“Energy” is the word I look for in describing the club these days! Usage is up, the parking lot is full, weight room is buzzing with excitement, tennis courts are booked and lots of talk about new classes and programs. I am thrilled with the turnout for our Zumba, willpower & Grace, and BodyATTACK sampler classes. Be sure and look for new classes on the February group exercise schedule. In addition we have launched our new Greenwood Triathlon Team and have already received great feedback from our members. Greenwood is the place to be for triathlon training from beginner to advanced! The winter issue of The Pulse is in circulation and contains up-to-date information about all of our new programs and services. You can pick up a hard copy at the club or go to the News & FYI link for all the latest issues. Thank you to all of our members for your loyalty and dedication to GATC throughout the past year(s). We are your partner in health and look forward to the year ahead and helping you reach your goals. See you at the club! Paula Neubert, President/General Manager Greenwood Athletic & Tennis Club...
