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 

NUTRITION RESOLUTION SOLUTIONS 

By member Angela B. Moore, M.S.,R.D.,LD/N, CLT 

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. 

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! 

and veggies are naturally low in calories. 

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. 

• 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. 

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.

Greenwood Tiger Sharks 

GREENWOOD TIGER SHARKS 

The Greenwood Tiger Sharks (GTS), Greenwood Athletic and Tennis Club’s USA 

swim program, is in full swing training hard for the upcoming short course 

season. Many swimmers have already achieved qualifying times for the short 

course state championship meets which will be held this spring. The Senior and 

Silver State meet will be at University of Denver February 27-March 1, 2009 

and the 14 & Under State meet will be held at the EPIC pool in Fort Collins 

March 6-8, 2009. In addition, there are athletes training for the Western 

Sectional Meet March 11-15, 2009 in Federal Way, WA. The coaching staff is 

looking forward to achieving our goal of finishing in the top five at the 

state level. 

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. 

The bottom line is, train smart, have a plan and stick to the plan. 

Our personal trainers are here to help you develop that plan and 

assist you in being the best you can be. 

Welcome new GATC trainers: (top row) Brandon Smith, Christy Leimkuehler, Ken Washington, 

(bottom row) Briana Marshall and Jocelyn Palmer.

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!
