The Hidden Benefits of Exercise

At the start of the New Year, as millions will rush to their local gym with resolutions to improve their health and fitness, medical experts are offering yet another reason to exercise.

According to an article in the Wall Street Journal, regular workouts may help fight off colds and flu, reduce the risk of certain cancers and chronic diseases, as well as slow the process of aging.

Article of the Month
 

What are those on your Feet??  

There is a new trend in footwear on the horizon. In fact, you may have noticed this trend at TELOS, in the news or simply out in public. This footwear craze is called

 ”Vibram FiveFingers”. You may have heard of them, and we predict that in coming years the popularity and demand of the FiveFingers will grow exponentially due to the significant amount of research on foot mechanics and shoe technology.

Steam Room Etiquette…
Numerous members have complained about individuals using the steam room and covering the thermostat with a towel to initiate more steam. Please discontinue this practice, as it increases the temperature beyond acceptable levels and negatively affects the experience of others. Thank you for your cooperation.
