If you haven’t been to our downtown club lately, you might want to check it out. We had our annual maintenance shutdown last weekend, where along with the usual deep cleaning, we did some painting, replaced the carpet and added a new aerobics storage area.
Notice to all members! We are currently experiencing an emergency Pool closure. There is a new filter system being installed in our pool, so the pool will be closed for the weekend. However, all of the hot tubs are still in operation and we should open back up on Monday at around 3:00 PM. Lucky for us, the weather looks like it’ll cool off, so spend some time outside this weekend and we’ll look forward to seeing everyone back in the water next week!
We will be closing for our annual maintenance shutdown on Friday, August 17 – Sunday, August 19th. We will reopen on Monday, August 20th at 5:00 AM.
Our Cordata location will be open:
Friday 5:30 AM – 10:00 PM
Saturday 7:00 AM – 9:00 PM
Sunday 7:00 AM – 9:00 PM

The “Stork” is a static hip exercise for strengthening and activating the lateral Gluteals, Gluteus Medius, Gluteuas Minimus, and the Piriformis muscles. This set of external hip rotators are responsible for abducting the leg out away from the body, rotating your leg outward, and stabilizing your femur at the hip. Non-activity and injury can cause this group to become weak which can affect the overall performance of your hip complex, affecting your gait and in some cases cause knee, hip, and lower back pain.
A static exercise like the “Stork” means that the exercise requires you to hold the position for a set duration, much the same as an isometric where the limbs and joints do not move but the muscles are contracted. The duration can be as short as 10-20 seconds to as much as 30-60 seconds depending on the prescription.
To perform the “Stork” take an inflatable balance disc, foam pad, or even a moderately firm pillow and place it against the wall. Turn sideways to the wall so that your shoulder is next to the wall with your feet about shoulder width a part. Lift the leg closest to the wall and trap the disc between your lower thigh and the wall with your leg not quite 90 degrees. Stand tall and put your wall side hand on the wall for balance. Begin by driving your body into the disc with you outside leg. Your wall side hip should not touch the wall. Keep the outside leg straight throughout with the body tall. Hold for the prescribed duration and repeat on both sides 2-3 times. Please see our BAC Personal Trainers to learn more about the “Stork”.
