Member SPOTlight!
Frank Cahill
Frank Cahill, age 12 ½, has been a
member at Greenwood Athletic and
Tennis Club since he was four years
old and is a charter member of
XRKade®. His typical winter workout
at GATC goes like this: climbing on the
Treadwall, joining the cycling tour on
the Expresso bike, snowboarding on
the XR board, slamming the Makoto and dancing till he
drops on Dance Dance Revolution - all in an hour and a
half. He is a 6th grader at Ave Maria Catholic School and
enjoys reading, playing the violin, boy scouts and coming
to the club with his mom Jill, dad Michael and sister Noelle.
Franks favorite part about coming to GATC are the pools and
the pool float in the summer and XRKade® in the winter.
“XRKade® is a fun, interactive place to hang out with
people and work out. The coaches are also fun and
motivating”, says Frank. He is motivated to come to
XRKade® because it’s dark, fun to be in and he loves Dance
Dance Revolution and the Wii.
Since XRKade® opened last summer Frank has participated
in the Mile High Club. This challenge offers kids an
opportunity to earn prizes for working out. After each mile
they receive a sticker, after five miles they receive a reward
and after 20 miles they receive a prize. It’s a great way to
keep moving. In the month of October, Frank completed 80
miles! Frank said, “The Mile High score card makes me work
harder and gives me an incentive for working out.”
Come meet Frank in XRKade® if you want to “work hard and
add fun to your life.” Thank you to Frank and his family for
their dedication and passion for Greenwood and for
choosing XRKade® as their place to play!

P-Note
MEMBERSHIP SALES VS. USAGE
I realize this message is arriving mid-March and our beginning of the
year usage is starting to drop a bit already, but I still believe the
information is important and worth sharing. Obviously, you all know
how important membership sales are to a health club. They are the
bread and butter of the business and without memberships we would
cease to exist. We set membership goals each month, assign goals
to our Membership Representatives and promote and advertise to
meet and exceed those goals. We also look at our monthly resigns,
find out why members are leaving, attempt to save them and
calculate the sales vs. resigns in hopes of achieving a net increase
in memberships. This system is the foundation of every health club
in the fitness industry and is not unique to Greenwood. The
difference between GATC and other clubs lies in the numbers!
Typically, health club sales and usage increase during January and
February and in most clubs, the increases are substantial. GATC is
not your typical club and is probably one of the many reasons you
choose to be a member. Our sales are fairly consistent month-tomonth and the increase in January is minimal. That said, I want to
share a statistic with you:

This table shows a history of our average usage by day of the week
for the past three years. It also shows a comparison of end of the
year membership numbers. As you can see we have increased our
usage and decreased our total membership. 2007 was a banner year
for our world economy, for the club and I am sure for many of you.
Our sales were high, but our usage was lower. Now, we have slightly
fewer members but our usage is high and for point of reference,
January, 2010 Monday and Tuesday usage numbers have been 1800+.
So, when you come to the club, find it more challenging to get a
good parking spot, find your group exercise classes are full and the
pool and weight room are packed…you know why! We have a very
fit population of members who pay the appropriate fees to belong
to the premiere athletic and tennis club in the area and use it!
4
GATC never has been, and never will be, a “hard sell” club. We want
positive membership growth but that growth will not negatively
impact our ability to serve each and every one of you at the level
you have all come to expect from GATC. Many of our competitors’
sales philosophies are harder and their membership goals are higher,
to the extent of selling as many as 10,000 memberships in a facility
that is virtually the same size as Greenwood (3556 memberships in
comparison.) That particular philosophy may work in some facilities
but it does not allow us to fulfill our commitment to you and provide
you with the best exercise experience possible. Greenwood is your
partner in health and in order for you to see results you must use the
club! So, if you are one of the thousands of members frequenting
GATC on a daily basis, my hat is off to you and we salute you for your
commitment. If you haven’t been here lately, you’ll be hearing from
us! Please know, if you ever have any questions about our business
philosophy, our operation or anything else; do not hesitate to
contact me. I look forward to seeing you at the club!

great for non-family friends. Please remember that Greenwood’s
policy limits guest visits to three per month per person, so you’ll be
able to invite many different friends. Valid May 1 through September

FITNESS TRENDS FOR 2010
First, I would like to thank the Greenwood group exercise team and
our members for making the Winter Group Exercise Event a success!
It rocked and exposed us to different ways to work our minds and
bodies. Even the “Learn to RIDE Indoors” feedback was huge because
it solidified the need for this type of program in order to relieve the
intimidation factor of trying a class for the first time.
Ironically, I came across an article from the American Council on
Exercise (ACE) entitled, Top Fitness Trends for 2010.
Here are some of the highlights:
• Exergaming: an interesting one for game lovers to add variety to
their workouts. Try XRKade® here at GATC
• Functional training: willPower & grace® is a perfect example
• Specialty exercise training classes; Zumba® and mind and body
awareness classes: Greenwood will be hosting more mind/body
workshops in 2010
• Express workouts: Ab Lab, EnergyZone®, CycleZone® and a Cardio
45 Workout class that fits in this category
• Aging Adults: recognize the need for regular exercise to improve
overall wellbeing
• Small group training for those on tight budgets: please contact the
personal training department for more information on small group
training
• Health and fitness awareness to fight inactivity and obesity
• Proper professional credentials
As you can see, it is important that the Greenwood staff stay on top
of what is current and relative. I am not a fad chaser, but am
certainly open to ideas and programs that are worth looking into to
enhance group exercise experiences at Greenwood Athletic and
Tennis Club.

STRAP YOURSELF IN TO FITNESS!
Our Pulse cover features one of the newest and most innovative tools
to hit the fitness field in the last few years. The TRX Fitness
Anywhere system allows you to use your body weight, or a portion
of that weight, to perform exercises. Any exercise from a partial body
weight pull-up to a suspended crunch can be done on the TRX, but
the best part about it is that the system is portable and can be
anchored in any closed door. This allows the user to be consistent
in their workouts even when traveling. With some prior education,
the TRX can be integrated into any workout program and can be
done at any fitness level. It also creates a distinct mind body
connection because of the instability it provides. The user must be
in tune with their body to perform exercises correctly.
Besides its portability, the TRX is unique because it requires core
strength. Many training methods target your core with exercises but
each exercise on the TRX demands the core be involved. It relies on
either feet or hands in the straps and the opposite touching the
floor. The training effect is then elevated because of the instability
of the straps.
Anyone can do TRX because it uses a portion of your own personal
body weight. By suspending part of your body in the straps, it
becomes easier to perform certain movements, making this a
fantastic functional training device for everyone, from kids to the
mature adult.
Although strength is the main benefit you gain from using the
system, by linking exercises together you can also receive a
cardiovascular workout. Since the only adjustments on the TRX are
the strap lengths, you can perform several exercises sequentially
without the need for stopping to adjust a machine or weight. TRX
is a time efficient workout that hits many areas of fitness.

In short, the TRX is another great tool to add to your workout
repertoire. Please see one of the following trainers for more
information on the TRX:

TRX SMALL GROUP TRAINING CLASSES
These ongoing small group personal training classes (maximum of six
people) will teach you how to get the most out of the TRX and
provide you with a fantastic workout. Personal trainers will show
you how to use the system to achieve the results you want.

MAKE OVER YOUR BODY WITH THE MAT
One of my favorite, most
challenging workouts is the
Pilates mat. The mat, the
foundation of Pilates strength,
is most important. It has been
said that “mat is the method.”
While the routine is very
challenging at every level, when
done correctly with precision
and flow, you leave the mat
feeling like a million bucks! We
know the work is good because
it has stood the test of time. A
little history: the mat form of
Pilates was developed first. It
has been said that during the influenza outbreak in 1918, the
prisoners of WWI who practiced the mat work, taught by Joseph
Pilates while he interned, did not get sick. We now know that
exercise stimulates white blood cell development and years ago,
before science proved it, Joseph Pilates believed circulation was the
key to health. The book Return to Life through Contrology is the only
historical document indicating the order and sequence of the mat.
All of the equipment Pilates developed came after the development
of the floor work and is utilized in various ways, particularly
for building strength and assisting in precisely and beautifully
performing “the mat”. Pilates started his work on the floor (with the
hundred) because he didn’t want to put undue strain and
stress on the heart or the joints of the body. He finished the floor
routine with push-ups and/or wall exercises on your feet, so you
would embody the work upright as you carry on with your day.
Matwork is harder because the mat exercises are un-assisted and
open-chain. They require all of your control against the force of
gravity. The mat and reformer compliment one another; one helps
PROGRESS the other.
In 1923 Joseph and Clara opened the first Pilates studio in New York,
teaching to dance luminaries such as Martha Graham and Jerome
Robbins. A handful of his students (the elders) carried on his
teachings and have influenced others in turn to teach the Pilates
way. Joseph Pilates taught until his death in 1967. Clara continued
to run the studio until just before her death in 1977.
Because Pilates and Pilates mat are generic terms, exercises
proclaiming to be Pilates are in fact nothing more than individual
exercises; not the beautifully balanced sequence seen in the actual
mat that Joseph Pilates developed. The exercises are sequenced in
a specific way where the body flexes, extends, laterally bends and
rotates to create a uniformly developed body. We are proud to offer
our mat classes at Greenwood complimentary with your membership.
We offer 10 complimentary mat classes each week at different times
in the day, so that you can attend one of our fabulous mat classes,
from the hundred to the push ups.

ADULTS: DON’T JUST DIP YOUR TOE IN, JUMP IN
WITH BOTH FEET!
When most people think of the pools they think of splashing kids,
swim teams, lazy summer days and water aerobics. But our pools
encompass much more than that, especially for anyone over 18 who
is interested in fitness, fun and the best choice for an overall
workout because it includes cardio, strength, balance and
conditioning. Exercising in the pool can be beneficial for ALL!
You’re never too old to blow bubble rings! If the thought of submerging
yourself in water makes your
chest tighten and your heart
race, our skilled and experienced
instructors can work with you in
a private setting to overcome
that panic. Just ask Carol Storey
who “used to look down on the
indoor pool from my perch on a
treadmill and watch with fear as
swimmers gracefully swam back and forth.” Carol wanted to learn to
swim so she began “diving for a rock on the bottom of the pool’
with Cama Jo Totura in private lessons in April 2008.
Our adult group classes will build on your new comfort level and get
you swimming. Whether it’s basic stroke technique in the beginning
class or moving onto laps in the intermediate class, swimming can
become a great addition to your fitness routine and you can start
seeing that ‘swimmer body’ in the mirror.
Our Masters team welcomes fitness swimmers as well as competitive
adults. Once you can swim 300 meters without stopping and have
been introduced to strokes other than freestyle, Masters provides a
fantastic interval workout. We have Masters beginners, World Record
Holders and all levels in between. For swimmers who want to
conquer their stroke technique we offer underwater video analysis to
ensure efficient mechanics.
Adults of any age or fitness level can benefit from vertical water
fitness too. Our challenging water aerobics classes can be much
harder than you’d think. You’re guaranteed to work up a great sweat
from mogul jumps through the thick viscosity of the water. Water
walking and deep water running are also deceivingly hard: imagine
trying to run through mud and you can get a sense of how intense
it can be. Look for Aqua Personal Training options in the near future
as well.
Even those with health, wellness or injury concerns can benefit from
either vertical or horizontal pool time. Asthmatics swim to enhance
their lung capacity, joint pain sufferers avoid the high impact of
land and autistics thrive in the muted underwater environment. Mike
Burrow has lost 125 lbs. and counting from walking in our pool!
Jessica Reinhardt is using deep water running as an addition to her
marathon training to avoid further overuse injuries. And remember
Carol Storey who had “fear, yes, gut wrenching fear” of the water?
She is now training for her first triathlon and still has the rock
she dove for as, “it reminds me of how proud I am of my
accomplishments.”

Greenwood Tiger Sharks
GREENWOOD TIGER SHARKS
Those of you who use the pool may have noticed all the young swimmers, both
inside and outside, training almost daily. What may not be so obvious is how
dedicated these young athletes must be to become better and faster swimmers.
Our 10 & Under swimmers train two to four times a week while also participating
in other sports like basketball, soccer, tennis, karate and lacrosse. The 11 &
Over swimmers practice up to six times a week with many of them making the
effort to wake up at 4:30 in the morning for a 75 minute practice, go to school
and then come back in the afternoon for another two hours in the water! By this
point, most have committed to swimming as their sport of choice, but may still
play an instrument or go to youth group functions. Of course, all of our
swimmers must continue to study hard and maintain their grades at school.
This is not all they do - let’s not forget the three days a week they spend doing
dry-land training. Monday, Wednesday and Friday all of the 10-14 year olds
spend 45 minutes working outside of the water as part of the Performance
Academy with trainers Brandon Smith and Paul Chavez.
In addition to the time spent at practice, there are meet attendance
requirements, which differ from group to group. USA Swimming meets are not
just Saturday mornings like summer league meets, but are generally Friday,
Saturday and Sunday. Many of our swimmers compete all three days and in one
or more meets a month. Meets tend to be the most fun part of swimming, where
you get to hang out with your friends and not just in the water, showing their
dedication, not only to the sport, but to Greenwood.
With all of this time spent together, their teammates may be among their closest
friends and the bond created with the team and coaches is hard to duplicate.
Youth groups, instruments, other sports, family, friends; the list goes on and on
and yet the athletes on the Greenwood Tiger Sharks dedicate themselves above
and beyond. Nothing wrong with saying it again. This really is a dedicated group
of young athletes – and families!

Head Age Group Coach Nick Levine [email protected]
Participation as a Tiger Shark requires club membership and monthly team dues.

STOP AND SMELL THE ROSES
Being members of Greenwood definitely has its perks. We have the best
equipment, the best classes and the best employees. When you have the
best, it’s easy to take certain things for granted. There have been
countless times I have walked by the same poster or flyer and not even
noticed it was there. With our busy lives, it is easy to get tunnel vision.
Lucky for us, our club does an amazing job of providing informational
programs to our members at little or no extra cost. We also run many
new programs each month that are structured to be cost efficient. Our
current programs include:
• Ask the Expert-a complimentary series where, once a month, we
hold a seminar on topics relating to health and fitness
• Basketball Circuit-a complimentary class offered to those interested
in improving their skills on the basketball court
• Strengthen and Lengthen-interested in doing personal training and
Pilates? Get the best of both in this program that includes 30
minutes of weights and 30 minutes of Pilates for $20 per class! No
experience required
• Adult Beginner Tennis Program-introductory level 1 class for nonTennis Club members. Four hours for only $30
This month, I challenge you to become more aware of what’s happening
at Greenwood. Read the FYI, The Pulse and check out the flyer board for
program options. There are always new things happening and, often
times, they are at a reduced cost or even at no cost to you. We know
how much you contribute to the club, so let us help you get the most
out of your membership!

MULTI-SPORT EVENTS
What does multi-sport mean?
Essentially, anything that combines multiple disciplines into one
event. The most popular would be triathlon (swim/bike/run) and
duathlon (run/bike/run.)
What are the distances of triathlon races?
Sprint-typically ½ mile swim/13 mile bike/3.1 mile run
Olympic-1.5K swim/40K bike/10K run
Long course/70.3/half ironman-1.2 mile swim/56 mile
bike/13.1 mile run
Ironman (trademark of the World Triathlon Corporation)-2.4 mile
swim/112 mile bike/26.2 mile run
A Triathlon race can vary in total time from one hour to 17 hours.
Regardless of the time, anyone who finishes any distance triathlon
is considered a triathlete!
Why Triathlon?
It is a lifestyle sport. You train hard to be able to participate
giving you great overall fitness. You eat better. You get a better
night’s sleep. You wake up in the morning more refreshed and
ready to do it all over again. It is a lot of fun to get outside, the
way you did as a child, to swim, bike and run with friends. Once
you have completed a multi-sport event you will feel “the glow”
and your confidence will soar.
How do I train for a triathlon?
Even though triathlon is a three sport event, there are five areas
to train in order to be successful:
Swim: 2-4 times per week
Bike: 2-4 times per week
Run: 2-3 times per week
Transition (aka “T1” and “T2”): 1-2 times per week. A transition
workout, referred to as a brick workout, involves going from one
discipline, directly into the next. The brick workout allows you to
practice the change of shoes, differences in muscle activation and
the mental shift of changing from one sport to the next.
Nutrition: Food = Energy = Power. Nutrition is critical to both the
triathlon lifestyle and being ready for race day. The key is to have
sufficient energy through your training and your event. Race day
is not the day to try something new. You have to practice fueling
as you would practice your swim stroke.
As with any sport, there are many different training philosophies
in triathlon. We believe in recovery-based training, which
typically allows for one or two days off per week. Our periodized
training plan usually builds in three week blocks with the forth
week being recovery. This cycle repeats through the base and build
phase of training to allow for quality work and sufficient recovery.
Why train with a group and a coach?
Motivation, Inspiration, and Accountability: all of which come
from training with a group
Injury prevention: having someone put together your workout
plan helps prevent injury
Focus: keeps you focused on your goals
It’s Fun!

MEMBERSHIP Q & A
This is the second column of
frequently asked questions regarding
your membership. The first issue
featured guest passes and guest
usage. This issue addresses prepaying
your annual membership dues.
What benefit do I receive for prepaying annual
membership dues?
You will receive 10% off the current membership dues rate.
Are there any restrictions on which membership type
is eligible for the 10% prepay discount?
All membership types may prepay. The 10% reduction of dues
excludes Associate and Young Professional athletic club memberships
as well as tennis club Junior and Junior Pair memberships. Other
exclusions may exist with special memberships (i.e., nanny, nonresident, etc.), please see the business office if you have a question.
Will I get my money back on prepaid membership
dues if I move during the year?
All prepaid memberships are non-refundable and non-transferable.
18
At what time of the year may I prepay my annual
membership dues?
Prepays are accepted at any time of the year and are good for the
following 12 months. It is important to note any dues increase
(usually occurs January 1) and prepay prior to the increase, thereby
securing the current rate (plus 10% reduction) vs. the increased rate.
