not pour water on the rocks.
As with the other two saunas, you must sit on a towel, and ALWAYS rinse off before getting into the pool or hot tub. We would hate to do it, but your sauna access could be revoked if we discover that you are not doing either of these two things. Now that we have this hotter sauna, we plan to keep the infra-red saunas set at 140 degrees. This temperature is more in line with what is recommended for that type of sauna. We also have the new red light therapy panel that is in the newer infrared sauna (now officially named the Red Sauna). This super cool therapy is free to use and is activated only by turning on the switch right on the red-light panel. PLEASE do not try to adjust the settings on the sauna panel touchpad. We will send a separate email soon with more detailed sauna information, so you can learn more about the therapies, and have a quick easy access guide to the three saunas. We are glad that everyone is enjoying them so much!

Fitness Equipment Survey

Last chance to give feedback! The survey will close on Sunday, March 10.
We are replacing some fitness equipment and want your feedback!
Click Here To Fill Out Our Survey Regarding Cardio and Weight Room Equipment

We have a few reminders:

• We aim to keep the large pool temperature between 80-82 (usually closer to 80-81 most of the year). Reminder that this is because many lap swimmers prefer the pool to be around 78, and then a separate group of folks like it to be over 82, so our compromise has always been 80-81.
• Please do not sit on workout equipment while using your phone and not working out. Please go finish your thoughts somewhere else and then come back to the machine when you are ready to workout again. You never know who might be waiting to use that equipment.
• Do not use or wear perfumes while participating in group fitness classes (this rule is printed on our group exercise schedule guide as well) or in the locker rooms. There are some members with severe allergies and we want to be kind for them.
• Parking: It has been better lately with the help of the nice village patrolmen. Hopefully they are setting the tone to the public that they cannot park in our lot to use the Bob Jones Trail. There are two more steps in the works. One is that we are going to fence off the Bob Jones Trail access from our lot, and install a pedestrian gate with a constantly changing code that we will give only to members if they check into the club. The third step is in the works. All of these systems should alleviate any parking issues in the future. Pleases remember:
• DO NOT PARK in the spots designated for a particular business. They do have a right to tow you. There are a few in the Village – look for a sign at the head of their spots and/or lettering on the asphalt of the spot.
• Please cancel your swim, tennis, or sauna reservation prior to 4 hours from the start time, or you will receive a $10 cancelation fee.
• Cancel your swim, tennis, or sauna reservation if you are not coming. No shows receive a $20 fee. Please do be sure to check into the club or it will mark you as a no show for your reservations that day.
• Cell phone policy – No talking on phones in all workout areas and locker rooms (this includes the small changing rooms in the adult women's locker room). Absolutely NO SPEAKER phone usage is allowed in any area of the club. This includes watching videos on the speaker.

Massage Therapist Lorri Nelson

We are proud to have Lorri on our spa staff of talented therapists. Lorri was born and raised here on the beautiful Central Coast. In 2012, she began her journey as a massage therapist at the local California Holistic Institute in San Luis Obispo. Since then, Lorri has trained in a wide variety of modalities to help her clients feel their best emotionally and physically. The range of her modalities include Myofascial Release, Massage Cupping, Oncology Massage for Cancer, and Reiki. The unique art of Massage Cupping can help to decrease pain and inflammation by increasing circulation, releasing toxins and stretching the myofascial tissue. The skilled and sensitive Oncology Massage for Cancer takes into consideration the pain and energy tolerance of the client and the location of any removed lymph nodes. Lorri loves what she does, and she feels very blessed to be able to help others with her unique skills. Fun fact – Lorri and Nancy Terrell waited tables together many, many years ago! (We won't tell you exactly how many years…) Our front desk would be happy to help get you scheduled with Lorri, or feel free to Click Here For More Information.
