DEPARTMENT REPORT | RECREATION<br />

<strong>Mauldin</strong> Sports Center<br />

Biggest Loser has come to an end. At the start of the 8-week competition, the 12<br />

participants started with an overall body fat of 429% — an average of 35.7% per person.<br />

Participants ended with an overall body fat of 418.7% — an average of 34.8%. The<br />

top three overall winners are: Renee Neal (lost 4.1% body<br />

fat), Christy Bryant (lost 3.4% body fat), and Vanessa Ochieng<br />

(lost 2.2% body fat). Look for a similar challenge beginning<br />

this Spring! Congrats to all of our participants!<br />

And another congratulations to Taryn Willey, who decided to<br />

take her fitness a step further. Originally certified in Piloxing,<br />

she is now certified to teach a wide variety of group fitness<br />

classes such as tabata, hiit, intervals, and more.<br />

This month saw a high demand for All Ball Sport Circuit, which will now be on the<br />

schedule every other Wednesday evening and a few Saturday mornings. There was<br />

also an increase in demand for RIPPED classes, which will now be on the schedule<br />

every Wednesday morning, every other Thursday evening, and some Saturdays. Why<br />

does RIPPED work so well in this facility? RIPPED is for all fitness levels — from beginners<br />

to athletes and personal trainers. Members make the class as intense as they’d like or<br />

as easy as they’d like. There’s no plateau in this class because instructors constantly<br />

change the blocks around.<br />

Youth Activities<br />

One of <strong>Mauldin</strong>’s 10U All-Star basketball<br />

teams has qualified to participate in the SCAP<br />

State Tournament. Baseball and softball teams<br />

have started practice and will begin play on<br />

<strong>March</strong> 25th. Plans are being made now for the<br />

upcoming baseball and softball season.


Ray Hopkins Senior Center<br />

Members of the Senior Center kicked off the month with a Superbowl party where<br />

everyone brought their favorite appetizer and played tabletop football with spoons,<br />

shot pool, and played many games. The seniors are also helping the City gear up for<br />

the annual Egg Drop by stuffing eggs.<br />

Team Angel is back in full swing, writing cards to those in our community going through<br />

a difficult or joyous times. The team also visits friends in the hospital, rehab facilities<br />

or at home and provide caregiver relief.<br />

The Life Story class has provided seniors with an insight into their peers’ interesting<br />

lives. Bummin’ Around returned with a shopping trip to Steinmart followed by lunch<br />

at Olive Garden. The new class “Laughing with Linda” is a hoot, combining simple<br />

yoga with hearty laughter to increase oxygen to the blood and brain to lower stress<br />

hormones and blood pressure. Six AARP tax preparers are busy filling taxes for senior<br />

center members, with approximately 45 people attending every Thursday.<br />

Seniors took a trip to a Greenville Swamp Rabbit game where The Rabbits won in<br />

sudden death over time with our ladies shouting “Go Rabbits” and “hit them bunnies.”<br />

Registration is open for two trips to Atlanta’s Medieval Times for a matinee show and<br />

meal, a trip to Gibbs Gardens and a trip to Pleasant Ridge Camp.<br />
