Dear Valued Member,
Tonight Jewish communities across the world will celebrate Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. This holiday begins the annual cycle of Jewish holidays that take place in the Fall.
This year, these holidays will fall mostly on the weekends over the next month. Please note that there will be some changes to our regular schedule. For your convenience, please consult the schedules of our special operating hours at the Ben Weider JCC and West Island JCC.
From all of us at the YM-YWHA to you: Best wishes for a happy, healthy and sweet new year!

Improving Your Member Experience: Repairs to Locker Rooms and Shower
Facilities
At the YM-YWHA we are always
working to improve your member experience. In parallel with building the new
Ben Weider Fitness Centre of Excellence, we are undertaking repairs to the
locker room and health club facilities at the Ben Weider JCC.
This past week our
maintenance staff repaired the tiles in the women's general locker
room. The work was performed 3 days ahead of schedule and the showers in
the women's general locker room re-opened on Thursday September 18th.
In the coming weeks, we will
begin repairs on the women's health club showers, followed by the men's health
club and steam room, and concluding with work to the general men's locker room
shower facilities and replacement of the sink counter tops.
We are doing our best to
minimize the impact on our members, and we apologize for any inconvenience
during the renovations.

Update on the Ben Weider Fitness Centre of Excellence: Jacobs Ladder
 If you're wondering what's in store when we open the new Ben Weider Fitness Centre of Excellence, here's a sneak peek:
Jacobs Ladder is a patented commercial cardio machine specifically designed for fitness enthusiasts, athletes and professionals. Its unique design places the user at a 40° angle in order to take stress off of the lower back.
Because Jacobs Ladder is self-paced, the faster you go, the faster it goes. In order to stop, just slow down. Jacobs Ladder is also self-powered, so without the need for an electrical outlet, it can be placed anywhere in the facility.

The workouts will consist of on and off the bike training, designed to get you progressively stronger throughout your movements, while providing ways to measure your improving fitness on the bike.
