I'm Back!!!!!

After a very long hiatus I am finally back! Actually I had a total knee replacement and was out of work for a very long time. It seemed much longer than it actually was, I guess I'm not really cut out to be a stay at home full time person. At least not while recovering from surgery. As soon as I could get out I was here at the Summit rehabing my knee and having way too much of a social life! If that is possible at a health club?? It was a lot of fun and I worked out more in the 2 1/2 months that I was gone than I have in the 6 1/2 years that I've worked here. Things are going very well, my knee is still quite stiff but I have been working it in the therapy pool as well as on the fitness floor doing exercises that my physical therapist showed me to do and riding the exercise bike.

Anyway, I just wanted you all to have an explanation of where I have been and why there hasn't been any blogging. Thank you so much for all your concern and well wishes. Everyone's kindness and generosity was so appreciated!

Third Time's A Charm

One more time! So the new flooring will actually be put in This week, starting Thursday Nov 8. The weight floor will reopen Monday morning November 12 at 5:00am. During this closure the weight floor, racquetball courts, climbing wall, and Studio A will all be closed.

Take Two....The Summit Weight Floor

Guess what?? The concrete is now dry and we are ready to install the new floor! Yeah!! Yes, we are going to be able to install the rubber flooring that we had originally planned, it is going to be awesome.

The weight floor, studio A, racquetball and climbing wall will all be closed November 14-18 for installation of the new floor. Like before, the cardio area, track and gym will remain open. We decided to do this the week before Thanksgiving so that when families are together for the holiday the Summit will be fully open for everyone to enjoy.

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding.
