Calling All Yoga Instructors

Sooo...are there any certified yoga instructors out there that like early mornings? We are having some challenges keeping our 6:00am yoga class going. The problem is that our wonderful yoga instructor has another job that is conflicting with her teaching yoga at that time. How Rude!!

While we don't want to lose our current instructor, we really do need to fill that time slot. So if you like early mornings, are yoga certified the Summit is the place you need to be. For more information call Kris at 751-4131

It's here again, the first Wednesday of every month is our Senior Dollar Day. Anyone 65 and older is invited to come enjoy the activities at the Summit for only a $1.00. That's right!! $1.00. Enjoy the therapy pool, lap pool, take some classes, lift weights, do some cardio or walk the track. Whatever you feel like doing the choice is yours. Come on in, it's only a buck!!

Upcoming Repair Projects--Updated!!

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.
