A MESSAGE FROM THE CEO Here comes Fall! While summer fun is almost over, I am taking one last vacation: a 10-day hiking trip. I will be back to tell you how it goes.
hello@healthsport.com
As the seasons transition, our daily routines tend to shift too. Fall is the perfect time to reset, recommit to your health, and focus on building momentum before the busyness of the end of the year sets in. You don't need endless hours in the gym or complicated equipment to make real progress toward your fitness goals. Consistency always beats intensity, especially when life gets busy.

A MESSAGE FROM THE CEO STRONGER IN 10 MINUTES If you have one final vacation, or the kids are finally back in school, and you find yourself with time to try something new, here is a good workout to get you started! A great workout does not have to be long to count. On busy days, try this simple 10-minute circuit:
THE GOAL IS NOT PERFECTION—IT IS BUILDING STRENGTH AND THE HABIT OF SHOWING UP.
8–12 squats or leg presses 8–12 chest presses or push-ups 8–12 seated rows 20–30 seconds of a plank or carry Run up and down the stairs a few times Complete two or three rounds at a comfortable pace. Choose a weight that lets you maintain good form, and ask a trainer if you would like help getting started. The goal is not perfection—it is building strength and building the habit of showing up. hello@healthsport.com
Give yourself permission to start small, listen to your body, and celebrate every victory along the way. Small steps added up over time lead to powerful results. I can’t wait to hear how this routine works for you while I’m away on the trails. Enjoy!

UPGRADING TOGETHER
Building a Safer, Brighter Swimming Space BY: MADDY TAYLOR
Exciting upgrades are right around the corner! To ensure our facility remains in top shape for years to come, we are launching a comprehensive renovation of our pool area. While temporary closures are never easy, this project will address essential structural repairs while giving the space a fresh, modernized look. I have received so many questions about what we are doing and why, and I love your curiosity! Over time, natural wear and tear impacts every pool, making resurfacing a standard maintenance milestone every 10 to 20 years. Currently, our pool has developed leaks that are escaping into the ground surrounding the pool. This issue requires immediate repairs to protect our facility’s long-term structure. Timing is critical for this work: pool construction requires low groundwater levels to safely drain and resurface the shell without the risk of hydrostatic pressure lifting the pool. While the pool is drained, we are taking full advantage of the closure to install new lighting, fresh tile, and new paint. hello@healthsport.com

UPGRADING TOGETHER Building a Safer, Brighter Swimming Space
Our six-week timeline is carefully structured to ensure quality and safety. During Week 1, the pool will be completely drained so tile demolition can begin. Week 2 will focus on surface demolition, prepping the concrete shell, and applying a bond coat for proper plaster adhesion. Week 3 serves as a mid-point inspection and a built-in buffer for any extra structural repairs uncovered during prep. In Week 4, the new interior surface will be applied and finished. Week 5 brings the final inspection; once passed, the refilling process begins. Finally, Week 6 will be dedicated to balancing water chemistry, running filtration and heating systems, and conducting final safety testing. hello@healthsport.com
To ensure the safety of our members, direct access to the outdoor pool deck, swimming pool, hot tub, pool restrooms, and poolside showers will be fully closed during construction. However, our main locker rooms, locker room showers, saunas, steam rooms, and the rest of the facility will remain fully open for your use. We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we undertake these vital improvements. This project is a direct investment in the longevity and beauty of our club. We cannot wait for you to dive back in! Please reach out to our front desk team with any questions!
