What Changes Can You Expect?

Renovations continue at the Lake House on the fitness studio and dry sauna. Demolition is nearly complete as seen below:

What will look different?

The fitness studio will gain approximately 400 square feet of space. The room will be transformed into a more functional exercise space with a large glass panel folding wall that can be opened to allow for use of the new indoor / outdoor exercise patio.

The dry sauna will have a men’s and women’s side and will be able to accommodate 4-6 people each. Each sauna will be accessible from the men’s and women’s locker rooms, respectively, and will be a welcomed new amenity at the Lake House.

Benefits of Strength Training with Osteoporosis

On By SIPOAIn Fitness, Lake House, Wellness

Strength training can play an important role in supporting bone health for people with osteoporosis and osteopenia. When muscles contract and place controlled stress on bones, the body receives a signal to maintain and strengthen bone tissue. Regular resistance exercises, such as lifting weights, using resistance bands, or performing certain body-weight exercises, can help stimulate bone remodeling and may improve or maintain bone mineral density. Strength training also helps build muscle mass, which can provide greater support for the skeleton and contribute to better physical function.

For people with osteoporosis or osteopenia, strength training may offer benefits beyond bone density. Improving muscle strength, balance, and coordination can help people perform everyday activities more safely and may reduce the risk of falls. Since falls are a major concern for individuals with fragile bones, improving physical strength and stability can be an important part of an overall bone-health strategy.

Strength training is most effective when it is performed consistently and as part of a broader approach to bone health that may include adequate calcium and vitamin D, appropriate weight-bearing activity, good nutrition, and medical management when needed. People with osteoporosis or osteopenia should consider working with a healthcare professional or qualified exercise specialist to develop an exercise program suited to their individual needs. With proper technique, appropriate intensity, and gradual progression, strength training can be a valuable tool for maintaining bone strength, supporting mobility, and promoting long-term physical health.
