Member SPOTlight!
Donna Foster
Donna Foster has been a member
since August 2003. She spends her
time at GATC doing Pilates, cardio,
and lifting weights. Donna lives in
Castle Pines and works with her
husband David, also a Greenwood
member, as a Regional Sales manager
for English Bay Batter (cookie dough sales). English Bay
provides cookie dough for Royal Crest Dairy, Shamrock Foods
etc. Donna has a daughter, Mallory who is a senior at the
University of Arizona.
Donna has been exercising regularly for 11 years. She began
doing Pilates to rehab her knee and found Pilates more
beneficial than “traditional” Physical Therapy. For Donna,
Pilates “works quickly and builds lasting strength. You can do
this work out until you are 90 years old! It’s fun and the
challenges keep on coming.”
In her spare time, Donna enjoys all sporting events: football
and basketball are her favorite. She and her husband hold
season tickets to the Bronco games.
Donna has been a regular in the GATC Pilates studio for many
years now. She chooses the Greenwood studio because of the
instructors’ level of expertise, the classes offered (at all times
of the day) and the variety and expansive pieces of Pilates
equipment. Donna appreciates how much the Greenwood
instructors re-invest in their continuing education.
A sample week of working out with Donna:
Monday: Pilates mat class and cardio on the elliptical for 30
minutes
Tuesday: Pilates reformer class and 30 minutes cardio on the
elliptical
Wednesday: Pilates mat class and weight lifting with Brandon
Thursday: Tower class with Mary, followed by cardio
Friday: Reformer class with Sara and a chair class with
Stephanie
Saturday: A tower class with Ann and cardio
Sunday is her day of rest.
Donna takes from four different Pilates instructors and says
she gains a different experience from each: “Stephanie will
blast your abs, Mary is the queen of props and takes the pain
from my body, Sara is the fitness queen, making Pilates a more
aerobic workout, and Ann has a wealth of knowledge and
brings attention to details that you would never think about
on your own.”
Donna has chosen Greenwood as her club because “the staff is
extremely professional. Greenwood is clean and offers the most
up to date equipment and programs in the marketplace while
doing it in a friendly atmosphere”.

P-Note
CHOICES AND SACRIFICES...
One evening during dinner with friends we started a conversation
about the sacrifices and choices we make in our lives. Some of my
friends are single, some married, some are stay at home mothers and
some are working mothers. Regardless of marital or work status, we
all still have to make choices and sacrifices for the things we want
in life. During these challenging economic times it seems like we
are having to make even more choices and more sacrifices and truly
look at what we can cut from our lives, how we can be more
productive with our time and how we can make a dollar stretch to
something more without giving up the things in life that we really
enjoy. In talking with numerous members at the club over the past
few months, we seem to be embarking on the same conversation,
“our family is streamlining, we are pulling back on some of the
extras, and my husband/wife is looking for new employment”.
Realizing that we are in an economic crunch, it is the mandate of
Greenwood Athletic and Tennis Club to assist you in relieving the
stress and negative energy from your life and provide you with the
best exercise experience possible.
I read an article recently which stated that one-third of Americans
say the economy is affecting their health and has changed the way
they take care of themselves. Of the people surveyed, 55 percent
report taking better care of their health by exercising, eating
healthier or getting regular check-ups and screenings. The survey
underscores that people already make the link between health and
economic well-being, with most agreeing that healthy behaviors,
such as exercise and eating right, can lead to a better and more
prosperous life. Ninety-three percent say such behaviors would help
them enjoy life more and improve their energy, while 91 percent say
these behaviors would help them live longer, and 85 percent say
healthy living would help them take better care of their families. In
addition, nearly two-thirds of the people surveyed say exercise and
healthy eating would help them save money in the long run.
Survey conducted by CIGNA
We are your partners in health! You have made the commitment and
investment in your health by becoming a member of Greenwood
Athletic and Tennis Club and you have my guarantee that we will
fulfill our end of the relationship by continuing to provide you with
premiere health and fitness facilities, exceptional programs and
services, and professional staff who focus on members first.
I look forward to seeing you in the club in 2009!
NUTRITION RESOLUTION SOLUTIONS
and veggies are naturally low in calories.
By member Angela B. Moore, M.S.,R.D.,LD/N, CLT
Try these tips for adding more fruits and vegetables to your diet:
• Toss chopped or shredded zucchini or summer squash to
marinara and pasta for a fiber boost.
• Stir veggies in your omelet or scrambled eggs, or make a quiche
with asparagus, spinach and mushrooms.
• Start your meals with a salad or vegetable soup.
• Choose appetizers like low-fat spinach dip or hummus with
carrots and celery. Stock up on "munchable"veggies for snacks.
• Pep up your pizza with veggies and extra sauce.
• Add salsa to baked potatoes, rice, chicken, sandwiches, eggs and
tacos. Salsa, made mostly of tomatoes, is high in lycopene.
• Top chicken, turkey or fish with sun dried tomatoes or roasted
red peppers.
• Add chopped spinach or carrots and onion to meat loafs or
burgers.
• Slip veggies into all your casserole dishes even if it doesn't call
for them.
• Add shredded carrots or zucchini to tuna and chicken salad.
If making diet resolutions is part of your approach to the New Year,
why not focus on healthy eating habits this time, rather than losing
weight on some “fad diet”. One way to improve your health and start
the New Year off on the right foot, is to try eating a diet rich in
colorful fruits and vegetables. In fact, did you know that only about
25% of Americans consume the minimum of five servings of fruits
and/or vegetables each day?
The potential benefits associated with eating more fruits and
vegetables add up quickly. Fruits and vegetables are high in
vitamins, minerals, fiber, anti-oxidants and phytochemicals.
Research has found that eating plenty of fruits and veggies may help
reduce the risk of many diseases, including heart disease, high blood
pressure and some cancers. The most important thing about fruits
and veggies is that they taste great….
They are extremely versatile because they are good both raw and
cooked, and add color and texture to your plate. Fruits and
vegetables are nutritious in any form-fresh, frozen, canned, dried
and 100% juice. Fruits and veggies provide fiber that helps fill you
up and keeps your digestive system regular and happy! Also, fruits

In a nutshell, when you are considering the choices and sacrifices
you need to make, your health and the health and well-being of your
family is not an option! There are so many studies that have been
conducted about the benefits of exercise. As members of Greenwood
Athletic and Tennis Club, you are all well aware of those benefits
and understand how exercise can positively impact your life.
Greenwood is, has and always will be the premiere athletic and
tennis club in the Denver metropolitan area. Given that, we strive
each and every day to fulfill our vision and insure that GATC is “The
Best Part of Your Day®”! Back in November there was an article
published in the Denver Post discussing health clubs in the area and
how many of them were discounting, packaging annual fees and
offering two-for-ones to entice people to join their club. As a rule
of thumb and as our commitment to you as loyal and long-term
members of GATC, we have not and will never discount memberships
to gain more members. We take pride in the fact that every member
of our club has paid the same fees to join Greenwood Athletic and
Tennis Club and as our mission states “we offer fair and consistent
business practices” across our entire membership. We realize this
business practice may offer an edge to our competition, but at the
same time, we believe that we owe it to you, our long-term
members, to stay true to who we are and what we offer.
• Pile avacado, tomato and onion on burritos and tacos.

PILATES CONDITIONING FOR THE WINTER MONTHS
Winter has arrived!
Downhill skiing and snowboarding require specific preparations and
conditioning routines to ensure safe winter fun. Strength, flexibility,
endurance and skill exercises for skiers and boarders are essential
for both recreational and expert skiers. Some skiers participate in
other sports during the off season to stay in shape, but many are
weekend warriors. No matter where you fit, you could wind up with
minor aches, pains or a serious injury if you don't spend a little time
preparing. You would never run a marathon without proper training
and preparation; yet people are often willing to spend up to six
hours a day on skis or boards after taking months off. Get in snowshape before you go...arrive with the muscles all firing and ready to
progress rather then spending your first week or ten days on the
slopes getting back into snow-shape.
Pilates can help you prepare. Pilates exercises focus on core
strength, balance and co-ordination, along with snow-sport specific
muscle strength and flexibility. With all this, comes greater body
awareness, which is the real key to performance in a high skill sport
such as skiing or boarding. Take a private lesson or any mat or
equipment based class at Greenwood to see how Pilates will help
strengthen your core for a pain-free, injury-free winter sport season.
AT GREENWOOD ATHLETIC AND TENNIS CLUB
Invite your friend to purchase an intro pack
and receive your next private lesson at
20% off
*Expires March 31, 2009. Good for first time clients and private session only.
A few Pilates exercises for you to try:
Star: Start on hands and knees with hands
directly under shoulders and knees directly
under hips (keep knees hip-width apart). Lift
the right leg behind you and then when you
feel balanced, lift the right arm towards the
ceiling as you open up in the hips so that both
shoulders and both hips are facing the front of
the room. Slowly lower the arm and leg so that they touch at the
same time. Repeat on the other side. Complete five repetitions on
each side, hold each repetition for several seconds.
Leg Pull (Plank): Start on hands and knees and walk feet out until
the body is in a full press up position. Maintain this position by
drawing the navel in and up towards the spine and the shoulder
blades down the back. While holding this position, lift the right leg
slightly off the ground reaching it long as opposed to up. Exhale as
you lift the leg and inhale as you lower it. Repeat with the other leg.
5-10 repetitions on each side.
Spine Twist: Start seated with legs apart in a V-shape. Sit as tall as
you can, keeping the pelvis at neutral (if you cannot sit without
slouching, try bending the knees or
sitting on a cushion). With the arms
reaching out to the sides of the
room and shoulders pulled away
from the ears, inhale to prepare. As
you exhale, turn the chest to the
right as far as you can go. Inhale as
you return to the center and exhale
as you turn to the left. Repeat 4-5
times on both sides.

CAN’T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG?
In a world full of choices, a list of endless options can be paralyzing.
In the world of health and wellness, sorting through the mounds of
theories and different approaches to getting and staying fit can be
exhausting.
Even here, within the walls of our very own Greenwood Athletic and
Tennis Club, we have a myriad of fitness options to help you reach
your goals. It is very common for people to gravitate towards one
modality of fitness and stay there. When we keep doing the same
form of exercise without introducing the body to different types of
challenges, we can often experience a “plateau,” where the body
adapts to the current form of exercise, and results become more
difficult to achieve.
The trick is to consistently shock the body, and GATC offers plenty
of programming to help you do just that. Pilates instructor, Ann
Daxberger is a perfect example of someone who utilized the
resources available to her, tried something new, and reaped the
benefits of cross-training.
Ann added BodyPump®, a 55
minute weight training to music
class, to her workout regime in
January of 2008. She committed to
the class three times per week in
addition to her existing program of
regular Pilates, yoga and cardio
training on the Gauntlet. She lost
10 pounds in less than eight weeks and immediately saw more
definition in her arms and backside. Ann’s workouts are now more
well-rounded and she credits the addition of BodyPump® as a major
contributor to her current fitness level. “I really don't like to lift
weights,” Ann says. “After one set of 15 I don't feel like doing any
more, so BodyPump® works perfectly for me.”
Ann’s advice to new members or those who would like to see greater
results? “Try new things so that your body isn't just doing the same
thing all the time. Switch things up so your body sees changes. It
is also good mentally. I think we just do what feels familiar. If you
just add one new thing that is totally different, you may be surprised
how much you like it.”
GATC offers more than
115
complimentary
group exercise classes
per week. We have two
beautiful
25-meter
pools, a cutting edge
Pilates studio, the
most qualified and
diverse personal trainers in the business, a vibration plate, a
basketball court, year-round Boot Camps, and some of the most
popular yoga instructors in the Denver Metropolitan area. Try
something new, you and your body just might like it.

CALLING ALL WATER WARRIORS
Think aquatics are only for kids, water aerobics and lap swimmers?
Think again! Try our Water Warrior Workout and see how powerful the

We would also like to welcome our new Head Age Group Coach, Nick Levine.
Nick comes to GTS with a lot of experience on deck, as well as in the pool and
open water. He has tremendous enthusiasm for swimming and says that while
the sport is hard, it is also fun and builds character in the athletes.
If you would like to be a part of the excitement, the swim team conducts tryouts on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 3:00–4:00pm throughout the
year. We offer a two week trial to anyone who is interested in giving the team
a try. During the winter, the oldest practice groups, National and Gold, train
outdoors while the younger groups, Silver, Bronze and Sharks, train indoors.
The coaching staff philosophy is:
• Promote high self-esteem, the value of hard work and good sportsmanship
• Provide the best possible instruction, training and competition for each
individual
• Motivate swimmers to achieve the most from their efforts – not by being the
best, but by trying their best
• Encourage swimmers to love the sport of swimming and embrace the sport as
a life-long activity
For practice times and more information, visit www.GreenwoodATC.com. You may
also download a copy of our team handbook.
Below is a letter received by our General Manager from a GTS parent…
Paula,
Our family have been members of GAC since 2002 and have always had a positive experience
with the club. However I do believe an exceptional transition has been made in the last
three years in the GTS swim program. Our daughter Katie has been swimming with GTS for
the past six years and we have experienced firsthand the transformation of the program
when Scott and Evan arrived. The attention, the team building, the care for the swimmers,
and the exceptional coaching has transformed our daughter from a half-hearted swimmer
to a state level competitor. I know your management team took some bold and controversial
moves when the coaching staff turnover occurred, and the team had to be rebuilt. But
those bold moves have paid off and GTS is on its way to becoming a formidable swim team
in the state and is being led by a world class coach in Scott Cummins.
Katie had one of her best moments, when as a freshman she qualified for the Varsity Swim
Team at Cherry Creek High School, I don’t believe that would have been possible without
the GTS Swim experience and in particular the coaching of Scott and Evan. Thank you from
both Cynthia and I as well as Katie.
Regards…Dave Mullen, Jr.

EVERYBODY NEEDS SOMEBODY SOMETIMES!
Have you ever watched a sporting event and wondered how those
athletes perform so well? Although most athletes are inherently
talented and physically gifted, there is usually a team of experts
helping that individual perform at peak levels. Take for example an
NFL quarterback. Not only does he have a head coach to direct and
coordinate his movements, he has a coach that reviews his throwing,
a strength and conditioning coach and a nutritionist. These athletes
have trained at a high level for years and know what they should do,
yet still have individuals to help them be their best.
The simple fact is, everyone needs help with certain things.
Someone who wants to get better at golf or tennis would get lessons
from a pro. A person who wants to learn to sky dive or scuba dive
takes lessons, yet when it comes to exercise, many people believe
they don’t need help. They think they can do everything on their
own. Even though people are disciplined enough to continuously
exercise, they may not have the knowledge to make the most of their
efforts. There are experts in every area of fitness who have insights
and knowledge that you can benefit from.
Besides motivation, adherence and encouragement, instructors give
direction. They are able to take you from your starting point to your
goal by using gradual progression. If progression is the key to
attaining your goals, trainers are the key holders. Developing a plan
can be as easy as meeting once a month or every other month, so
long as you are adhering to the plan.
FITNESS CHALLENGE ‘ 09
HAVE YOU REACHED YOUR POTENTIAL?

assessments by a panel of three judges and top three finalists will
win prizes.

CROSSFIT
"Forging Elite Fitness"
What is CrossFit?
CrossFit is a core strength and
conditioning program that uses
constantly varied, high intensity
functional movements. CrossFit it
not a specialized fitness program or
gym trend, but deliberate attempt
to deliver the totality of fitness to
the CrossFitter.
In CrossFit we look at fitness as physical competence in each of ten
recognized fitness domains: cardiovascular and respiratory
endurance, strength, stamina, flexibility, speed, power, agility,
accuracy, balance and coordination.
In CrossFit you are an athlete!
Is CrossFit For you?
Yes, your needs and those of elite athletes differ not by kind but by
degree. Increased fitness is important to everyone ranging from the
world’s most elite athletes to grandparents.
Plus, CrossFit will not have you in the gym for hours on end;
averaged out you can be in and out in 30 minutes. CrossFit is tough,
CrossFit will push you to your limits and sometimes beyond.
Do you have what it takes to play in the sport of fitness?

WHAT’S WRONG WITH AMERICAN TENNIS IS...
WHAT IS RIGHT ABOUT GREENWOOD!
By Theo Teryazos
When looking at the records of American players this year, most notably
in the Slams, the results have been poor at best. Besides this recent
Open, Roddick has failed to make it past the third round of a Grand
Slam this year. Blake’s Grand Slam record has been only slightly better,
making it to the quarters of the Australian Open (where he lost in
straights to a half-speed Federe.) Since that loss, he has failed to make
it past the third round at the French, Wimbledon or the US Open.
The top five men in the world at the moment (Nadal, Federer, Djokovic,
Ferrrer and Daveydenko) all grew up learning to play on clay. Thus, as
the game continues to move toward faster, more agile players, the
Americans are being left further and further behind. Every member at
Greenwood has an enormous advantage over most players in Colorado
and for that matter, the rest of the US., since our members (especially
the juniors) are learning to play on clay, they develop a more wellrounded and thoughtful game.
The reasoning behind this is quite simple. Clay forces you to learn tennis
the hard way by not offering up many free points. Clay court players
develop strategic thinking and patience that can be devoid in players
who only play on hard courts. Because you can’t hit winners as quickly
or as easily, it forces players to construct points by learning how to
open up opponents with a wider array of shots before finding that
finishing ball.
Clay also increases a player’s physical fitness and ability to move. As the
results in the professional ranks illustrate, it is far easier for clay
courters to adapt to hard courts or even grass than the other way
around. Clay is also much easier on the joints, keeping our members
not only physically stronger, but less apt to injure themselves.
With all these advantages, it’s no wonder Greenwood consistently fields
such strong USTA and Junior tennis teams. Greenwood is ahead of the
curve in developing all-around players who are more adept at competing
on all surfaces. Hopefully, the USTA will build more clay courts in the
States to give American juniors a fighting chance in this ever-evolving
sport. In the meantime, we here at Greenwood Athletic and Tennis Club
can enjoy all the advantages that clay has to offer.
THEO’S TENNIS TIP
Want a better volley? Concentrate on the ready position. Too often, I see
people waiting for the ball, up at the net with straight legs and the
racquet down by their side. The proper position should find the volleyer
with knees bent, weight slightly forward and the racquet out in front.
This will establish the solid foundation and good balance required for
a volley.
Remember, you have exactly half the amount of time to react to the
ball at the net than you do at the baseline, so it pays to be prepared.

THE IMPORTANCE OF GOOD TECHNIQUE
By Ryan Haith
Ever wonder why you’re wearing an elbow brace or rushing for a bag of
ice after a good hitting session? I could summarize that answer best by
stressing the importance of having good technique. Some may argue
that the game has fewer injuries today than ever due to conditioning
and strength programs. I would contend that although having a strong
core helps, proper technique is the key to keeping club players enjoying
tennis day in and day out without pain. Roger Federer excels because
of the amazing balance and timing that is based on a foundation of
perfect technique. You rarely hear of Federer pulling out of events due
to injury, whereas Andy Roddick is falling off the map due to injury.
Think back to the last time that you saw Roddick vs. Federer and ask
yourself who looked like they were working harder on the court. Roddick,
from the serve to his unreliable backhand, is putting in much more
energy than the seemingly effortless Roger Federer. From footwork to
racquet preparation, Roger Federer is hands down the smoothest tennis
player to ever play the game. I didn’t say he was the best, but the
smoothest, and it stems from good technique. Next time you watch
tennis, close your eyes and think of Jimmy Connors or John McEnroe and
the way they took the racquet straight back and low, versus Federer and
Nadal who take the racquet back more upright. This is allowing players
to hit the ball harder, with more spin and take more stress off your
shoulder, elbow, and wrist. If it has been a while since you have taken
a tennis lesson and you are looking for ways to increase performance or
decrease pain in your body, talk to one of your Greenwood Tennis Pros
and let them help you enjoy the benefits of good technique.

Greenwood Athletic and Tennis Club
303-770-2582 x320
As members of Greenwood Athletic and Tennis Club, we are
fortunate to belong to one of the leading health clubs in the
nation. With state of the art facilities and equipment, we are
armed with everything we need to be healthiest versions of
ourselves. For a novice exerciser, however, all the options
can become overwhelming and may make it tough to get
started. You may end up more confused than encouraged. You
have access to everything you need, it’s just a matter of
where to begin.
What types of exercise should I be doing?
Find something you enjoy doing. Whether it is boxing, pilates,
yoga, cycling, step, swimming, using a cardio machine, lifting
weights, etc. Find something that motivates and interests
you, then set a schedule for yourself. For example, if you find
that you enjoy Spinning classes, you might decide to Spin on
Mondays and Fridays. Look at the group exercise schedule to
see our list of classes. With 117 offered each week, something
will fit!
How many days a week should I work out?
For a beginning exerciser, two-three days a week is a good
start. Once you establish the habit of coming to the club, try
to add another day so that your workout is a combination of
cardiovascular exercise (training that puts stress on the cardio
respiratory system) two days a week and weight training, one
to two days a week.
How long should I spend doing cardio and weight training?
Start with 20-30 minutes. As you feel more comfortable, move
to 30-60 minutes. Group exercise classes make exercising a lot
easier because each class is anywhere from 45-60 minutes
and you have an instructor telling you what to do!
How do I know if I am working hard enough?
When you exercise, your goal should be to get your body to a
place where you have to open your mouth to breathe and can
speak but should not be able to carry on a conversation. This
is the only way your body will begin to make significant
changes. It is not easy, so finding a workout buddy, taking a
group exercise class or working with a personal trainer will
help push you to that level. Your body can do it, it’s your
mind that is stopping you. Once you push through that wall,
you can do anything!
