It was INSANE

Check out our pix from the LIVE Master Class with Shaun T last night. What a turn out, what a class!

Happy New Year

Happy New Year!

2010 has started off wonderfully here at the RiverWinds Community Center. Our membership base is continuing to thrive as we have seen familiar faces renew right away this January and some new friends have chosen to make the 'Winds their home away from home.

Our January Pass is back for the 8th consecutive year, at an amazing low price of $19.99! All land and water group exercise classes are included for the entire month of January, and our patrons are using it! Other programs are in full gear, but we're most proud of our Live Master INSANITY class with none other than the master himself -- and creater of the amazingly popular INSANITY program -- Shaun T! He'll be here on Wednesday, January 13th at 6:30 p.m.

We're also hosting our bi-annual Blood Drive in the Community Room on February 5th, from 2:00 p.m. through 7:00 p.m. Appointments are encouraged but walk-in's are welcome! Health & Safety classes are back for Spring with a CPR/AED recert class on March 16th, and our outstanding Lifeguarding course will run March 11th through 14th. But don't delay your registrations...these classes fill FAST! Open to residents AND non-residents.

Stroke Mechanics for the Competitive Swimmer is back in the swim of things after the holidays, and the West Deptford High School Swim Team is making a splash in the pools this Winter season, too. Check the web for the updated schedule.

Feeling crafty? We're the place to be! Adults can "Pick-a-Piece" on January 14th, 20th, and 25th, with items like glassware, bisqueware, wreaths, and jewelry to choose from. Classes run 7:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. Not a resident? Not a problem! Our registrations are open to all! Got kids? Youth 6-12 can come by on January 6th, 14th, and 26th for ceramics, murals, and candymaking, respectively, from 7:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. Tinier tots aren't left out either: they can participate in the same craftables on the 7th, 13th, and 26th of January from 10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.

If the weather is nasty and you're not sure if we're open, check our website or call 856.251.1410 for up-to-the-minute info. But rest assured...it takes more than a flurry or two to scare us!

Things are exciting as always at the 'Winds...so don't miss out. Need other info, or have questions about programs? Call 856.251.0990 and we'll help you out.

See you soon!

End 2009 with a Bang...at the 'Winds!

Well, we made it through the snow! It was a tricky weekend, but our three-hour spin ride was still a success, the tournaments had a great finish, and we all survived the various plow-or-no-plow nightmares around the county. Score!

And we're not even done! We have a New Year's Eve ZUMBA class scheduled for 9:30 a.m. on the 31st which will be a great way to jump start your night...and 2010!

If you're like us and looking excitedly ahead to the new year, take note: our January Pass is for sale at the bargain price of $19.99 for all the land and water group ex you can handle for the first month of the year, and we're starting programming off right with a hot Vinyasa flow yoga class on the 2nd at 9:00 a.m....90 minutes of some real zen!
