HQ Happenings | January 14th, 2022
HealthQuest Happenings
New Stretching Class Added to the Group Fitness Schedule!
Register for class Tuesdays at 11:30am

We’ve welcomed to the team, Grace Parker, a trainer and licensed neuromuscular massage therapist.
With her arrival, we’re excited to begin a new “Stretch and Release” 30-minute group fitness class that can be found on the schedule Tuesdays at 11:30am.

Designed with a fusion of stretching and soft tissue release for muscle recovery and preventing injury. Improving range of motion and posture creates a mobile body, and a mobile body is the foundation of reaching your fitness goals.

Fitness Center Notice
Reviewing Fitness Center Rules for Bags:

Based on popular demand, we have added 2 cubbies with 9 compartments each to the fitness center floor. With that, we ask that you store any gym items here (personal items should still be stored in locker room or express lockers).

We will be steadily enforcing this policy with absolutely no bags allowed in the free weight area. Small or reasonably sized bags will be allowed in other areas of the gym during off-peak hours. Large gym bags will not be allowed anywhere on the fitness floor at any time.

We thank you for your cooperation to this rule with safety of all members top of mind.
Pelvic Floor 101
Hosted by: Lara Seligman-Russo PT, DPT
Saturday, January 15th – 12-2pm

Peeing when you laugh (or cough) is common but not normal! This workshop, brought to you by the Pilates Studio at HealthQuest, will cover basic anatomy, types of incontinence, common misconceptions, bladder irritants and “kegels” vs. “down training”. You’ll also leave the workshop with resources, strategies and exercises for the pelvic floor.

This workshop costs $20 for HQ Members (member guests are also welcome) but space is limited so please register via you HealthQuest member portal/mobile app or contact the Pilates Studio at [email protected] or (908)-782-4009 x280.
