In January, there will be a new rate and fee price sheet. It is cleaner and isn't as confusing. Prices will not change, we are just adding unlimited classes for Silver Sneakers members.

We are collecting non-perishable food items for the Food bank. You can drop those off here at the Fitness Center. Thank you!

We also are collecting toys for “Toys for Mott's". We have a box here at the Fitness Center where the toys can be placed. Thank you for your donation! Deadline is 12/13/19.

Kiwanis is selling their assorted cans of nuts here at the Fitness Center. A can is $20 and can be purchased at the Fitness Center desk. They make great gifts and are also great in chex mix.

As the New Year is approaching fast and you are looking into setting new personal and fitness goals, here are a few things to keep in mind when setting those goals.

· 1. Don't set your goals so high that it is going to be unattainable. You should be able to reach your goal in 3-5 months and have another goal in mind once you reach that first one. Kind of like stepping stones. You want to build your fitness slowly and listen to your body so you are less likely to get injured.

· 2. Set your goals so that you have enough time to set aside during the day. If you are a busy person, give yourself a certain amount of time every day to work towards your goal. Write it in your calendar or put a reminder on your phone. And remember they say that it only takes 21 days to get into a rhythm of things.

· 3. Once your goals are met or you are working hard towards them, reward yourself. Be kind to yourself when it comes to the changes. The rewards don't have to be big, it might be giving yourself 5 extra minutes of alone time to buying yourself a new pair of shoes.

· 4. Don't be afraid to tweak your goal. If life happens and you can't give your goal the time frame or the time restraint you wanted, don't be ashamed to adjust it accordingly.

Remember, this is your goal and you are the only one that can achieve it. So here's to a New Year and new goals!!!
