Members and Friends,
The month of April was a very eventful month! We hope that you enjoyed your weekly treats and member appreciation parties as a way for us to say "thank you" for being an integral part of our amazing ZUM family. Don't forget to sign the designated Pillar based on your membership start date and grab your member t-shirt at the front desk. Grab any one of the ZUM staff for assistance at any time!
In this newsletter our feature article spotlights our very own Scott Hughes (trainer), and members, Trish Zuccotti and Pat Hackett at the National Masters Weightlifting Championship. We congratulate Trish and Pat on winning gold in their respective divisions!
Enjoy reading about some exciting class announcements and events coming up in these next two months!
Yours in Health, ZUM Staff

ZUM Members Win National Masters Weightlifting Championships
The sport of weightlifting consists of two exercises, the snatch and the clean-and-jerk. "Beyond the obvious strength and flexibility required, I am just fascinated by the mental aspect. It takes complete focus to perform a lift; and if you don't think the weight will go up, it won't go up. It's that simple." said Pat.
Both women are trained by Scott Hughes, the 1992 Drug-free National Powerlifting Champion and the 2005 Lightweight National Strongman Champion. Scott's calmness and understanding of each individual's needs, and his ability to be there 100% for his athletes, allow them to perform at their best under pressure.
Next stop for Trish and Pat is the World Masters Weightlifting Championships to be held in Ciechanow, Poland, this fall. Trish won the Worlds in Hungary in 2008, setting three new world records, and said, "It is just an unbelievable thrill to win at the Worlds and hear the United States National Anthem played."

FACILITY UPDATES
SAUNAS: Did you know that ZUM's new saunas are energy efficient? If you are planning to use the sauna, please remember to turn it on before your shower and give it about 15 minutes before use. (That does not mean we encourage a 15 minute shower of course). Thanks for helping ZUM be green!
THE CHANDELIER & THE OLD "ZUM" SIGN: Both of these icons have made it all the way from 5th and Bell and still makes quite an impression! What a sight- we hope you enjoy.
THROWING WALL: Is complete and ready for action....throw away!
BLINDS: Are installed for privacy in the Mind Body Studio.
