In the month of April, we want to test a new feedback system. The idea is to create a system in which members use an amenity and are able to tell us about their experience while it is still fresh on their mind. We want to test this on a trial basis in our group fitness classes. Based on the results, we will decide if the system merits continuation and becoming an addition to all amenities. This system will operate via scannable QR codes within the amenity space. In this case, members will be able to scan a QR code, with their smartphone, and tell us about their experience with just a few clicks. Please take advantage of this time to help us evaluate the feedback system and let us know how our Group Fitness Classes are doing!

Starting in April, Wellness Manager Trey Whittemore will be dedicating time each week to answer questions in the Wellness Center Exercise Room. Hours will be Monday’s from 10:00AM – 11:00AM and Wednesday’s from 1:00PM – 2:00PM. Trey is a certified personal trainer and will be happy to answer any questions you may have about using equipment or exercise technique.

In November of 2023, the Parks & Recreation Department surveyed members concerning their satisfaction with Wellness Center amenities. We want you to know, we heard you! Since that time, we have taken account of members’ greatest concerns, made plans for how to address them, and taken action. In the interest of transparency, we have created a PowerPoint to display the information we gathered, and where we are at in the process of addressing these concerns through Q1 of 2024. Attached below is a link to the aforementioned PowerPoint. It is our hope to continue to let you know, we hear your feedback and intend to use it to better our amenities for all. Thank you to everyone who took the time to share your thoughts!
