GETTING to the POINT

ISSUE 63 | JAN/FEB 2021

Happy New Year! I think most people will agree with us when we say, we are happy

2020 is in our rearview mirror! Here is to a brighter and healthier 2021. We were able

to accomplish a lot of tasks/goals at Five Points in 2020, so let’s look at the bright

side. Some of the things we were able to complete last year, to benefit our

members this year are:

• Developed a membership app, personal training app, an on-line nutrition

coaching app and on-line memberships

• Started aquatics personal training

• Started a member referral plan

• Updated kid’s clubhouse, senior room, track, banquet rooms, flooring in the

locker rooms and group exercise studios

• 5 Star nutrition partnership

• More affordable group training options

• Expanded My Zone

• And more….

We want to thank our members so much for continuing to support us. We value all

our members and their health very much. We will continue to adhere to strict

sanitation protocols so that you can feel safe at Five Points. Exercise is vital in your

quest to get, stay and keep healthy and vibrant. Be on the look-out for when we

can once again have outdoor activities. Our Five Points Friday’s were a great

success last year and we want more people to enjoy them this year. They are free

outdoor concerts the whole family can appreciate. We love being able to do this

for our community. We plan on expanding them and making it even a more

enjoyable experience this year. 2021 here we come!
