We hope you've been making the most of this beautiful weather and enjoying some exercise in the sunshine! We have lots of important updates to get to this month, but first some personnel notes:
Vincent will cover Laam's classes (POP Pilates, Kickboxing, Core & More and Zumba) and Isha will cover Sophia's classes (Yoga) while they're away in May. Sophia will also be subbing Asia's Yoga classes while she's out. You can check the online calendar for all class updates.
Welcome back Elijah to the front desk following his 3-month study abroad experience in Italy! A big thank you to all the front desk subs that stepped in while he was away.
Also, please note that Ignite BioFitness will be closed on Monday, May 27th in observance of Memorial Day.
See you soon!

Here's What's Happening in May...
NEW IN RECOVERY: The Dry Sauna
The Dry Sauna is now available for 1-hour reservations from 7 am to 7:45 pm. Reservations must be made in advanced to allow for heating prep time for your appointment. The dry sauna is located in the pool area, so a bathing suit is recommended for use. Grab the water bucket and ladle at the front desk to elevate your experience!
Here are a few other protocols to consider when using the dry sauna:
Please do not wear any outdoor shoes in the dry sauna.
Water for the bucket must be filled from the locker room and not the pool.
Cold plungers may need access to the sauna during your appointment time.

NEW IN RECOVERY: The Cold Plunge
Now also available is our new Cold Plunge, also located in the pool area. A cold-water immersion tutorial is required for first-time users from a staff member to ensure safety and proper use.
