6-week SMART Goal Challenge

A
        re you ready to make some new goals for fall? Let us help you get
        started by making them SMART goals! SMART stands for: Sustainable,
        Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely. This brand new, six-week
program we are offering allows you to work with a personal trainer once a
week as well as attend two classes of your choice, every week. In addition,
you will also receive a body composition analysis as well as diet and weight
tracking. To get started, you will meet with a certified trainer to create a
personalized program. If you are still wondering where to begin or just need
a little guidance, this program is for you. The benefits of having a regular
exercise routine include strength, toned muscles, weight management and
flexibility. Although the program is structured for weight loss and strength
building, you will also experience the rewards that create lifelong fitness.
In fact, studies show that exercise not only lowers the risk for life threatening
diseases, but also combats depression, anxiety and stress. The road to fitness
is a journey, not a race and it takes time to get rid of old habits and start new
ones. We want to help you find sustainable reasons to be healthy. If you stick
to the guidelines, you can lose weight. However, the real goal of the program
is to not only get you to your goals, but to keep you going down the fitness
path by creating healthy habits to last a lifetime. By now you probably know
that crash diets and the too-good-to-be-true scams do not work. The only true
way to get fit and stay fit is by creating a routine that you enjoy. So, let’s make
a healthy, sustainable and fun plan, for your life.
   The program includes one-on-one guidance from one of our certified
personal trainers whom you will meet with in the gym once a week. In addition,
you will also receive access to two fitness classes weekly, taught by our trainers
and fitness professionals at the Golden Community Center. Options for classes
range anywhere from dance and aerobics-based, to boot camp and weight
lifting. Trainers will also help keep you on track by monitoring your diet.
This will be your personalized plan just for you. If one of your goals is to lose
weight, you will be asked to chart everything you eat to keep you on track to
lose an average of 1-2 lbs. per week. A full body composition analysis is provided
at your first meeting. Look for more information on our registration page

   The original skate park opened in 1992,
but it was fairly basic and didn’t attract many skaters. In 2015, Golden City
Council awarded an $800,000 contract to Team Pain to redesign the skate park
into a state-of-the-art facility. Work began in May 2016 and by December of
that year, the park was ready to welcome skaters of all ages and skill levels.
The region is taking notice! Westword Magazine named Ulysses Skate Park the
best skate park in the Denver metro area for 2017.
   The Ulysses Sports Complex also features an off-leash dog park, five baseball
fields, a fitness loop, restrooms, soccer fields, and beautiful views. Come out
and enjoy all of the outdoor amenities this park has to offer!

                     kids are hardwired to learn through play and need to devote time and energy to
                     recreation activities. For that reason, we’ve designed an engaging, skill-building
                     curriculum in which “tots” learn through a series of fun and beneficial games.
                     They will acquire athletic skills and fitness but also develop an interest and love
                     of sports.

     appropriate games. We hike, we read, we sing, we create, we have art, we have large
     group activities, and small group activities, buddy activities, and quiet time. Socializing
     and providing a strong and positive social/emotional environment is our goal. The

     and even weeks are the splash weeks. We offer indoor swim every week.
     Field trips are an extra $10 cost and we are only able to take 20 campers due to space
