53.0. "New machines; any training planned?" by KMOOSE::CMCCUTCHEON (Charlie McCutcheon) Thu May 29 1997 11:09

I notice lots of replaced Nautilus-type machines, apparently from MKO,
at the center.

Many of them need different settings to use, or are fundimentally different.

Is there any training planned for how to use these?

When last I was down, I didn't have time to bother the 2 instructors
who didn't leave their office the entire time I was there.  (I might've
thought they'd circulate to help out)  So I did fewer machines, and had
less of a workout.

Also, the only posters weren't about how to use the new machines,
but seemed to be trying to get us to eat 5 servings of fruit & veggies.

Thanks,
Charlie

Yes, we plan to set aside time weekly to help members with the new machines.
You should soon get a notice announcing the times.

In the future, please _do_ "bother" either Renee' or Kristin.  They may be
busy in the office, but their primary interest and primary responsibility
are to people.

We have plans for posters, but they really are a lower priority.  Beyond
helping people with the new machines, the Fitness Managers have been working
to merge the equipment and information of the two fitness centers.

P.S.  If you missed Denise Richardson's presentation yesterday, you also
missed free food and a good time.  The Get Fit with 5 promo is just one of
those things we do to try to add a little fun and interest in health related
issues.

My point was that I hadn't been down since the new machines were put in,
so I didn't know what changed.  I hadn't allocated time to ask questions,
I was in my usual rush.  I did about 1/2 my usual workout since I didn't
know how to use the different machines.

Sorry if I missed some mail or something about training or that the
instructors wanted to be bugged.  From what I see however, if they're
so busy with other things that I'm not being told what to do, then they
seem too busy to answer questions also...  ;-)

    	Charlie,
    
    	If I remember correctly, members were informed that there
    	would be some equipment changes/upgrades at the Wellness Center
    	due to the closing of MKO.
    
    	Renee and Kristin have worked very hard to make sure this was
    	a smooth transition and to come up with a floor plan so we could
    	get all of the equipment that we wanted from MKO.
    
    	They will gladly help you with the new machines, all you need to
    	do is ask.  The last time I was down there, I asked for some 
    	assistance as did another member and she came out very shortly
    	thereafter and instructed us on how the new machines worked.
    	You'll have to speak up if you need help for now, until we can
    	set up some kind of formal information/demo of the new equipment.
    
    	Regards,
    
    	Judy

Subj:	New Wellness Center Equipment and extended office hours

You've probably noticed a few changes in the ZKO Wellness Center in the
last couple of months...

Yes, you are truly seeing pink!  All the newer MKO Life Center equipment
has been moved to the Wellness Center.  Because of space requirements, we 
could not keep a lot of the older Wellness Center equipment, but we chose
the best and safest equipment.  If you would like some assistance on how
to use this equipment, one of the Fitness Managers will be available on 
Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays between 11:00am and 1:00pm during June to
answer any questions and show proper form.

Kristin Shea, formerly the MKO Life Center Manager, has joined Renee'
Parolisi on the Wellness Center team.  The Wellness Center will now have
more hours of Fitness Manager coverage on a weekly basis.  The office hours
are:


                         Kristin                    Renee'

           Monday     8:30am - 3:30pm                 off
           Tuesday    8:30am - 3:30pm                 off
           Wednesday  8:30am - 3:30pm          10:00am - 5:00pm
           Thursday   8:30am - 3:30pm          10:00am - 5:00pm
           Friday          off                 10:00am - 4:00pm


We also want to welcome all the former MKO Life Center members who are now 
Wellness Center members.  If you've not visited the Wellness Center, remember,
your membership at the Life Center gives you membership at the Wellness
Center!

We will do our best to meet the needs of all our members.  If you have
questions or concerns, please send us mail or call the Wellness Center at
DTN 381-0643.

Renee' and Kristin
