THE INSIDER
A MESSAGE FROM THE CEO
Summertime is fun, and we still need to workout! Between the backyard BBQs, beach days, and longer evenings, it is easy to let our fitness routines take a backseat to seasonal celebrations.
But maintaining your momentum now ensures you don't lose all the hard-earned progress you ' ve made throughout the year. Staying active doesn't mean skipping out on summertime fun; it’s about fueling your body so you have the energy to enjoy this season to the fullest. Think of your gym time not as a chore that cuts into your summer, but as the ultimate power-up for all your seasonal adventures!
A MESSAGE FROM THE CEO
3 WAYS TO STAY ON TRACK
1) Cold-start your workout. Don't overthink it — just put on your shoes. Action precedes motivation, not the other way around. Just start moving and let your mind catch up after.
2) Cue up high-BPM music. Music above 120BPM will improve workout performance, effort perception, and endurance. Build a power playlist and use it deliberately.
3) Review your past wins. Spend at least 2 minutes writing down or re-reading what you ' ve already achieved, recent or historic. Then talk to your workout buddy about your successes.
You are not in this alone! I have decided to workout at 5:30am, 3 times a week on the stairclimber (in preparation for a hiking trip), and 4 different strength exercises each day. It has become a habit and I can see improvement each week.
ACTION
PRECEDES MOTIVATION. DON'T WAIT FOR THE
PUT ON YOUR SHOES AND MOVE.
Your body is the foundation for everything you experience and achieve. It needs consistent care. Congrats to all of you for taking such good care and producing a healthy, strong body.
Keep up the good work!

4.Cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side, flipping only once, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F
5.Remove from heat and let the patties rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Pinch of salt and black pepper
Inside Scoop: Mixing the feta and spinach directly into the turkey keeps the lean meat juicy without needing a ton of oil or heavy binders!

Upgrading The Heartbeat Of Our Arcata Club
As we look forward to cooler weather and the beautiful changing leaves, we are also prepping for an incredible transformation here at HealthSPORT Arcata! We’ve listened closely to your feedback, and we are officially making waves with a major renovation of our Arcata pool area. To give our community the beautiful, modern space it deserves, we are diving into a full pool resurfacing, along with new paint and tile.
To make these exciting upgrades possible, our pool and spa area will be fully closed while construction is underway. Don’t worry - we have a plan
Because our swimmers are some of the most dedicated members of our fitness family, we want to ensure your routines aren’t disrupted. During the closure, our lap swimmers, family swimmers, and pool parties are warmly invited to use our Eureka facility, while our swim lesson clients will temporarily transition to the Cal Poly Humboldt pool. This project starts September 7th, and is expected to take 6-8 weeks to complete

Upgrading The Heartbeat Of Our Arcata Club
This pool is truly the heartbeat of our club, and I love being stopped in the hallways by members sharing their favorite memories of learning to swim here as kids, hosting birthday parties, and now bringing their own children to make those same splashes. Our pool remains one of the most loved features of HealthSPORT, and this renovation is our way of pouring that love right back into the facility for you.

If you have any questions, please visit our website, give us a call, or speak with any of our front desk staff. We are so excited to reveal this beautiful new space and welcome you back to make a big splash in our upgraded pool!
