GETTING to the POINT
ISSUE 64 | MARCH/APRIL 2021
Can we all agree that it’s been so nice to have Five Points during this winter season?!
What a blessing to be able to get out, workout and socialize when the weather has
been dismal. Spring is just around the corner and we could not be happier about
that. Once the weather is warmer, we will have plenty of outdoor activities to keep
you entertained as well. Be sure to watch for our calendar of events.
Starting March 1st we will be expanding our hours of operations. Weekends will go
back to our normal hours – Saturday 6am-7pm and Sunday 7am-7pm and we will
close at 9pm Mon-Friday. Just a reminder that the Kid’s Clubhouse is open and our
kid’s programs have resumed. Your kids have several options for classes – Kid’s yoga,
Fun and Fit Jr., Born to Move virtual classes and Josh’s virtual Bootcamp Jr.
Wearable technology is one of the hottest trends in fitness right now. If you have not
looked into our MyZone belts be sure to ask the front desk about them. In March we
will be having a MyZone March Madness fitness challenge. Not only are the
challenges fun to participate in, but they also help keep your workouts motivating.
We are hosting a variety of socially distant upcoming events, including Eat, Drink &
Be Married Bridal Showcase, Trivia Night, Princess Ball, and Spring It On Outdoor
Market. Events will feature limited capacity and enhanced sanitation procedures for
public safety. Select events will feature hybrid options combining an in-person and
virtual experience. For detailed information on our upcoming events, please visit the
events page in this newsletter.
Thank you to all of our members for your continued support. We value every single
one of you.

FITNESS
I am currently a student at
Illinois State University
studying Recreation
Management and
Administration. I will be
graduating in May 2021. I
am now completing my
recreation internship to
help gain some more
hands-on experiences
working in this field. These
experiences will help me
learn new skills that I will
be able to take on to
future jobs.
My goal as a recreational
practitioner is to help provide people with the opportuni-
ties to participate in recreational activities and to find
leisure activities they enjoy. After graduation I also hope
to pursue a certification in personal training to have the
opportunity to encourage healthy lifestyles.
Turbo Kick® LIVE! is a high-energy class combining traditional kickboxing moves with high-intensity interval training and FUN choreography and music!
Whether you keep your moves athletic, or add your own sass, it will feel like a party!. You can check out Turbo Kick Live on T/TH 9:30-10:30am in Studio 3
The March Madness MyZone challenge
kicks off on March 1st. It’s a facility
wide challenge with randomly assigned
teams. Teams will be competing
against each other with a winner being chosen from the winning
team. If you want to participate and need a MyZone belt you
can grab one from the front desk. They are available to pur-
chase for $85.
