November/December, 2013

                  

Whew….here we are at the end of another year. It is an exciting time for The Ranch
as the expansion is under way. Once the expansion is complete, sometime after the New Year, we will increase the number of available fitness classes, offering new and exciting programming as well. Stay tuned for updates as we near completion of
this project.

The end of the year can by a chaotic time with lots of things to do, people to see and places to go. As difficult as it may seem to fit everything in, don’t forget to take care
of YOU! With all of the holidays and festivities it’s easy to overeat and place your personal workout routine at the bottom of the priority list. If you make time for yourself during this rushed and hectic time, it will be that much easier to be ahead to the curve going into the New Year, rather than behind. Consistency is the primary key to all goals related to health and fitness. Commit to your program as much as you can. If you can exercise just once a week, you will have more strength and energy to keep up with the season and go into 2014 with confidence. Have a plan and a goal. You can
do it!

Fitness Program Expansion

We are very excited about the new fitness opportunities that will accompany The Ranch Fitness Center and Spa’s expansion. The expansion will include two new group fitness rooms: a functional training room and a mind-body studio. Here’s a glimpse at some of the new workouts and wellness programs coming your way.

The functional training room will be well equipped with kettle bells, free weights, speed ropes, a heavy rope and BOSU balance trainers, all of which will provide new challenges for resistance and interval training. This room will expand options for athletic conditioning, small group training and new classes. An exciting new feature of the functional training room is the addition of suspension training. Suspension training is a simple ‘dumbbell free’ workout that uses straps attached to an overhead point which incorporates your own body weight as the resistance. With suspension training, every exercise becomes a total body challenge! It blasts the core and other stabilizing muscles in addition to the prime moves.

Our new mind-body studio will provide the perfect environment for an enriched wellness experience. Mind-body classes have become increasingly popular and important in the wake of busy, hectic lifestyles. This new studio welcomes all to engage in programming that unites body and mind, releasing stress and restoring energy. We will be expanding the scope of our Tai Chi and Yoga classes, as well as adding new classes such as Yoga Nidra (meditative Yoga) and Pilates.

Spa Attendants

The Ranch Fitness Center & Spa focuses on ensuring quality guest service. In order
to provide the finest personal service for our members and guests it takes a team.
We would like to introduce a critical part of our team, our Spa Attendants, and the
vital services they provide. Our Spa Attendants welcome our spa guests for all spa services and escort them to our locker rooms. They then tour the guest in the locker room, explaining use of the lockers, sauna, steam room and other amenities.
They provide our guests with a towel, robe and slippers as well as access to the whisper lounge.

In addition, the Spa Attendants ensure that all our Ranch Fitness Center & Spa amenities are well maintained and stocked for our members and guests. They keep
our water pitchers filled; they keep bath towels and fitness towels cycling through our laundry and facility ready for use for all our members and guests throughout the day. Without our Spa Attendants we would not be able to give our members and guests
“Five Star” treatment and exceed their expectations. We want to recognize our Spa Attendants for all that they do as a valued part of our team.
