This 45 to 60 minute session is designed to introduce you to our equipment and the basic components of exercise. It will include a personal
workout card that our fitness staff will note seat heights and other information for your future use. Orientations are given by appointment
only. To schedule an orientation call or email Kim Warner, Fitness Manager at (513) 745-8435 or kwarner@blueash.com. New members are
encouraged to take advantage of this FREE service. Please note that anyone under the age of 16 is required to complete an orientation
before using the fitness center.

PERSONAL TRAINING
One of our nationally certified personal trainers will design a specialized program and work one on one with you to help you attain your
personal goals. First, you will need to schedule an initial consultation. The consultation consists of a meeting in which we will establish your
fitness goals, and take you through a series of assessments (wear workout clothes). Before your first “hands on” training session your personal
trainer will use the information acquired during the initial consultation to design a program for you. The number of training sessions you
purchase is dependent on your needs. Individual trainer information and fees can be found below. Please directly contact the trainer best
suited for your needs to set up an appointment. For general information contact Andrew Falk, Facility Operations Manager, at 513-745-6262
or afalk@blueash.com.

GROUP TRAINING
Interested in something a little more affordable than personal training and more personalized than a group fitness class? Our trainers have
specific hourly rates for training individually as well as with groups, but if you have 3 or more people and are interested in committing to a
longer time frame (typically between 4 and 8 weeks) then we offer more affordable individual rates for group sessions. Rates may vary slightly
depending upon the type of session that is being offered (Yoga, TRX, Cycling, Kettlebell, General Boot Camp, etc). If you would like to create
your own group training class with 3 or more of your friends, feel free to contact any of our trainers directly.

A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM
Lysander loves Hermia. Hermia loves Lysander. Demetrius loves Hermia. Helena loves Demetrius. No one loves Helena (poor Helena). This byzantine love

mischievous fairies armed with a potent love potion. Throw a scorned queen, a donkey’s head, and a troupe of enthusiastically inept actors into the fray, and
before you know it you’ll be howling “Lord, what fools these mortals be!” Bring a chair or blanket and meet us under the canopy!
