FALLing Into a New Session!

It’s Session 5!

School has started, the gridiron is packed, and we finally got a break from that humidity. Fall has arrived, and with it, Session 5 programming.

We have the new program book online at www.RiverWinds.org, packed with exciting new and favorite classic activities for the entire family.

We’re pleased to announce the return of Melissa to Tuesday night 6:30 p.m. spinning! Her maternity leave is over and she’s bursting to get back in the studio – and kick everyone into shape!

Our Swim Lesson schedule is also posted and we are accepting registrations. They begin on Monday the 17^th. If you’re not sure what level your child fits in to, call Cristin at 856-251-0990 x104.

We also are excited to announce the new Unlimited Child Care Pass available to members! This 30-day unlimited pass is $25 per child and is ideal for those who utilize the Child Care area regularly. This Unlimited Pass is a third option, on top of the hourly rate, best for those who are trying Child Care for the first time or for those coming and going with no set schedule, and the $30 Child Care Pass, which is best for those who don’t carry cash on them and/or don’t use the Child Care enough to warrant the purchase of an Unlimited Pass. Not sure which is right for you? Call Debbie at 856-251-0990 x106!

The Italian Heritage Festival will be at RiverWinds on Sunday the 30^th from noon until 6:00 p.m., featuring exhibitors, Italian food, kids’ activities, craft vendors, and more! Call 856-467-0096 with questions.

Don’t forget, we’re still looking for motivated, creative interns in our fitness and administration departments! Email Mandee Casey at KernM@RiverWinds.org or check out the website for specifics…it’s tremendous training in so many fields, and that free facility membership during your tenure with us is quite a perk!

And finally, there are still a few non-resident memberships available, and members in good standing can sponsor individuals and families from outside West Deptford to join for the year! Don’t miss out – take advantage of this extraordinary opportunity while there’s still time!

We look forward to seeing everyone return from vacations and summer activities as we fall back into our school year routines.

See you at the facility!

Back to School!

Even though the official start to autumn isn't for another two weeks, the day after Labor Day starts the unofficial back to school season, and the gang at RiverWinds is busy getting everything ready to make your transition back to pencils and books an easy one!

The Aquatic Facility has new fall hours, available online. Look for extended lunchtime hours in the lap pool! We've recently reopened after a week of annual maintenance, and the place looks pretty fantastic, if we do say so ourselves! Stop on by and see for yourself.

The Session 5 book is getting it's final touches put on and should also be online by mid-week, so keep an eye out for all your favorite classes. Sneak peeks are available now under the Aquatics and Fitness tabs so you can start making your sweat schedule early.

The Super Class Pass has dropped to an obscene $40...that's right, all the land and water classes you can take from now until the end of December for only $40. Get yours at the front desk during regular business hours!

We're running some great promotions, too, like the Fall Back into Fitness Incentive Program on the Fitness Floor, and a FREE ZUMBA Tone class on Saturday the 8th at 9:35 a.m.

The entire 2013 SCUBA calendar is online. Have yout checked out the opportunities for Discover and Open Water Certifications?

Township calendars are available at the Front Desk, as well. Stop in to get the 411 on all your local comings-and-goings.

If you follow the West Deptford Patch, RiverWinds programs are also posted on that calendar, as well as on our various social media portals. We're committed to keeping you abreast of all our programs and activities! If you'd like to see us elsewhere in the real or virtual worlds, give us a shout at 856-251-0990.

Don't forget, this Saturday is West Deptford Day on our grounds starting at 10:00 a.m. Not only is this a great time to show off your facility to friends and neighbors, you can also get connected to the other fantastic civic organizations at your disposal, like the West Deptford Police, EMS, Library, Historical Association, Junior Women's Club, scouts, athletic teams, and more. Don't miss out on what promises to be a fantastic day for the entire family!

We look forward to seeing you at the facility, your place for family, fun, and fitness!

Prepping for the Fall Season!

It's Session 4, Week 7, with a couple more weeks to go before we're officially in the Fall!

We've been enjoying this wonderful August and hoping for another mild year ahead (does anyone remember snow drifts?). As we look to close out Summer '12, we're readying a full Autumn season for you and your family.

So far this month, we've had some tremendously successful TRX Workshops on our Fitness Floor. TRX, as taken from their website TRXTraining.com, is the original, best-in-class workout system that leverages gravity and your bodyweight to perform hundreds of exercises. You're in control of how much you want to challenge yourself on each exercise - because you can simply adjust your body position to add or decrease resistance. The TRX Suspension Trainer delivers a fast, effective total-body workout, helps build a rock-solid core, increases muscular endurance, and benefits people of all fitness levels (pro athletes to seniors). By utilizing your own bodyweight, the TRX Suspension Trainer provides greater performance and functionality than large exercise machines costing thousands of dollars. TRX is used by personal trainers, professional athletes, and the United States Military, and it's available to our members and residents! The demonstrations adminstered by our fitness staff have made this amazing workout accessible and have invigorated workouts for newbies and veterans to our facility!

Concerts have been great when the weather has held up. Unfortunately, we did lose a couple to rain and threats of severe weather in the area, but when they're on, wow, do our members, residents, and guests come out in droves! We have two more on the schedule for this year, including Separate Ways, the Journey Tribute Band on August 24th, and Beatlemania Again on August 31st. Don't miss our close out bands!

August 15th was HUGE around RiverWinds. National Night Out, originally scheduled for August 1st, was rescheduled to the 15th after another wash out, and was piggybacked up against Big Screen Movie Night. Throw in our annual Ice Cream Social, and you have one amazing night for the entire family. We got some amazing pictures of West Deptford's finest liaising with participants, as well as the super popular K9 demonstration, face painting, snacking, and more...and that was all in preparation for The Smurfs playing in the amphitheatre. It was an awesome night and we're already looking forward to next year.

Discover SCUBA ran again this month, where non-members were additionally welcomed to get their feet wet and try out this incredible adventure sport without committing to the entire Open Water Cert...even though most people do - AND receive a great discount on check out dives! We're always holding Discover in the Lap Pool on the third Thursday of every month. Why not give it a try?

We still have a few things going on this month, like the Wine Cork Bulletin Board and Fall Centerpiece Workshops - non-residents welcome! - and the September Open Water SCUBA class starts with orientation on August 27th. Check out www.RiverWinds.org for details and call 856-251-0990 to enroll.

Don't forget, we will be shutting down the entire Aquatic Facility next week for our annual maintenance. We plan to reopen on September 1st!

We are also still taking a limited number of non-resident membershps! You can check out www.RiverWinds.org for pass information and learn how YOU can become a member, too...but don't delay...there are only a few memberships still open, and we are anticipating the fall rush after school begins.

Finally, if you're a college student and looking for an incredible internship opportunity - and FREE use of the facility! - contact Mandee at 856-251-0990 x105. Use your motivation and creativity to work in management, exercise science, marketing, and more to glean one of the most comprehensive job experiences available!

As ever, do you have ideas for programs or workshops not offered? Give us a call at 856-251-0990 x103 and let us know.
