WELLNESS MEMBERSHIP HAS ‘RELAXING’ REWARD

Losing weight is listed many times as one of the good intentions on countless New Year’s resolutions; however some experts believe there is a better resolution for living healthier.

“A better life style is being promoted as the best way to lose the weight and to feel healthier at the same time,” said Deb Knight of the Smith Wellness Center in Emmetsburg.

And a great way to get both is to become a member of the Wellness Center.

“If a better life style is what you are looking for, the Smith Wellness Center is a perfect place to start,” said Knight.

Finding the right exercise is easy at the Wellness Center.

“If water exercise is your preference, our swimming pool is between 84-85 degrees all year long,” Knight said. “If you prefer walking or running that can be done all year long as well either on our treadmills or in the gym.”

“There, you will not find snow or biting cold in the winter time or biting bugs in the summer time. Many of our members enjoy group exercise which can be fun and motivating - we offer kickboxing, water aerobics, step aerobics, Pilates and even body sculpting.”

In addition, the Wellness Center offers personal trainers and a massage therapist who are available by appointment.

And, there’s an additional benefit for new members who join during January, February and March.

“If you are joining the Wellness Center for the first time, we will give you a coupon for just such a reward – a 30 minute session with our new massage therapist,” Knight added.

The Arthur and Audrey Smith Wellness Center is located on the Emmetsburg Campus of Iowa Lakes Community College.
