Meet the newest addition to the Center: our belt squat machine.

Want to add heavier weight to your squat without putting a barbell on your back? The belt squat is a great option.

In this video, Personal Trainer Rick breaks down how to properly set up and use the machine, including how to adjust the belt to fit you and how to position yourself for your squat.

Once you’re set up, grab the handlebar in front of you and you’re ready to start your squats.

Need a little help getting started? Ask one of our fitness attendants—they’ll be happy to show you how to use it.

10 days until we’re back in the water!

Our Indoor Pools reopen Tuesday, September 8, and we’ve been busy behind the scenes making improvements throughout the pool area while they’ve been closed.

In addition to the new pool deck flooring, we’ve:
💫 Resurfaced and repainted the pool slide
💫 Installed a new scoreboard in the Competition Pool
💫 Replaced the backstroke flags and underwater pool lights
💫 Added new chemical controllers and made updates to pool piping and valves
💫 Upgraded the UV systems in both pools
💫 Refreshed the pool walls

And we’re putting the finishing touches on everything before reopening! Annual pool maintenance is underway, the pool windows will be thoroughly cleaned on September 4, and additional towel hooks will be installed.

The countdown is on. See you back in the water September 8!

Thank you for your patience while we’ve been working to make our Indoor Pools better for our members. 10 days to go!
