Fitness What is working: AquaFit workshops and majority of fitness classes are well attended. InBody has had a lot of use. What is lagging: Zoom fitness has steadily declined since Jan 2024 so we are re-evaluating this program. Other fitness classes that are not doing well I am in discussion with the instructor on ways to improve. In the weight & cardio room areas, we have had some equipment go down that can't just be fixed and need our vendor to come in and fix which takes time. Contract programs: Contrology Pilates, Jump Rope, Guitar, PiYo, Strength Training for runners, Culture of India Workshops, Running H2O, and Strength in Numbers. A new contractor/program in the fall that will take people hiking at Chautauqua. Special Events: NYD Fitness Kick off, quarterly challenges that rotate themes. We have done other special events but not on a consistent basis. General Comments: Fitness in the studios has declined a little over the summer but will come back in the fall. We have been working through staffing issues like people moving on to better places and health concerns. Our personal trainers all have wait lists so just trying to work through that. The weight & cardio areas are always busy. The weight & cardio areas have gotten new pieces of equipment, which is exciting and keeps us up on the fitness trends. For example, we have updated an elliptical, got a true peck dec, and got a glute thrust. We will also be the only facility in CO to have a cold plunge which is pretty exciting! ChildWatch What is working: Helping our staff have a place to put their kids while they work is definitely a huge benefit. What is lagging: Overall revenue YTD however we found some potential errors in Rectrac that could be swaying those numbers. The Mon/Wed PM time slots have been slow for the summer. If they don't pick up in the fall we will eliminate those times. Special Events: We offer monthly themes that allow for special coloring sheets, crafts, giveaways. For example this month we are doing Olympic craft and giveaways. We have done healthy plates, holiday color books, Thanksgiving crafts! We also had live caterpillars that we watched grow and change into butterflies and then released them! General Comments: Child Watch is a smooth running area! The staff are great and help each other out when subs are needed. I try hard to keep up on making sure they have toys that work and books that aren't torn. We did recently get new books & toys that are more diverse.
