Equipment

2009-07-13T13:17:00.000-07:00

New equipment has arrived!

No more sign up sheets...The Wellness Center has added more cardio equipment.

We have added 4 more treadmills and 2 AMT machines.

The AMT does more than customize a workout, it customizes a movement -- adapting to your motion -- which means you can completely change the motion and paths of your steps without so much as the push of the button.

The AMT meets the needs of the most demanding members and provides a challenging alternative to any exerciser looking for variety and the chance to experience freedom of movement.

A Wellness Center Success Story

2008-07-10T12:38:00.000-07:00

An interview with Claudia LaChance, a member of The Wellness Center.

Claudia LaChance Before.....

Claudia LaChance Now!

1.) How long have you been a member of The Wellness Center?

I joined with my family for the full membership in November 07.

2.) Tell us about your experience as a member of The Wellness Center?

I have been able to continue the progress of weight loss that I began thru the St. Mary Wellness Center program. I really enjoy the Womens Center vs the open fitness room at the larger Y building. The machines are top-notch, the atmosphere is friendly. I am greeted with warmth and continuously encouraged as I work out. The staff makes it clear that if I have any needs or questions they are only too happy to help me. Barbara trained me as well as my 16 yr old daughter on the use of the equipment. I work out usually 3 days a week, and look forward to going.

3.) What would you tell other women about The Wellness Center?

I have already encouraged several women to join, one I do know has joined. I try to go with her on certain days to help her work out and keep her company.
It's a wonderful place to go, I've seen other gyms and this center was my "pick of the bunch". I have not regretted joining for one moment. They won't either!

4.) Why should other women join The Wellness Center?

Why? So they look like me, FIT, HEALTHY, HAPPY and ENERGETIC!
