Free Fruit
We've had a positive response to the free bananas and apples we've been providing to members at the club. Of course, who doesn't like free stuff? In lieu of the membership appreciation nights we've held, we've decided to instead increase our quantity of fruit provided each day. We feel this is better service to our members...at least that's the feedback we're hearing. Please help yourself to the fruit and enjoy with compliments from your RF staff.
Tanning
The kinks with Advanced SunSystems should be all worked out. We had a problem with members going over there and asking for the RF specials, only the staff didn't know anything about it. Melanie, the owner, assures me everyone has been educated. Again, the discount is $15/mth basic unlimited tanning & 1/2-off joining fee (for new customers not already enrolled in monthly tanning) & 15% off all other tanning packages (10-sessions, etc).
Need a Smoothie?
RF member Rita Clark has opened the Tropical Smoothie Cafe in a strip center right next to the Wal-Mart SuperCenter. They have health & nutrition-related smoothies and drinks and you can even call in your order and drive thru their pick-up window to get it. They are offering a discount to RF members...just show your key card or fob for a 10% discount.
New Neighbor
We've got a new neighbor in Riverpointe Plaza. On the opposite side of Hibbett Sports from us is the Riverside Clinic. It is staffed by Dr Tom Eans (pronounced like jeans without the j), a family/general practice that can treat all types of illnesses and injuries. Dr Eans has several years of hospital Emergency Department experience and he has a Procedure Room to better care for injuries and urgent conditions. He gives international travel immunizations and can prescribe anorectics for weight loss when indicated. For more info, please give him a call at 663-3732.
TIP OF THE MONTH
DID YOU KNOW that the most effective way to perform cardio exercise is interval training? Using high intensity intervals followed by similar easy bouts gives the most return for your time on a treadmill or elliptical. Interval training increases aerobic capacity, mental toughness, and helps you vary your typical "steady state" cardio routine. During interval training, you exercise at high intensity for a period of 30 seconds to 3 minutes and follow each interval with an easy period. The harder the interval, the longer the rest period. A typical workout has 5-10 of these intervals and should be followed by a 10 minute cool down.
