A lot is happening at the club this September and we don't want you to miss a thing! From next week's FREE week to youth offerings to fun events, we have everything you need to make your fall fitness experience unforgettable.

Youth Fitness – How much do they need and when should they start?

According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), children aged 6-17 need about an hour of moderate to high intensity exercise daily (1). However, the American Heart Association cited that only 25% of American teens reach that amount (2). There is a long list of reasons for kids to get moving, here are our top 5.

Top 5 Benefits of Youth Exercise:

Strengthens bones, muscles, heart, and lungs.
Improves coordination, balance and flexibility.
Improves mood, concentration, and attention.
Lowers Incidences of Anxiety and Depression.
Increases self-esteem and self-confidence.

We aim to make fitness fun for everyone, and kids are no exception. Starting next week, September 11/12, we will be offering two 6-week sessions of youth fitness, that will not only get your kids moving, but enjoying it!

Focused on building foundational strength in young athletes, Youth SC is offered to kids 8-12 year of age who are ready to dominate in their sport or just to get healthy and fit for everyday life. This class combines functional movements, speed and agility, conditioning, and weight training to provide the perfect base to elevate your kids to their fullest potential! Get prepared for a workout so fun it feels like a game!

The first fall session of 2023 begins Tuesday September 12! This class will last 6 weeks on Tuesday/Thursday at 5:30pm and costs $85 for OAC members. *Please note the time change from previous sessions* Click below to register.

Built for ages 13+, this youth weightlifting class is designed for teens who want to get strong, build confidence, improve in sports, and learn how to do it right. Krystykka's experience in Olympic lifting and weight training cannot be matched and will provide teens with a strong foundation they can take with them as they grow and prepare for life. Youth weightlifting has also shown to decrease injury prevention while playing sports by up to 68%!

The first fall session of 2023 begins Monday September 11! This class will last 6 weeks on Monday & Wednesday at 5:30pm and costs $85 for OAC members. Click below to get registered.

For those a little more mature in years, the benefits of exercise don't change and, just like the lines on our face, the list only gets longer. We can't promise that exercise will decrease the length of your wrinkles, but chances are it will increase the years of your life! Below are some excellent programs designed for adults who want to show up, work out, and have fun!

September is the perfect time to come try out 4300 and see what the fuss is all about! The coaches at 4300 are invested and dedicated to each individual's success inside and outside of the gym and welcome ALL fitness levels to their classes. Each workout is modified and individualized to each person's fitness and experience level. Each class is only an hour long to get you in and out of the gym and include various modalities such as weightlifting, high and low intensity workouts, functional body weight movements, and mobility to help increase functional strength and elevate your quality of living to its highest potential. The members of 4300 have also formed a tight-knit community to help keep you accountable and motivated on your low days!

"As a college student who works full time, I love 4300 because I get a full workout in and can be done in one hour. I always feel accomplished when I finish the workout and leave the gym. It's a fun environment and the coaches are great, especially Krystykka."

"I'd like to send a HUGE shoutout to recognize my personal trainer extraordinaire, Haley Lythgoe. She has been beyond fabulous during the more than 2 years she's been helping me. I retired in 2012 and immediately prioritized my health and conditioning. When I started working with Haley I hoped to avoid having a total knee replacement, but eventually I decided I needed to do it while I didn't have any medical issues that would put me in a high risk category.

Haley worked with me, listened to my concerns, and responded with a program that prepared me well for surgery. I had the first knee done mid-March and the second one 3 weeks later. I was in physical therapy for at least 2 months and returned to personal training sessions about 6 weeks ago.

Haley has been supportive and encouraging throughout. I tend to get discouraged but she has been encouraging when that happens. I can see I lost conditioning when I was recovering from surgery but now I'm feeling stronger. I'm positive that my conditioning going into surgery, at 81 years old, was much better than most of my contemporaries, making my recovery much easier. I am blessed to have Haley working with me and the club is fortunate to have a trainer of her caliber."
