Welcome to Midtown,

While it seems like the majority of schools have an academic calendar that begins earlier and earlier in August, I still think of September as the real month for “back-to-school,” which then rolls right into the official start of autumn. It’s a great time of year, but I would love to see everyone improve in one important area: Fitness. I know we have.

Picture springtime for a moment and you remember how people always get so excited. You have warmer weather, added daylight, and the ability to be more active so you can get in shape for the summer.

When the kids go back to school, I’m always afraid that without the built-in motivation of being at the beach or the pool, people spend more time inside watching a new season of TV and merely slide their fitness goals to the following spring. As you can imagine, we’d like to change that pattern and we'll even help you enjoy the new routine by inviting you to a Fall Fiesta Member Chile Cook-off on the 25th!

If you’ve never been to our Club, now is the time. And if you’re already a Member, I invite you to enjoy our club improvements including a new staffed Junior area, a new Mind/Body Studio, new year-round Aquatics Academy lessons, and even the World Senior Racquetball Championships. We’re calling it a Grand Re-Opening and I trust you’ll like what you see.

Think of September as a time to get back into fitness and to educate your body. Summer may be over, but we’re just heating up.       

In good health,

Mike Rowley
