Our Jewish Community Center 

Celebrating our accomplishments and moving forward 

As I sit to write this end-of-year article I 

just received the financials for our 2015- 

2016 fiscal year. Wow, what a wonderful 

year it has been for our agency. We had 

fundraisers that came in better than 

budget, departments that saw record 

enrollments, struggles that 

were conquered and goals that 

were met. And yet once again 

I have butterflies over what 

this new fiscal year will bring. 

After 15 years of serving as 

your executive director you 

would think that the anxiety 

of what this year will bring us 

would no longer be as scary. 

I have found that I meet the 

challenges of “what’s next” 

better with this nervous energy. 

July was the beginning of our current 

fiscal year and what an exciting beginning 

we’ve had. Record number of enrollments 

in our summer camps, increases in 

membership, more senior meals served 

than ever before and a campus that has 

never been so busy. So, does this define 

success? 

Well, let’s take a moment to look at 

the flip side of life here at the JCC: the 

struggles. The second week of August we 


JCC Executive Director 

started our asbestos abatement project. 

Although the dormant asbestos in our 

64-year old building’s crawl space posed 

no health risks to building occupants, the 

time had come to proactively abate this 

space. We estimate that this project will be 

completed by the time school 

starts. 

In late August we began 

our Sports & Fitness Center 

renovations. Our Fitness 

Center opened in 2001 and 

most of the equipment was 

15-years old. Although it had 

served us well, the time had 

come to replace it with today’s 

state-of-the-art equipment. 

Not all of our equipment will 

be replaced, however. Some of the better 

machines will be refurbished. We’re also 

installing new flooring and giving the 

place a deep cleaning to make everything 

look brand spanking new again. 

So that’s my quick rundown of our 

agency’s fiscal and physical issues. But 

how are we doing when it comes to serving 

our community? Do we serve a purpose 

for the community and are we fulfilling 

our mission? Currently, our strengths 

are found in our children’s programs 

and our senior adult services. We know 

that we must build upon these while also 

strengthening some of our other programs. 

Our adult programming and teen 

services need to be strengthened and 

expanded. Last year we closed our teen 

center “The SPOT” in ShoppingTown Mall 

and brought our teen programming back 

to the JCC. While we now offer fewer teen 

programs, we did have one of the biggest 

and most successful high school Battle of 

the Bands events in our gym last January. 

Our teen summer travel camp SyraCrusin’ 

saw a record number of campers this year, 

serving almost 20 teens every week that 

this program was held. 

So, yes, while we still have some more 

work to do in some areas, we are able to 

celebrate our accomplishments as we move 

forward and look to build upon them. 

From where I sit, I see more cohesiveness 

throughout the community than ever 

before. More collaborations are being 

formed and bridges being built. It is with 

these collaborations that we all will realize 

a positive force is being created by the 

bonds which are formed throughout our 

community. 


See what the JCC has in store for you 

As you read this message there are so 

many exciting things happening at your JCC. 

The “best kept secret” on the east side of 

Syracuse is getting even better! 

Your Sports & Fitness Center is 

undergoing a major renovation 

which includes new equipment, 

new flooring, fresh paint and a 

fresh attitude! The group exercise 

classes are active, personal training 

is thriving and membership is 

strong. My wife Robin and I train 

with personal trainer John Hawley 

every Wednesday morning, and every Friday 

morning we participate in Peg Schick’s 

Muscle Sculpting group circuit class. If you’ve 

never taken a class at your JCC why not ask 

yourself, “Why not?” Try it... you just might 

like it! If you haven’t met our new Sports & 

Fitness Director Pat Scott, please stop by and 

say hello. He is a wealth of information as well 

as attentive and caring while advising on your 

fitness path. 

Enrollment in our Early Childhood 

Development Program is very 

strong, especially for infants. For 

older school-age children, our After 

School Program and vacation camps 

continue to grow. With these two 

programs, the laughing of children 

is the most wonderful sound in the 

world. It is a sound that echoes 

through our building. 

Every day the JCC’s Chef Donna Carullo 

prepares delicious, healthy meals onsite for 

local seniors. The socialization, schmoozing 

and culinary delights are a staple of so many 

of our seniors’ daily schedules. Director Cindy 

Stein is our incredibly enthusiastic cheerleader 

for Adult and Senior Programming as she 

schedules and arranges great entertainment 

and activities for everyone to enjoy. 

Nothing would come together as well as it 

does without the dedicated guidance and 

direction of a qualified executive director. 

Marci Erlebacher continues to give 150 

percent to your JCC. Her mission is to make 

every member feel welcome and a part of 

the family —from the Mah Jongg table to the 

lunch table, to the Fitness Center, to the 

swimming pool, to the classrooms and on. 

Thank you, Marci. 

So don’t be a stranger! Come and see what 

your JCC has in store for you!

Supporting Your Center 


Your continued financial contributions, gifts, grants and endowments allow 

us to serve you, your family and the larger community six days per week, year 

round. Funds raised are critical to daily operations, special programming, 

future development and improvements, and scholarships and financial aid. 

End-of-year donation 

Public support is imperative to the JCC of 

Syracuse’s survival. The center depends on 

these donations for a full 7% of its annual 

budget. Information about making a taxdeductible, 

end-of-year contribution will 

be sent out in late fall. 

Matching gifts 

Many companies in the Syracuse area have 

matching gift programs, which encourage 

charitable giving by their employees. 

Under these programs, companies match 

gifts—often dollar for dollar or even two 

dollars to one—that individuals make to 

nonprofit, tax-exempt organizations. Your 

gift to the JCC may qualify. Please check 

with your company to determine eligibility 

requirements. 

Tribute cards 

To commemorate special occasions, 

including births, birthdays, graduations, 

anniversaries, marriages, Bar or Bat 

Mitzvah, or to celebrate and honor 

the memory of a loved one, the JCC 

welcomes tax-deductible gifts to one of 

our many endowment or special funds. 

(See the tributes on page 33.) The JCC 

will send an acknowledgement card to the 

individual (or next of kin) in whose name 

the contribution is made. Tribute cards 

recognize someone special and help the 

JCC. For more information, contact Erin 

Hart at 315-445-2040, ext. 112. 

Volunteer 

An agency such as the JCC is dependent 

on the enthusiasm and willingness of 

members of the community who volunteer 

their time and talent. Volunteers are 

invaluable in bringing vital perspective, 

experience, community and manpower to 

complement those of our staff members. 

Senior Adult Dining Program 

Our Bobbi Epstein Lewis Senior Adult 

Dining Program (see page 22) offers 

seniors a hot, nutritious kosher meal 

five days a week at a very affordable 

price. It’s our way of “giving back” to 

local seniors who form the foundation 

of our community. You can help 

keep this valuable program going by 

making a contribution or becoming a 

sponsor of our monthly senior newsletter. 

For more information, contact 

Erin Hart at 315-445-2040, ext. 112. 

Jewish Federation of CNY 

The JCC of Syracuse is a beneficiary 

agency of the Jewish Federation of 

Central New York. The JCC receives 

funding from the Federation and 

works in close partnership with it to 

provide the Jewish community with 

essential programs and services. 

JCC families and members can help 

by giving generously to the Jewish 

Federation of CNY campaign.

JCC Gala draws large crowd for special award presentations 

A full house of supporters came out to 

celebrate with the Sam Pomeranz Jewish 

Community Center of Syracuse for its 

153rd Annual Meeting & Gala held on 

Sunday, June 5, at Owera Vineyards in 

Cazenovia. Over 200 people were on hand 

as the JCC presented “The Leslie” Award 

for the very first time along with four other 

awards honoring a select group of local 

men and women for their outstanding 

service in support of the JCC and the 

community. 

“The Leslie,” which honors the spirit 

of the late Leslie London Neulander, 

was created to recognize outstanding 

commitment and service to the JCC 

and to the local community. These were 

the qualities that London Neulander 

personified throughout her many selfless 

volunteer pursuits. 

The inaugural “Leslie” Award was 

presented to Sara Temes, JCC board 

member and treasurer. A graduate of 

Wellesley College and the University of 

Pennsylvania Law School, Temes is a 

partner with the law firm Bond, Schoeneck 

Kovod Gadol Award recipients Steven and Robin Sisskind (far right)

honorees has given so much to the JCC 

and to our community, and has made such 

positive and selfless contributions. We 

appreciate the terrific support from our 

sponsors and guests who helped make our 

gala a huge success.” 

This year’s Kovod Gadol 

Award, which is the JCC’s 

highest honor and in Hebrew 

translates to great honor, 

was presented to Steven and 

Robin Sisskind. In addition 

to being longtime JCC 

members and supporters, 

the Sisskinds have been very 

involved with the local Jewish 

community. Steven is the 

JCC’s board president and 

owner of Sisskind Funeral 

Service which has been 

serving the Central New 

York Jewish community 

since 1990. He is also an 

executive board member of 

both Temple Adath Yeshurun 

and Menorah Park, secretary 

of the Syracuse Jewish 

Cemeteries Association, 

and he and Robin have been 

co-chairing Menorah Park’s 

Shining Stars event for the 

past 12 years. Robin Sisskind

One of our most successful summer camps concludes 

The JCC of Syracuse recently wrapped up 

perhaps its most successful Camp Rishon 

summer day camp. Hundreds of campers 

ranging in age from infants to school-age 

children to teens attended a total of 2,500 

camper weeks during the eight weeks of 

camp which ran June 27 – Aug. 19. 

“Camp Rishon was a huge success 

this year,” said Mick Hagan, director of 

Children and Teen Services. “The children 

were great and were filled with loads of 

enthusiasm and adventure. We couldn’t 

have done it without our excellent camp 

counselors, many of whom have been 

with us for the past few summers. It’s 

very satisfying to be able to make the kids 

happy and give them an experience they 

won’t soon forget.” 

From arts and crafts, swimming and 

sports to field trips and more, there was 

more than enough fun and excitement 

to go around for campers in the JCC’s 

Nitzanim, or traditional, school-age 

day camp. Meanwhile many school-age 

children who opted to focus on a specific 

area of interest had a blast in a JCC 

specialty camp such as soccer, gymnastics, 

dance, horseback riding, fishing and more. 

Once again this year young teens 

entering grades 7–10 in the JCC’s 

SyraCruisin’ Teen Travel Camp got to 

take in a variety of adventurous local and 

regional road trips as well as direct their 

energy volunteering with various local 

organizations. 

“There’s nothing like summer camp at 

the JCC because it’s all about the children,” 

said Hagan. “We go the extra mile to 

make each camp a fun, safe and wonderful 

experience. In doing so, we help to create 

great memories that will last a lifetime.”

• CHILDREN’S ACTIVITIES 

As a child I have vivid memories of playing a 

game and someone calling out, “Do over!!” 

If memory serves, do over meant another 

turn or chance in that particular game even 

though it was not warranted by the rules. 

Imagine if in our lives we had a do over 

or system restore button where we could 

erase an action we felt to be wrong or 

inappropriate. In reality, we do have a reset 

button; it is known as Yom Kippur. On this 

day we have the opportunity to literally 

erase or wipe away our incorrect deeds of 

the past year! On Microsoft’s website I found 

the following: If a system problem develops 

as a result of a system change, the user can 

return the system to a previous state using 

the data from a restore point. 

Amazingly, this is exactly what Yom Kippur 

is all about. At the same time it demands 

action on our part. We are all aware of the 

famous Haftorah read on this day about the 

prophet Jonah’s attempt to flee from God. It 

is only when he realizes running away from 

his obligation will solve little if anything that 

he hits system restore button. He begins his 

journey back to the starting point. 

There is a great deal to glean from Jonah, 

especially when interacting with our children. 

If we expect Yom Kippur to be a day to start 

afresh, why not offer the same chance to our 

children when they make errors? In this way 

our children will be given the opportunity to 

learn from their mistakes. 

Please God, when we hear the beautiful 

voice of the Shofar on Rosh Hashanah, let 

it become a wake up call for us. This year 

let us not hit the snooze button, rather hit 

system restore! To one and all, my wishes 

to you for a happy a healthy New Year and 

may we all be inscribed and sealed for health, 

peace and happiness!

JCC Gala 

• Continued from page 8 

is the corresponding secretary of the 

Women of Temple Adath, the “flower lady” 

solely responsible for securing donors for 

the flowers that grace the Bima at Temple 

Adath every Shabbat and holidays, and 

she has been an award winning Weight 

Watchers leader for over 32 years. 

The Kovod Award, which signifies 

honor and importance, was presented to 

Joanne Maloff. Her exemplary service and 

involvement with the JCC for many years 

includes chairing and co-chairing the 

JCC Dinner Dance Gala multiple times. 

She has also chaired the JCC Annual 

Meeting and participated on the Super 

Bowl raffle committee the past five years. 

Maloff is an active volunteer with several 

local organizations including the Syracuse 

Hebrew Day School, which honored her 

with the Woman of Valor Award in 2000 

and the Volunteer Award of the Year in 

2002. 

Helen Marcum and the late Phil Stein 

were honored with the Hall of Fame 

Award, which recognizes and celebrates 

individuals who have dedicated themselves 

to the Syracuse Jewish community and to 

the advancement of the JCC. 

Helen Marcum is a former JCC of 

Syracuse board member and she was the 

center’s second female board president. 

Her dedication to volunteering started at 

an early age and she has generously given 

her time and talents to many nonprofit 

organizations. Marcum is currently a 

board member and finance chair of the 

New York State Federation of Women’s 

Clubs, board member and treasurer of the 

Syracuse Federation of Women’s Clubs 

and member of the Jewish Observer 

advisory committee. Her honors include 

receiving the Esther and Joseph Roth 

Award for Outstanding Jewish Community 

Leadership from the Jewish Federation of 

Central New York, The Post-Standard’s 

Woman of Achievement Award in 

Volunteerism and the Hannah G. Solomon 

Award from the National Council of Jewish 

Women (NCJW). 

Phil Stein, CPA, passed away in May, 

2015. He was the JCC’s long-time auditor 


and a partner with D’Arcangelo & Co. 

certified public accountants. Stein was 

well respected in his field and is very 

much missed by clients and co-workers. 

He served as treasurer of LaFayette Golf 

and Country Club, Temple Concord, 

Menorah Park, Metropolitan School for 

the Arts and the Syracuse International 

Film Festival. He was a member of the 

NYS Attorney Grievance Committee and 

the Cavalry Club, and a past president of 

LaFayette Golf and Country Club. Stein, 

a congregant of Temple Concord, also 

was an active community volunteer with 

Junior Achievement and Canine Working 

Companions. 

The JCC of Syracuse’s Annual Meeting 

& Gala is the center’s largest and most 

important annual fundraiser. This year’s 

event proceeds, as in the past, will provide 

significant funding for scholarships to 

individuals in the JCC’s early childhood, 

after school, summer camp and senior 

programs.

How to Register 

Registration for the 2016-2017 school year 

has been ongoing, and space is typically 

very limited. Each new school year requires 

registration. When a class is filled, based on 

New York State licensing requirements, a 

wait list is developed. Once the school year 

begins, children are admitted from the wait 

list on a space-available basis. 

There is a $25 reservation fee to be placed 

on one of our wait lists. This does not 

guarantee placement in a classroom. We will 

notify you if a placement becomes available, 

and you will have 48 hours to accept the 

placement. 

Withdrawals, changes 

Enrollment in ECDP is a commitment to 

our 10-month school year which consists 

of three sessions: September–November, 

December–February and March–June. Any 

program withdrawals or enrollment changes 

must be made 30 days before the start of a 

session. 

For more information, please call us at 

315-445-2040, ext. 122. 

Infant Level 

We offer the highest quality of care to our 

youngest members in the Syracuse area. To 

maintain a developmentally appropriate 

environment for our infants, they are 

separated into two age groups: Infant I 

and Infant II. Infants who are 6 weeks to 

12 months old at time of enrollment are 

placed in the Infant I classroom. Infants 

who are 12 months to 24 months at the 

time of enrollment are placed in the 

Infant II classroom. 

The ECDP provides a responsive 

environment that supports and encourages 

exploration through a variety of classroom 

routines and experiences. Infant caregivers 

focus on daily routines such as hellos and 

goodbyes, diapering and toileting, feeding, 

dressing and soothing to sleep as part of 

the curriculum. These one-on-one routines 

help to build positive relationships between 

infant and caregiver, promoting trust and 

allowing infants to feel secure in their 

environment. 

Once infants have developed a 

trusting relationship with their caregivers 

they will start to gain new skills and 

participate more actively in daily routines. 

The teachers are then able to provide 

intentional indoor and outdoor experiences 

that allow children to learn while imitating 

and pretending, connecting with music 

and movement, exploring with sand and 

water and creating with art. 

Toddler Level 

• Must be 18-months old by September 6, 2016 

Toddler children are at an age when they 

establish secure attachments with their 

caregivers more quickly and are now eager 

to experience their world. They react to 

what they experience through their senses 

and physical activity. ECDP teachers 

provide intentional experiences for 

toddlers through a variety of indoor and 

outdoor experiences. 

Learning materials that match the 

children’s growing abilities and interests 

are provided and the children start to 

explore objects and begin to use them 

purposefully. While playing with toys, 

imitating and pretending, exploring 

sand and water, creating with art and 

going outdoors, the toddlers learn to 

communicate and socialize with peers and 

adults, to think mathematically and to 

discover like scientists. 

Toddlers start to enjoy special 

programming outside of the classroom 

setting, such as Toddler Tango and gym 

class. Toddlers are placed into classrooms 

according to their chronological age. 

Children do not need to be toilet trained, 

and when appropriate, toilet training will 

be incorporated into one of the goals for 

your child.

Three-Year Old Level 

• Must be age 3 by December 1, 2016 

With kindergarten just two years away, 

this is an important time for every child 

to learn that the world is bigger than 

imagined. Children learn new skills 

and concepts through our thematic, 

hands-on approach to learning. Daily 

activities are carefully planned to promote 

children’s social, emotional and cognitive 

development. Our teachers are trained to 

recognize differences in rates 

of development within this 

age group, and individualize 

instruction to meet every 

child’s needs. Materials and 

activities are appropriately 

tailored in an effort to 

challenge children’s abilities 

while building their selfconfidence. 

Throughout the year, children will 

discover the wonder of the world they live 

in. All of our three-year olds are actively 

engaged in group discussions, long-term 

studies, sensory play, cooking, process art 

and more. Our three-year olds are reading 

stories, singing songs and playing their way 

through the day. We also tailor gym time 

with our specialized gym instructor to 

the needs of our three-year olds. We play 

outside every day, weather permitting, on 

our beautiful fenced-in playgrounds. 

With all of these wonderful 

activities happening in our three-year 

old classrooms, the Early Childhood 

Development Program provides a well 

rounded and positive learning experience 

for your child. 

Pre-K Level 

• Must be age 4 by December 1, 2016 

Our oldest children explore the world 

through our hands-on, developmentally 

appropriate approach to learning. We 

include both child initiated play and 

teacher-directed academic experiences on 

a daily basis. Planned lessons 

and activities allow teachers 

to informally and continually 

assess each child in order 

to effectively modify and 

individualize instruction. 

Academically, we focus 

on exposing children to the 

skills and concepts needed 

to succeed in kindergarten. 

This includes creative expression, math 

and reading readiness, along with fine 

and gross motor skill development to help 

each child learn, grow and succeed. Each 

classroom is also equipped with a SMART 

board where the children are engaged in 

daily interactive lessons which promote 

creativity and critical thinking. 

Children at the Pre-K level attend field 

trips which coincide with what they are 

learning. In the fall our classes will visit 

the apple and pumpkin farms. Later in 

the school year we’ll visit the MOST, F-M 

Planetarium and Fayetteville Free Library.

Adults and Seniors Program 


Fall driver safety courses 

at the JCC 

We can all use a refresher every now and 

then when it comes to safely navigating the 

roadways. If you’d like to further hone your 

driving skills—as well as save some money 

on your auto insurance and knock some 

points off your driving record—check out 

these upcoming driver safety courses that 

the JCC will be hosting. 

National Safety Council 

Defensive Driving Course 

• Sunday, Sept. 18 

• 9:30 am – 4 pm 

The class is $25 per person ($20 for JCC 

of Syracuse members) and open to licensed 

drivers of all ages. Attendees must bring 

their drivers license and are welcome to 

bring a dairy (non-meat) lunch. 

This National Safety Council course focuses 

on practical defensive driving knowledge 

and techniques to help participants avoid 

collisions and traffic violations. The highly 

interactive class will include learning 

activities, discussions and videos with reallife 

driver simulations. 

AARP Driver Safety Course 

• Tuesday, Nov. 15 and 

Wednesday, Nov. 16 

• 9 am – noon 

The class is $25 per person ($20 for AARP 

members) and open to licensed drivers of 

all ages, although it is geared toward older 

drivers. Attendees must come both days and 

bring their drivers license. 

The AARP Driver Safety course teaches 

current rules of the road, defensive driving 

techniques and how to operate your 

vehicle more safely in today’s increasingly 

challenging driving environment. Attendees 

will also learn how to manage and 

accommodate common age-related changes 

in vision, hearing and reaction time. AARP 

membership is not required to take the 

course and there are no tests to pass. 

Upon completing either the National Safety 

Council or AARP course, participants are 

eligible for a discount on their auto insurance 

and up to a four point reduction for recent 

infractions. 

To register for these classes, call the JCC of 

Syracuse at 315-445-2360 or stop by the JCC 

front desk. 

Connect. Learn. Have fun. 

Birthday celebrations 

Each month we hold a birthday celebration 

for all the senior birthdays in that month. 

The dates are posted in the newsletter. 

Come help us celebrate! 

Bridge 

We welcome new bridge players of all ages 

and levels on Mondays from 1–3:30 p.m. 

Join us for lunch and then hit the tables! 

A new table will open up when we have 

enough extra players signed up. Please stop 

by the front desk to get on the list. 

Driver safety courses 

Would you like to lower your auto 

insurance costs and reduce points on 

your license? We regularly host AARP 

Driver Safety and National Safety Council 

Defensive Driving courses here at the 

JCC one or more times each year. See this 

fall’s upcoming classes at left. For classes 

coming up a little further out in the future, 

check out our monthly newsletter or 

regularly visit our website www.jccsyr.org 

for announcements.

Department of Adult & Long Term Care 

Services. For more information, call 

Sharon Kieffer at 315-445-2040, ext. 156.

has held the tap classes the past several 

years at the JCC, teaches “New York City” 

style. Students do not need to commit 

to every class and can attend as much as 

they’d like. 

“If you’re 

new to tap 

dancing, these 

classes are a 

great way for 

both men and 

women to 

experience it 

and try it out,” 

says Patrick 

Scott, JCC 

sports & fitness 

director. “The 

remedial and 

beginner classes 

are for students 

new to tap and 

teach the basics. Barry does a great job of 

getting both newcomers and experienced 

dancers alike moving and having fun each 

night.” 

Shulman, an attorney with Mackenzie 

Hughes LLP, has taught many principal 

dancers on Broadway and with national 

tours. He keeps the cost of the tap classes 

to a minimum and donates the proceeds 

to the JCC of Syracuse. Shulman received 

the JCC’s Kovod Gadol award in 2013 for 

his extraordinary commitment, energy and 

loyalty to the center.

MIND AND BODY 

Barre 

A combination of ballet techniques with Pilates 

movements and principles offers an energizing 

workout that strengthens, stretches and tones the 

body. 

NIA (Neuromuscular Integrative Action) 

NIA is a blend of concepts, cultures, theories and 

movement from the east and west. It is a barefoot 

technique offering a fusion of movement styles. 

Experience the expressiveness of dance, the power of 

martial arts and the wisdom of the healing arts. 

Pilates 

Based on the principles of Joseph Pilates, this class’ 

multiple levels of participation uses bands, magic 

circles, stability balls and BOSUs. Mostly done on a 

mat, but some standing work is incorporated as well. 

ALL FITNESS LEVELS 

20/20/20 

For those looking for some variety... 20 minutes of 

cardio, 20 minutes of muscle sculpting and 20 minutes 

of stretching. Wow! 

Balance & Bone Density 

This integrated balance training and bone density 

building class is designed to address fall reduction 

and prevention as well as build bone density and 

postural stability. 

Cardio Conditioning 

This high-energy class offers all the benefits of a 

muscle sculpting class combined with different cardio 

techniques such as steps, BOSU ball and glides. 

Format will differ from class to class to offer the best 

fat- and calorie-burning workout in town. 

Group Cycle 

Designed by an Olympic mountain-biking coach, 

the Keiser M3 Plus bike brings the mountain-biking 

experience indoors to safely deliver a full-body 

workout. Unlike other cycling classes which just work 

the legs, this cutting-edge cycling class works the 

whole body. 

Line Dancing 

Get moving with line dancing—a fun way to exercise! 

Line dance to all varieties of music using a series of 

basic steps and patterns of all dance styles. Challenge 

yourself as the dances change direction and move 

around the room. Class is designed for beginners, 

those who want moderate exercise, and also for those 

who want a more intense workout. 

Tai Chi for Arthritis 

Tai Chi is an ancient practice proven to improve 

mental and physical well being. Tai Chi for Arthritis 

uses gentle Sun-style Tai Chi movements to help 

reduce stress, improve breathing and develop 

balance, mobility and body awareness. All ability 

levels are welcome and you don’t need to be 

diagnosed with arthritis to participate. 

Yoga 

A hybrid style drawing from Vinyasa, Lyengar and 

Viniyoga that brings physical benefits by integrating 

body and mind performance. Bring a towel, water and 

we recommend that you bring your own Yoga mat. 

Yogalates 

This class is a fusion of Yoga and Pilates. See each 

description above for further details. 


Instructors use barbells, free weights, bands and balls 

to create the ultimate total body shaping class. 

Step & Sculpt 

A dynamic blend of step and cardiovascular activities 

along with intervals of strength movements help 

increase muscle tone and the body’s metabolism. An 

overall power packed workout! 

TRX Suspension Training 

Free; $15 for non-Fitness members 

TRX (Total Body Resistance Exercise) utilizes a band 

(two-handled nylon strap) to harness the power of 

gravity and movement for body weight exercises. The 

result is a mix of support and mobility to train strength, 

endurance, flexibility, coordination, balance, power 

and core stability across a wide range of resistance. 

TRX for Golf 

Fee: $15 for Fitness members, $25 non-members 

TRX (total body resistance exercise) training 

specifically designed to help golfers with off-season 

conditioning. 

Zumba 

A fusion of Latin and international music provides 

the backdrop for a blood pumping, effective 

cardiovascular workout for all ages. A variety of fast 

and slow rhythms help tone and sculpt the body while 

you learn easy-to-follow dance steps. Zumba Gold is 

the low-impact version for all levels. 

BASIC 

Chair & Balance Class 

Exercises designed for a chair for those individuals who 

have difficulty getting down to the floor for mat work. 

Also some standing work for balance training. 

Exercise Chair 

Working on a push-pull pulley system, the exercise 

chair offers a total body workout while sitting. It is easy 

to use and helps increase flexibility, balance, endurance 

and strength. The chair can accommodate those with 

very limited mobility to those who can get around and 

are looking to tone and increase their upper body.
