OUR COMMUNITY

Catch up with what your fellow Cooper members are doing.

 

A Cooper Fitness Center tradition, our annual Member Appreciation Picnic was held May 21. The weather cooperated as members, teammates and their families enjoyed dinner, live music, face painting and lawn games. Thank you to our vendors, with entertainment from The Tu-Tones, photo booth by Joy Squad Dallas Photo Booth and a healthy-inspired Greek picnic catered by Heart to Heart Catering. View photos.

Members took a spin on our new Keiser bikes in Myzone Zone Match cycling classes May 6-9. On their ride, they worked to achieve various levels of intensity—based on the heart rate zones—and learned about on-demand cycling classes also available in the studio.

 

 

Run, bike and swim! Our six-week Youth Triathlon Training Clinic led by Swim Pro Marni Kerner wrapped up on May 7 with a mini-triathlon. Congratulations to our youth athletes who biked, swam and ran to the finish line with some of the cheering parents joining in the last mile.

Member Cyndi Barnes with Jessica Lu, Cooper Quest Wellness Manager

Kudos to member Cyndi Barnes, an excellent ambassador for our Cooper Quest program! She completed last quarter's Functional Fitness Challenge and received her foam roller to continue working on her functional fitness. Cyndi checked off her Cardiovascular Fitness Assessment during Cooper Quest Week in May and is participating in our current Kickstart Your Heart challenge.

 

 

The Small Group Training Spring Shape Up class finished strong on May 6. The month-long strength and cardio interval training program also included nutrition guidance, pre and post measurements and a Myzone® heart rate monitor.
