FITNESS CLASSES



PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING FOR

IMPORTANT CHANGES TO THE GRAND DOMINION FITNESS CLASS PROGRAM



In an effort to increase our fitness class participation and provide the best possible and affordable fitness class program, our Fitness Class Registration Procedure will be undergoing some changes. On July 1st, we implemented a

FITNESS CLASS PUNCH CARD SYSTEM.

Please note the following:





THE FITNESS CLASS PUNCH CARD SYSTEM WORKS AS FOLLOWS:

Ø Cards will be sold at the front desk - $40.00 for 10 classes (or punches).

Ø Punch cards can be used for any class type and combination with the exception of the S.T.A.B.L.E. Balance Classes.

Ø The fees for the S.T.A.B.L.E. Balance classes will remain at $1.00 per class and that fee will be paid directly to the instructors from Grayslake Rehabilitation at the beginning of the class. No pre-registration will be necessary.

Ø Punch cards will not be used for the S.T.A.B.L.E. classes.

Ø Cards are non-transferable and can be used by only one resident.

Ø At this time, expiration dates are not applicable.

Ø Residents without a punch card can attend any class for a $5.00 drop-in fee.

Ø No Pre-Registration will be necessary for residents using a punch card or paying the $5 drop-in fee.

Ø The Front desk will no longer take any money or handle any registration – Registration will be done by the instructors in each class - they will take attendance, punch the cards and take any money for the drop-in fee of $5.

Ø Classes will be held regardless of number of participants. Classes will be held as scheduled unless advance notification has been made or emergency purposes dictate cancellation.

Ø This system is being implemented on a trial basis, will be evaluated at the end of the year and is subject to changes at that time if continued subsidization is necessary to fund instructor fees.



For more information other inquiries,

please contact the Lifestyle Director, Tracy Citrano.

We hope the new system will be equally beneficial for all involved.

Thank for your patience and cooperation during this transition period.



NEW PROGRAM – SAMPLE A FITNESS CLASS FOR FREE!!!

If you’re new to the community or just new to the fitness program – here’s your chance to sample the Grand Dominion Fitness Classes! You can take a class for FREE! Just pick up a FREE FITNESS CLASS TICKET from Tracy Citrano, the Lifestyle Director. You can try any of the current classes one time and we’ll promise you’ll be hooked!

ü One ticket per class, per resident

ü No registration necessary

ü Present ticket to instructor at time of class

ü Participation for future classes must be paid with a fitness class punch card which can be purchased at front desk

ü OR daily drop-in fee of $5 per class



PICK UP A COPY OF THE MONTHLY FITNESS CLASS SCHEDULES AT LAKESIDE LODGE FOR CLASS CANCELLATIONS OR CHANGES!!!



PLEASE NOTE:

The continued low attendance in many of the Fitness Classes may force cancellation of some classes if participation does not increase in the coming weeks. The Fitness Class Punch Card System was implemented in an effort to keep class costs as low as possible, with no pre-registration necessary and the assurance that no class will be cancelled due to low registration.

But these added benefits have failed to increase class participation, requiring subsidization of the program for instructor payments. But the subsidy will soon be depleted, so WE NEED MORE PARTICIPATION. The Fitness programs are an integral part of your health and wellness and the Grand Dominion Lifestyle Program. Show your support and take a class today!

HELPING HANDS

Do YOU need a helping hand? Maybe Helping Hands can help!

Helping Hands is a group of residents who want to lend their “hands” to other residents within the community who may need assistance of some kind. This may take the form of:

· A social phone call or get well wish

· Help around the home in time of sickness or healing

· A ride to an appointment, a store, pharmacy, physical therapy on a limited or occasional basis

· A wellness visit

· A hospitality visit

· Card recognition for illness or loss of a loved one

· Community information dissemination

· Local resource materials

· Web portal training

The group’s purpose and function is based solely on the need for assistance and will maintain the utmost sense of privacy and respect at all times. The members will rely on requests by residents ONLY and all assistance will be given on a confidential basis unless otherwise requested by a resident.

If you are in need of assistance by the group or have permission by someone to make a request on their behalf, please contact the person in Helping Hands from your neighborhood listed below.

LAKESIDE LODGE ACCESS CARDS

Residents must now use their access cards for entry into Lakeside Lodge during hours of operation. Please remember to bring your card to enter the Lodge. This is imperative if we are to properly monitor visitors’ entry and it is an important aspect of the security measures put into place for the Lodge. Access cards are issued after participation in a fitness center orientation session. If you do not have an access card, please sign up for an orientation session. To schedule an orientation session, contact the Lifestyle Director, Tracy Citrano, to set up a time, 847-566-2403. If you have gone through an orientation session and have not received your card, please inquire at the Lakeside Lodge front desk.

Lost card fee replacement is $25.00.

ACCESS CARDS ARE NON-TRANSFERABLE.



ACCESS/ACTIVITY CARD CLARIFICATION

While all Grand Dominion homeowners are authorized facility use privileges, a maximum of two access/activity cards are issued for each Annual Base Assessment (as noted in the Governing Documents.) This does not mean a single resident household will be issued a second card if there is not a second authorized resident in that home. Additional residents over the two person card maximum, 19 years of age or older, who reside in a residential home for more than 6 months in a calendar year, may obtain a supplemental annual Access/Activity card at an annual cost of $500.00.
