Hello Gators, As many of you are aware, the Spring Valley Y will be closed for the next 2 weeks as a safety precaution due to the Coronavirus. Our country is going through something we most likely have not seen in our lifetime, so every precaution is being taken to protect everyone from this virus. That being said, there are still a lot of things you can do to continue your healthy lifestyle. Several members of our Leadership Team and Coaching Team had a conference call last night to discuss different ways the club can support one another during these trying times. We fully understand that everyone has different feelings on what is going on right now with the pandemic. Whether you want to join in small groups outside, workout on your own, or prefer to stay inside as much as possible, we completely understand and respect your decision. Our goal is to support our club members as best we can in ways that will accommodate them personally. I would first like to thank Don Mack who immediately made himself available last night to share the trainers that were available at the Y before it closed and also to the many individuals who have offered their trainers to others to use the next few weeks. YOU ALL ROCK! As the weather is changing, we are hoping to get a few outdoor cycling and running workouts scheduled as well as virtual training to keep each other engaged in our activities. We are figuring this out and will keep everyone updated via our Facebook Page and email distributions. Please stay tuned for Pop-Up Training Events. One of the online resources that helps everyone engage in workouts and accountability for our club is Strava. If you are not already a member on our GATORS page, please friend us at SV Multisport Gators or by clicking this link: [ https://www.strava.com/clubs/svmsgators](https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.strava.com%2Fclubs%2Fsvmsgators%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR38LHcRmjPE6hBxtkEya27dQEfPH6AVQXDs6TwIwcVNW2PyP6dMCxKi120&h=AT3aiUH-a-3vwsyLykYDRNZTRUCk-7JBMbg7RYJ4FI2qNknmYm6MGg-vaMi6L9TF0P7R0aUKbXAaHXLnKT4H5yySn16QWoBPOd5imyaW9KtZJLC_GSS_cyfRY58kvJ2EHJ_hVbSS) Another one of our online resources is Training Peaks. Our coaches are going to add some additional workouts into Training Peaks that can be done at home that may include Cycling, Running and Weight Training to keep you active at home. A third online option is Zwift. This is an online cycling app. We previously recorded a few classes where we explained what Zwift was and showed individuals how to set up their bikes for this program. We will be reposting these videos that you can watch at home. Please feel free to ask any questions that you might have to get your bike up and running. Due to swimming pool restraints, Don Mack will be making some changes to our Gators Fitness Challenge - so please stay tuned for updates. As mentioned above, everyone is reacting differently to our current state of emergency, so please take in consideration everyone feelings and reactions to what is going on around us. Our Leadership and Coaching Team is available if you have any questions about training, workout plans… even how to get a skewer on your bike so don’t hesitate to ask. Our GOAL is to support one another until we can get back on track with our regular routine. Thank you… Wash Your Hands and Stay Healthy Gators, Gina
