The Paul W. Ahrens Fitness Center will host a Jam
Session from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Jan. 17. This event at Grinnell
Regional Medical Center’s wellness center is free and allows residents to try
group exercise classes and work out in the strengthening area. The PWA Fitness
Center is located at 824 Commercial Street, Grinnell, inside the Postels
Community Health Park.
Participants will have the opportunity to try a
sampling of GRMC’s group exercise classes, including Spinning, body blast,
gentle yoga, boot camp, power pump, kickboxing, Vinyasa yoga, functional
fitness, and yoga. During the Jam Session, the classes will run 45 minutes each,
starting on the top of the hour. A schedule is posted on http://bit.ly/1tHkAYl. Classes will be offered
from 8 a.m. to noon.
Headlining the event will be Ben Boothby, former
University of Northern Iowa defensive lineman, Hez Jackson, former Iowa State
University full back, and Jeff McGinness, former University of Iowa wrestler, who
will demonstrate the dual-sided squat rack with lifting platform. These Iowa
athletes will be in the center from 10 a.m. to noon.
“We invite anyone who wants to test out our classes
and equipment to stop in for a free morning and experience our community of
wellness,” says Chad Nath, GRMC’s wellness department director. “Our staff will
work with members to help achieve their wellness goals. You don’t need to face
the fitness journey alone. We welcome all fitness levels. Our facility was
designed for individuals with all abilities and motivation. And, we offer
classes for different levels of fitness.”
The open exercise event allows individuals to
experience the fitness center before they make a membership commitment. Guests
are welcome to bring friends.
Door prizes will be given out. Refreshments by Purple
Cucumber will be available.
