Dear Members,

Your core is the powerhouse of your body, fostering strength, stability, and resilience. A strong core means less back pain and fewer injuries, plus it boosts stability and makes workouts more effective. Let’s learn how to strength train and sculpt those abs together!

We’re kicking off another round of Small Group Training (SGT) to get you in tip-top shape for summer! Starting in April, we’re bringing back our SGT classes, with a max of 8 folks per session. This time, we’re focusing on getting your whole body strong, with a special focus on building up that core.

Our SGT sessions strike the perfect balance between enjoyment and quality. It’s super popular because you get top-notch training without blowing your budget. Plus, sweating it out with a crew is way more fun than going it alone. And hey, you might even make some new workout buddies along the way!

Ready to crush your fitness goals? Come join us and let Tish show you the way!

Details:
• This is a 8-week program
• 1 day per week on

Fitness Activities at OHTC

Many of us struggle with getting back on track after the holidays. Whether you’re new to exercise or you took a break for a few weeks, don’t worry about getting out of shape. You can choose from many options to get your motivated enough to jump back into your fitness routine. Small group training is one of them! 

Big enough to be fun, but small enough to still be quality. This is how I describe small group training. Small group training has been gaining popularity because it’s an affordable and fun way for members to take advantage of a trainer’s expertise at a lower financial investment — all while keeping the fun and competitiveness of a group dynamic.

Small group training allows a trainer to work with more people at once. It’s a cost-effective way for members to experience the benefits of working with a fitness professional while paying only a small fraction of one-on-one training. Another reason small group training has become popular is due to the benefits of working in a group. When people start exercising in a group, they establish relationships and make friends with other people in the group — helping them become regular participants in group activities. Our small group training classes are community within the community of the club, and they feel like a family! 

I am thrilled to announce that starting in March we will be offering small group training classes based on your fitness level (8 students maximum). The days and times TBD based on the demand. If you are interested, e-mail groupfitness@oaklandhills.com for more details. Small group training is so good that I have no doubt you will be back for more!

In health,
Yulia

NEW: Little Champs Summer Camp open for kids 3 to 7 years old.
This year, in addition to our regular HOT SHOT Group (ages 6 to 8), we will be allowing kids as young as 3 years old to participate in the summer camp.

The LITTLE CHAMPS program will be similar to HOT SHOTS, a great way to get your kids involved in racquet sports such as tennis and pickleball. Little Champs is a grassroots program designed to introduce children between the ages of 3 and 7 to the game of tennis, pickleball in a fun and rewarding way. Tailoring to the
needs and athletic ability of young children, the LITTLE CHAMPS program enables them to learn tennis quickly while at the same time having fun. This experience will encourage them to continue playing tennis rather than being frustrated into an “easier” sport.
