Keep Your Belongings Safe

2012-02-01T04:54:00.000-08:00

There has been a recent rash of break-ins in the Flathead Valley, sad but true. Every day it seems we are hearing about another one. While I have NOT heard about anything recently up here at the Summit I would like to offer a reminder to everyone to please, please don't leave purses, cellphones, wallets etc... on the seat of your cars! If you don't want to lock them in your trunk bring them inside, we have the lockers downstairs for a reason! With that being said, please lock your items up in the lockers while you are here. I'm kind of a "cup half full" sort of person and I like to believe the best in people, unfortunately that is not always the case. Even when you are in the shower lock the locker for security sake.

I really hate being this negative but I think it is something we all need to be a little more aware of. Thank you so much and do have a great day!!

Christmas is 7 days away, you still have time to finish up all the odds and ends, and take a little time for yourself. Maybe get that workout in at the Summit to help you destress. We even have things for sale that would make great stocking stuffers...how about a new swim cap or goggles? We have great Nordic walking poles and pedometers as well for that hard to buy for person.

Merry Christmas every one!!

Elevator Repair

2011-09-06T05:26:00.000-07:00

Anyone who has ridden on our elevator knows that it has been kind of hit and miss on whether it is working or not. Sooo....beginning Tuesday, September 6th the north elevator will be out of service for up to 4 weeks for modernization. If you need to use the elevator you will be able to enter through our physical therapy department using the south entrance. If you need to use the elevator before physical therapy hours or on the weekends, you will need to contact the front desk and we will have our supervisor on charge let you in through the physical therapy department.

Upon completion of the north elevator, work will begin on the south elevator. We do apologize for the inconvenience but the modernization must be done.

Health Benefits of Cold Showers

2011-08-31T04:44:00.000-07:00

Sooo...Most of you know that we are without hot water this week and it was suggested to me to find the benefits of cold showers. Thanks Darryl. I went to our information superhighway and lo and behold you can find anything on the internet, guess what I found?

Many cultures in many countries enjoy the benefits of cold showers or plunges. Some of the benefits that I found were as follows: Improves circulation, relieves depression, keeps your skin and hair healthy, strengthens your immune system, increases testosterone, and increases fertility. Now, with all that being said, further research did find that women that are menstrating should not take cold showers during that time. Also persons with heart problems are not suggested to take cold showers. I did find testimony from one person that had a quadruple bypass surgery and had been taking cold showers since his recovery and felt better than ever.

I hope all of you realize this is very tongue in cheek, but we need to find light in every situation that we can. Is your cup half full or half empty? Have a great day and make it the best it can be!!

Check Out The Gentle Classes!

2011-08-26T05:15:00.000-07:00

Improve your flexibility and balance with classes like, "Flex"," Gentle-Stretch", "TaiChi", "Yoga", "Core Stability", or "Lighten Up". These are all great alternatives to pool exercises and a great way to try something new and shake up your workout. Give it a try and have a great day!!

This is a walk in clinic but it is handled very quickly, you are in and out of here in almost no time. A complete screening runs $25.00, LDL and HDL only $15.00, and cholesterol in general $10.00.

Sooo...I told you about the Gypsy Fusion Bellydancing class that was coming up on Saturday, August 27, now I need to tell you about some changes.

Upcoming Repair Projects--Updated!!

2011-07-29T06:07:00.000-07:00

Just a little update on our upcoming boiler retrofit/repair. This was originally scheduled to start August 1st, however, it has been pushed back to coincide with the annual pool closure that we do for cleaning. The retrofit will put us without hot water starting Monday, August 29 through Friday, September 2.

Now, not to confuse things, the therapy pool will close at 5:00pm on Friday, August 26. The lap pool and spa will be closed Saturday, August 27. All pools will reopen by Tuesday, September 6.

There have been a lot of grumblings about these repairs and I hope you understand that we do not do these things to make any one mad. We truly are sorry for the inconvenience this causes, but when you have a facility this large there are maintenance issues that must be dealt with. In a perfect world these could all be handled in the night time hours, the reality is that some things can not happen the way we would like them to. They can't be done at night or they can't be done in 8 hours. We really appreciate your patience and hope that when these projects are complete they will improve your Summit experience.

Water Is Important

2011-06-29T04:24:00.000-07:00

I received a forwarded e-mail the other day that I thought I would share with you. It is some interesting facts about drinking water and how important it is to our bodies. Did you know that about 90% of heart attacks occur in the morning? It can be minimized if you drink 1 to 2 glasses of water before you retire in the evening. Two glasses of water after waking up helps activate the internal organs. One glass of water 30 minutes before a meal aids in digestion. One glass of water before taking a bath helps lower blood pressure. One glass of water before bed helps avoid strokes or heart attacks.

I thought these were some very interesting little factoids and how simple is it to drink a glass of water? So drink up! Drink your way to better health, cheers!!

Cholesterol Screening

2011-06-27T05:00:00.000-07:00

Come in, say hi and get that screening done, take good care of yourself.

International Nurses Day

2011-05-12T05:59:00.000-07:00

So all you Doctors out there, and everyone that has been touched in your life by a nurse in some way or another, be sure to say "thank you" for all you do. Sometimes a nurses job is totally thankless and unnoticed whether they are a RN, LPN, or a CNA, but without them the Doctors could not do the jobs that they do. Be sure and say thank you and have a great day!!

Thought for the Day

2011-02-25T05:59:00.001-08:00

I decided I would like to leave you with a thought for the day to get the weekend started, so here goes.

"We can not change our past.
We can not change the fact that people act in a certain way.
We can not change the inevitable.
The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have,
and that is our attitude." Charles Swindoll

Do have a great weekend, stay warm, and keep smiling.

Spring...It's right around the corner

2011-01-24T04:52:00.000-08:00

Ok, so maybe I'm jumping the gun but with all the gray skies, cold weather and general gloom there has to be a little shining light on the horizon. I found mine yesterday, I looked out my kitchen window and there on my pussywillow bush were catkins. Now, it is not fully covered but it is a start.

With that being said it must be time to get into Spring training. It's time to get those gardening muscles tuned up, digging, hoeing, planting all the fun stuff! It's never too early or too late to get started, there can always be a "Day 1", that's what I tell myself anyway, don't give up.

If you need a little morale boost don't despair. Not everybody is a size 5, nor would we all want to be. You need to embrace yourself, all your curves and chubbiness, faults and failures. Underneath all that is a really good person, I'm sure of it! If you are ready to try and shed a few pounds for whatever reason don't be intimidated, take that first step, you can do it and remember that"Hope Springs Eternal".

Extended Hours

2011-01-24T04:33:00.000-08:00

Please remember the new Sunday hours don't start until March 6th, but it's almost here. Anytime that you are looking for changes it is so important that you fill out comment cards, member surveys etc...I am always, always happy to listen but most the time the "Powers that Be" won't listen to my input they want to hear it from you, our valued Summit members. Thanks so much for all your comments, questions, complaints we really do want this to be the best place for health and fitness.

Coaches vs Personal Trainers

2010-10-18T05:44:00.000-07:00

OK so I have been kind of confused on this "coaching vs personal training" thing, maybe you are too?? I did a little asking of questions and checked around and lo and behold have come up with an answer...I think. Basically, what it comes down to whether you are looking for a nutritionist , dietician, personal trainer or some wellness advice you are looking for some "coaching". So the long and the short of it is that basically the terms are interchangeable. Who doesn't need a good coach now and then?

Personal Fitness Training

It has been so nice to see so many of you back that I missed all Summer. I love to hear what you've been up to, what adventures you have done, where did you go for vacation? Now it's time to get back at it, hit the treadmills, ellipticals, classes. Zumba or bellydancing anyone??

Back to School

2010-08-17T05:35:00.000-07:00

Back to school time is right around the corner, like next week. Yikes!! The Interlake has a section on Back to School in todays edition with a lot of great information. Most of it is pretty basic commonsense information but it never hurts to have the basics reinforced. Getting the proper amount of rest is critical as is good nutrition. Make sure your children are eating their fruits and veggies, and getting all their vitamins and minerals. Good nutrition combined with proper rest help to build a good immune system and go a long way towards preventing illness. While we're at it, let's not forget the importance of exercise! It is so important to keep those little bodies moving and active. It will keep their energy levels up, their caloric intake in check and also help keep their immune system strong. Get your back to school shopping done, don't forget the healthy snacks and have a great day!

Vacation's Over

2010-08-17T05:28:00.000-07:00

Words of Wisdom

In the words of Mike, advice for your weekend activities. "If you are hiking, biking, jogging or whatever in bear country, make sure you have someone slower behind you." Thanks for the words of wisdom. In all seriousness, though, be careful when you are out this weekend. We have so much beautiful country around us here, so many things to do. Fishing, hiking, camping, boating, cycling, etc...the list goes on and on. Use common sense and good judgement when you are out and about this weekend. Have a great time and I will see you all again on Monday!

Tiling Fitness Stairs

2010-07-28T08:02:00.000-07:00

So what's the latest buzz? What's with the stairs to the cardio level? What's a "flyway" and why do we need access to that? Here's the scoop. The stairs that go up from the fitness floor to the cardio mezzanine are being retiled so they will be closed for several days. To get to the cardio floor where the treadmills, elipticals, bicycles etc...are located you have to scan in at the front desk (like usual) go to the locker room (if you use it) and then come back upstairs to the front desk. Then you head towards the deli, past the deli, you are now entering the cardiac rehab zone. Cross over through cardiac rehab and you are now in the cardio mezzanine. As you go through that area please be respectful of those who may be using the equipment at the time.

Water Jogging Protocol

2010-05-14T09:54:00.000-07:00

So, it was brought to my attention this morning that there is some confusion on the protocol for water joggers versus lap swimmers. I decided this was kind of a gray area that was unclear to me too.
What I found out was this: If there are two or more lap swimmers in a lane the water jogger needs to move to an outside lane closest to the wall. If there is an exercise class going on in part of the pool and only 1 lane available for lap swimming a water jogger may use that lane. However, if a lap swimmer wants to get in that one lap lane the water jogger should move to the other end (the deep end) and do their water jogging down there. That will allow the lap swimmer to do their thing, as well as the water joggers and those participating in the class.
