Spring 2012 - JCC of Greater Rochester
Rochester’s Headquarters for Functional Fitness at the JCC! Cutting-Edge Classes, State-of-the-Art Equipment, Professional Staff We’ll have you “Training with Purpose!” Functional training involves movements that are specific — in terms of mechanics, coordination, and/or energetics — to your activities of daily living. Functional training is a way to train the whole body to get stronger, faster, and be more efficient and prepared to meet functional demands on our everyday lives. Life is three-dimensional, so we have to integrate movement patterns by training in all three planes. People reach, bend, lean, turn, twist, stoop, and change directions constantly. Imagine how many groceries you can lift with the strength you build from lifting kettlebells, how great your balance will be on the icy sidewalk after lunging with one foot in the TRX, how easily you could swing your child around after swinging a 100-foot rope, and how light that rock you pick up from your garden will feel after you have been flipping tractor tires! We take all the movements that make up your life to the extreme in our Functional Training Studio and cuttingedge Group Fitness classes to make all the hours spent outside the gym easier. We don’t just want you to have a great body . . . we want you to have a body that WORKS! Here’s what we have going on every week: FUNCTIONAL TRAINING STUDIO (FTS) Each month, we offer a special “Workout of the Month.” Our Certified Personal Trainers will be staffing the room at several convenient times each week to show you a killer workout using the equipment in the FTS. Each session will be the exact same workout for the entire month in order to give you plenty of time to really understand your technique. Hours will be posted outside the studio. The FTS is open for your personal use and during all open Fitness Center hours. Group Fitness Classes: FIVE Mondays and Thursdays, 4:30pm This class will give you a killer workout with a simple premise: complete five reps of five different exercises using different equipment and body weight. Each week will be a new challenge. KETTLEBELLS Tuesdays, 5:45pm Thursdays and Saturdays, 12:15pm Join us for dynamic training that delivers an intense, full-body workout in half the time of a traditional workout. This class uses dynamic movements incorporating kettlebells. Different weights and kettlebell styles are available. TRAIN RAW (ROPES ANYWHERE WORKOUT) Wednesdays, 5:45pm It’s fast, furious, and functional! Our newest class uses ropes of varying thickness, length, and weight. Swing, jump, and slam your way to a whole new level of fitness! HIGH-INTENSITY TRAINING Thursdays, 5:45pm This is a challenging class designed to wake up all your muscles. It includes intense circuit training using various tools, such as speed/agility ladder, super bands, TRX, sledge hammers, tractor tires, and more. Free to All JCC Members!

Please join us in congratulating the following employees who have been chosen by a staff recognition committee as Employees of the Month. Leslie Berkowitz Dave Pieramico Tammy Cohen Congratulations to the Employees of the Month! Tricia Pilato (November) In November, Tricia Pilato received the Employee of the Month award for implementing a paperless online system for payroll checks. Her efforts significantly reduced costs and Employees of the Month (l. to r.) Barb Conklin, permitted employees to access their Brian Dengler and Tricia Pilato own paycheck information and W-2 statements. This project resulted in the JCC becoming environmentally friendly. Brian Dengler (December) He is not the King of Rock and Roll, but he is the King of Pickleball! Brian Dengler did a fantastic job of starting the Pickleball program from nothing, organizing lunchtime open play, and administering the Pickleball league. He provided an excellent opportunity for members and non-members to compete in a friendly and fun environment. Brian encouraged non-members to join the JCC — and many ended up doing so. He did this all at very little cost, arranging for equipment to be obtained for free and finding a member to donate money for an additional net. Contact us at (585) 461–2000 Or online at jccrochester.org Barb Conklin (January) Barb Conklin has done an amazing job of leading her team through the transition from Go-Getters to Silver&Fit®. She has made every effort to work with staff, members, and health agencies to ensure that the transition is as painless as possible for members and the financial impact toward the JCC is optimal. Without Barb’s leadership and concerted effort, the change could have been devastating. To advertise in the JCC Magazine, call (585) 461–2000, ext. 258 Tricia, Brian, and Barb each received a $100 gift card and special parking spot for an entire month! Jewish Community Center of Greater Rochester 1200 Edgewood Avenue Rochester, NY 14618 4 A message from JCC Executive Director Leslie Berkowitz and JCC Associate Executive Directors Dave Pieramico and Tammy Cohen … JCC Magazine Camp Seneca Lake Campers Raise Money for Children in Need This past summer, the campers in C-1—boys entering 3rd and 4th grade—started a store to raise money for tzedakah (charity). They began by cleaning spare change. As leader Eli Curwin explained, “Everybody knows coins are dirty,” and he wanted to help people while keeping them healthy. The project soon expanded into a store that sold food and other small items, all donated by fellow campers and staff. By the end of the session the store boasted an unbelievable profit of $100.75 and had honored their “Employee of the Month,” Ezra ***, the cashier. When speaking about the project, Eli was quick to highlight the store as a team effort, and praised the generosity and support of his bunkmates and village. Eli is already making plans to expand next summer, including a vigorous advertising campaign. He hopes to raise $1000 by his senior camper summer. The group has decided to allocate the funds to support Rochester-area children in need. C-1’s initiative is reflective of a growing Camp Seneca Lake emphasis on tikun olam, the Jewish value of “repairing the world.” Just days before launching their store, C-1 campers participated in CSL’s third annual Tikun Olam Day. This full-day program provides campers with hands-on opportunities to make a difference. Past activities include painting a mural, making fleece blankets for sick infants, and helping puppy guide dogs learn how to behave in a group. CSL is proud to have helped inspire Eli’s initiative and looks forward to seeing great things from the entire C-1 gang. Physical Therapy at the JCC Will Keep You Moving “One of the most rewarding things about being a physical therapist is the opportunity to witness everyday positive strides to recovery,” said Joe Corriea, Physical Therapist at Jewish Senior Life’s Outpatient Rehabilitation satellite office located at the JCC. receive his physical therapy there, too. Steve went to visit the Outpatient Rehab Center and was impressed with the quality of the facility, gym, and equipment. Both Steve and Corinne were unaware that the Jewish Home also had an Outpatient Rehab satellite clinic at the JCC, right where Steve works and exercises. The convenience and reputation made choosing physical therapy at the JCC an easy decision. Steve works part-time at the JCC and is an active runner and cyclist. His girlfriend, Corinne Beach, is also an active athlete. Corinne had knee surgery in 2009 and again in 2010 on the other knee — and went to Outpatient Rehab at the Jewish Home of Rochester for intensive physical therapy, which resulted in a speedy recovery due to her dedication and the support from her physical therapist. Corinne highly recommended that Steve When Steve started physical therapy, he could not even lift his arm, and now he can raise his arm over his head. Today Steve exercises every day, teaches spinning at the JCC, and belongs to various running and cycling groups in Rochester. “Joe was very thorough and he’s a cool guy,” said Steve. Joe Corriea, Physical Therapist at the JCC satellite office, worked with Steve. Joe prescribed the use of bands, light weights, and TRX ropes, which are heavy and great for Physical Therapist Joe Corriea shoulder therapy, while incorporating both cardio and In August 2011, Steve Gilden works with patient Steve Gilden strength-building exercises at the same time.

He connection, and he was awesome to work with.” Steve was tried to grab at something without success and realized when additionally thankful that Joe provided him with exercises he turned to his right and attempted to lift his arm, he had no strength, was in unbelievable that he could also do at home. “Joe pain, and his arm lay lifeless at The convenience and reputation kept pushing me.

Rochester Children's Theatre and JCC present: CenterStage Shows Reprised by Area Theatres In 2010, JCC CenterStage was the first theatre in the United States to license the new Canadian musical, My Mother’s Lesbian Jewish Wiccan Wedding, and helped the authors to revise the show for the American market. The show was a record-breaking hit at the JCC in December 2010, selling out every seat to nearly every performance. After the success at CenterStage, the show has been since picked up by multiple regional theatres in the United States and Canada. This summer, the show returns to the area for a new production at the Merry-Go-Round Playhouse in Auburn, N.Y. JCC CenterStage has also been invited to revive The Lady With All The Answers, the acclaimed production about advice maven Ann Landers. Susan Hopkins will reprise her performance at the Bristol Valley Theatre for two performances on May 19 and 20. Both of these productions were directed by CenterStage Artistic Director Ralph Meranto. jccrochester.org And Then They Came for Me: Remembering the World of Anne Frank March 31 at 7:30 pm & April 1 at 2 pm Jewish Community Center JCC CenterStage $16/$14 for JCC Members For tickets call: 585-461-2000 www.jcccenterstage.org 15 PRINT WITH CONFIDENCE!
