  Speaker 2: have our new sports Camp program which takes all the
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: best parts of YMCA Camp Benson so hiking, kayaking, friendships, adventures,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: and it adds in a sports intensive element. So there
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: will be breakout sessions with some of our new coaches
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: and they will learn drills, skills, teamwork, competitiveness and kind

  Speaker 1: added feature, and this is for those youth obviously right.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Typically middle to high school because it's going to be
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: we have pre professional and professional coaches who are going
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: to be out there kind of pushing that drive that
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: a lot of these kids have when it comes to sports,

  Speaker 2: providing that little extra oomp so they can really give
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: it their all when their sports season starts. Are these

• 9:26
  Speaker 1: sharpened up on our swim lessons. And the Sterling Rock
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Falls Family why offers obviously the indoor facilities. It's a
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: great area that the Sterling Rock Falls Family why it
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: has to offer and swim lessons all year round. But
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: you are going to take a break in August.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: You said, yes, we're going to take a little break
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: in August. Some of our other swim instructors will probably
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: do group private lessons and individual private lessons. It's just
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: our larger swim lessons. Our aquatic director is going to
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: be out, so we're taking a little break, all right.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: So again note that when signing up for swim lessons
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: through the Sterling Rock Falls Family, a great aquatic facilities
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: at the Stirling Rock Falls Family YMCA, and we wanted
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: to kind of wrap up with Ellie today on some
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: adult classes that you wanted to show.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So talking about our swimming facility, we have our
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: new group classes. We've got a couple different types that
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: we really wanted to highlight. The first one is our
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Aqua Blast class, which is this high energy water based
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: workout so it's easy on the joints, but it's still
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: that workout, still that high intensity every Friday morning from
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: nine to nine forty five with one of our big
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: favorite personal trainers, Jen. It's huge. I think she's got
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: like twenty people right now. It's a super fun class.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: I'm jealous I have to walk by and see it
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: every morning, like I want to go, But.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: It sounds like fun. And again it's offered on this
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: is a weekly basis, yep, on Fridays. We're good on
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: weekly basis on Fridays. Anything else to share, Yeah.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Jen actually has her Synergy class, which is we have
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: this machine, it's called her Energy Machine, which really emphasizes
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: on using your body to build strength, build endurance and
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: kind of push your workout to the next level. This
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: is a more intense, longer workout class. So we typically
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: have a fee for ten dollars for members fifteen dollars
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: for non members. But it's kind of that extra push
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: for your workout because you have a personal trainer with you.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Because it is a smaller class, you can really focus
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: on what you need to build and develop.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, and again with the great facilities as I mentioned
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: at the Sterling Rock Falls Family, why and the great
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: equipment that they have, now this is one of those
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: areas that again we're spotlining today. Yeah, with that equipment
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: that is available at the Sterling Rock Falls Family, why
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: so get involved in that anything else before we leave.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: We've got one last class, so Marquees he's one of
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: our newest coaches. He's got our boot Camp class, which
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: is kind of the kicking gear highest line class we've got.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: It's circuit based, so you go to each different machine.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: He kind of pushes you to develop even further than
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: you thought you could go. So it's really kind of
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: a boot camp to kick you in gear. So it's
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: it's been pretty fun so far. I can't wait to
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: try it myself.
• 12:20

• 12:23
  Speaker 1: uh Is this on a kind of a regular basis.

  Speaker 2: Yeah, so typically it's on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We do
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: ask that people register in advance just because we want
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: to keep it a smaller class size so everyone can
• 12:36
