When the new 25-yard-long pool debuted at the Griffin Club this summer, it could not have come at a better time. We were just coming out of lockdown, and we werent sure how people would respond to private clubs, says John Myers, the Griffin Clubs director of membership. Were lucky that we have a lot of outdoor space, though, and our demand is as high as its ever been.

Drawn to the safe, private environment, members have long been fans of the clubs low-key, inclusive atmosphere, providing eight tennis courts, indoor and outdoor dining, and a range of fitness classes, from yoga and spin to boot camp.

The club is full of expansive outdoor areas, which can be reserved in advance.

Post-COVID, the club has tweaked its operations to accommodate new safety standards. Previously, everything was on a first-come, first-served basis, but now members can use the clubs app to book time-allotted spaces for dining, exercise, and pool cabanas. Slots are even staggered to allow 30 minutes of cleaning time in between guest usage. Meals can also be ordered through the app for pick up, and the staff receives biweekly COVID tests.

Our first pool was family oriented, and we built the second one to be more adult focused, but with COVID, and everyone needing more space, weve opened it up to families, says Myers, who also points out that the club is the only one in Los Angeles to offer two outdoor pools. Weve also had a lot of demand for our tennis program, with private lessons and small groups being the focus.

The property dates back to 1926, when it catered to Hollywood celebrities.

Myers also notes that the clubs summer camp was expanded this year, with more camp counselors to supervise smaller groups of kids, and no more than nine to a group. With most camps closed, we were able to hire a great quality of counselors for the program to lead arts and crafts and contactless outdoor games. Everyone wore masks and kept to small groupsplus, it was ideal for our members whose families were quarantining in pods anyway, he says.

The Griffin Club is located on four acres near Century City.

The club dates back to 1926, when it was a tennis club that catered to the Hollywood crowd. It now occupies four acres just south of Century City, and in addition to the expansive outdoor spaces, a two-story clubhouse has sports and fitness facilities and locker rooms. Membership types include tennis, family, and individual, and start at $2,000 for junior members, $5,000 for individuals, and $12,000 for families.

'21 Fitness Pitfalls to Avoid,' According to Pat Sherwood | Morning Chalk Up

Photo Credit: CrossFit, LLC

Weve all been there. Youre spending hours in the gym, but seeing almost no improvements in your fitness.

Thats where Pat Sherwood, owner of CrossFit Linchpin in Tacoma, WA, a long-time employee of CrossFit LLC, and well-known media personality, comes in, with a list 21 common fitness pitfalls to avoid.

The pitfalls:

But, he points out, that this added stress and expectation makes the time at the gym less fun. Youre just working out, he continues, It has nothing to do with if you are a good or bad person.

The bottom line: Sherwood is quick to disclaim that he has made a number of these mistakes, and hes not here to tell anyone what theyve done wrong in training.

'21 Fitness Pitfalls to Avoid,' According to Pat Sherwood - Morning Chalk Up

With winter almost here, exercising outside becomes a bit more challenging, especially if you don't like cold weather. Area gyms are hoping to attract people for indoor workouts despite the ongoing pandemic.

DULUTH, Minn. With winter almost here, exercising outside becomes a bit more challenging, especially if you dont like cold weather. Area gyms are hoping to attract people for indoor workouts despite the ongoing pandemic.

They still only allow 25% capacity, but area gym operators are hopeful lower temperatures will mean more customers.

The kickboxing gym 9Round in Duluth is definitely getting busier as the colder months get closer.

With COVID still spreading, the gym continues spacing out its clients six to eight feet apart to keep everyone safe.

A lot of people have been coming in knowing that its going to get cold and we already felt that in October and so we had a huge push in October of people coming in, not wanting to run outside anymore, cause we know that the negative temps are coming, said Maddy Johnson, the general manager at 9Round.

After being closed at the start of the pandemic, most gyms like 9Round have now reopened and customer numbers here have gone up recently as people look for ways to normalize their routines and schedules.

It was a huge sigh of relief when it was announced that we could reopen after being closed for so long and having to do the online things, said Geoff Rich, the owner of 9Round. I think people like to do especially this type of fitness in person because they dont have one hundred pound bags at home. They dont have speed bag. I think were handling it well. Im definitely very pleased to have the opportunity to be open even at the 25%.

Minnesota gyms and fitness centers are not required to have clients wear a face mask during exercise, but procedures to keep surroundings clean and sanitized remain strict to help make indoor workouts more appealing as the pandemic continues.

Founder of R Walk Fitness Rylan Curtis. Photo courtesy Rylan Curtis

It is easier to say you want to go to the gym than it is to commit to leading a healthy lifestyle. However, one FAMU student is committed to a healthy lifestyle and helping others along the way.

Rylan Curtis is a pre-physical therapy major from Houston, and he is the founder of R Walk Fitness. His business is designed to help others on their healthy lifestyle journey physically and mentally.

A few years ago Curtis thought of the idea of his own fitness business but chose to push it aside in while he focused on himself. However when COVID-19 put America on lockdown he revisited the idea and started his training business at home.

The motto for R Walks is commit, dont quit, and get fit, which is inspired by Curtis journey into a healthy lifestyle.

In summer of 2018 Curtis developed anxiety, which put him in a bad space mentally and physically and also affected his consistency with working out and eating right. However, he decided to commit to working out which helped him gain his strength both physically and mentally.

Last summer he was able to train 30-40 people in his neighborhood working primarily with children in different age group sessions. He also held private sessions for adults and even helped a few adults achieve their goal in losing weight.

I saw how African Americans specifically were more adversely impacted by COVID-19 due to predisposing factors. The healthier your body is the more prepared you are to fight off this disease. Even though people who are healthy suffer from this disease, its better to live a healthy lifestyle, Curtis said.

He brought his business to FAMU and has made affordable training sessions available to students. Curtis understands that college students may want to live a healthy lifestyle but may be misguided on how to do so and not able to afford an expensive trainer.

Zachary Bell is a client and friend of Curtis and has been led by his friend to get fit.

Rylan has inspired me to take care of not only my mental health but my physical health, by letting me know that its never too late to reshape or reform your body, Bell said.

Another client, Tamerry Carry, has seen how Curtis has been able to impact the FAMU campus by partnering with different organizations with fitness events. Curtis also recently appeared on Beyond the Sky, a new talk show powered by FAMUs School of Journalism and Graphic Communication.

I noticed after Rylan put out his promo video for the business that FAMU organizations have had a lot more fitness events that Rylan was hosting. It shows that the students liked what they saw and wanted to be a part of it, Carry said.

Upon graduating Curtis would like to go to graduate school but also continue his business and continue to expand it by purchasing property and turning it into a gym. Curtis is committed to helping others get fit.

A workout buddy is a wonderful thing to have. If theyre just a smidge stronger or faster than you, theyll inspire you to push yourself just a little bit more. But its hard to find someone whos at the exact right level of fitnessand whose company you enjoy. The better solution might be to find yourself an accountability buddy.

In this partnership, you and the other person dont have to be matched on any physical metric. You just have to share the goal of working out consistently, and keep each other on track. Weve discussed this concept before with regard to yourfinances andworking from home. Its the same idea with fitness.

It looks something like this: you and your friendor a small group of friendsagree on your goals moving forward, and how youll met them. Then you check in with each other regularly to make sure youre all sticking with what you planned.

This can be a simple check-in by text: I did my morning workout, did you? Or you and your friend can agree to do the same workout program. Maybe you set up a Zoom call and do your workouts at the same time. Or maybe you just both hit play on an exercise video at the same time and talk afterward about how it went. The important thing is that youre accountable to somebody. The two of you can encourage each other, and you know that if you dont do your part, youll be leaving them in the lurch.

It doesnt matter if theyre stronger or faster than you. Youll be connecting on a level of motivation and consistency, so pick somebody who will push you to do your best. That friend who is just a little better at getting up in the morning, perhaps?

G/O Media may get a commission

If you tend to talk yourself out of workouts, dont pair up with somebody who will just encourage your laziness. On the other hand, if you sometimes go a little too hard, pick somebody who will remind you of the importance of rest days rather than someone who will egg you on.

You might already be thinking of someone in your life who you might like to pair up with. But if nobody comes to mind, there are a few places you can start looking.

First, check fitness communities on places like Reddit (r/xxfitness and r/weightroom, for example, or find a group that caters to your favorite sport or activity). Sometimes people post in those groups asking for buddies or asking to form a small accountability group. You can also just start posting in the daily threads about what youre doing, and chances are youll start to make friends that way too.

Similarly, there are forums out there for every sport and pastime. Peloton allows people to find each other and form groups and friendships, for example. Search Facebook for your location and your favorite outdoor activity and youll find fellow trail runners or rock climbers or like-minded fans of whatever you love to do. Another option is to look for Discord servers where people discuss fitness or the specific sport youre interested in.

You can also use other social media platforms, like Instagram, to start posting about what you do and checking in with friends. Half the point of having an accountability buddy is that you have to decide what it is you want to do, and state those intentions out loud. The buddy is just an audience for you to speak to; your intentions and your commitment are really coming from within you.

Elliptical Fitness Machines Market Report to Share Key Aspects of The Industry with The Details of Influence Factors- 2026 - re:Jerusalem

The fitness tracker options available right now are as good as they've ever been. If you want a mix of fitness tracking and smartwatch features in a band-style design, the Amazfit Band 5 and the Fitbit Charge 4 are two of the strongest options to consider.

The Band 5 comes in below 50 while Fitbit's flagship tracker sits a little closer to 100 price mark. So could you actually save yourself some money by paying less and going for Amazfit's tracker?

Wareable verdict: Amazfit Band 5 review | Fitbit Charge 4 review

We've comprehensively tested both of these top fitness trackers to help answer that question.

From design to how they'll monitor your health, we break down how the Fitbit Charge 4 compares to the Amazfit Band 5.

We've already alluded to the price difference, so how much will you have to pay for the Charge 4 and the Amazfit Band 5?

Let's get into what that money gets you in terms of a fitness tracker.

It's fair to say these fitness trackers offer very different looks on your wrist. With the Band 5, you're getting a TPU strap matched up with a 1.1-inch AMOLED display.

On the Charge 4, you're getting an interchangeable elastomer band and a 1-inch, monochrome display. Fitbit's tracker offers cleaner, straighter lines, while Amazfit opts for a design with a softer, more curved look.

There's no physical buttons on show on either tracker with Fitbit opting to build its button into the case. Amazfit uses a capacitive one that sits below the screen.

Our preference is with Amazfit on this one and find it more responsive to use than Fitbit's setup.

The Band 5 isn't cheap or tacky, but it's very much a sport fitness band. The Charge 4 meanwhile offers a range of high quality bands that let you dress up or down the look.

You don't get quite the same luxury with Amazfit's tracker, though you can pop the tracker out of the band and pair up with one of the other few TPU bands on offer.

With the displays, for us there's only one winner and that's the cheaper Amazfit. Its brighter, more colourful AMOLED screen is a significant step up from what you get on the Charge 4.

While you might get a screen that appears bigger in comparison on the Charge, it's pretty drab looking and hard to see in bright outdoor conditions.

Cheap picks: Best fitness trackers under 50

If you're hoping for something that's always-on, you don't have that on either tracker. You do have the raise to wake gesture support, which we'd say is more responsive on the Amazfit.

In terms of water resistance, it's level pegged. You're getting the ability to submerge them in water up to 50 metres depth and both let you track your activity in the pool.

So lets get into the nitty gritty of what these trackers are capable of and we'll start with the sensors, which unlock that unlocks that tracking.

With the Charge 4, you're getting an accelerometer to track indoor activity and things like step counts. It's also used to enable automatic sleep monitoring.

There's an optical heart rate monitor that can be used to provide data during exercise and in workout intensity maps for outdoor workouts. It's also used for continuous monitoring to help you monitor your current state of fitness and will also offer richer sleep metrics.

You're also getting an altimeter to track elevation like stairs climbed and you're also getting built-in GPS on a Charge tracker for the first time.

With the Amazfit, you're getting similar motion sensors to unlock similar features like step tracking and sleep monitoring.

There's an optical sensor that's used for continuous and workout-based heart rate tracking and enables SpO2 readings to measure blood oxygen levels. It also has connected GPS, so unlike the Charge 4, you need your phone nearby to track outdoor activities. It's also missing an altimeter, which means you can't track elevation with the Band 5 either.

In terms of fitness tracking performance, we'd say this is where the Charge 4 just about edges it from an accuracy point of view.

You do have, what we think, is a more reliable heart rate monitor for all-day tracking and step counts were generally reliable too. It also offers more accurate sleep tracking too.

While the Amazfit wasn't a terrible performer, we just think as a package, you're getting a bit more on the accuracy front. Particularly for heart rate and sleep.

For sports tracking, we think it's just about with the Charge 4 on this one as well, but the Band 5 is a decent performer for things like pool swimming and tracking indoor activities like indoor rowing.

Outdoor tracking is where it let itself down for us with its connected GPS support proving to be mostly unreliable for accurately tracking distance and other metrics. T

he Charge 4's GPS tracking isn't perfect, but if you're a casual runner and place less emphasis on streams of metrics, then it does a good job. Pool swimming is reliable too, though does stick to the data basics.

If you care about heart rate performance, we'd say the Charge 4 again offers more solid results compared to the Band 5. Whether that's all-day tracking or exercise tracking.

Both struggle with high intensity workouts where heart rate spikes and drops rapidly, but the Charge 4 performed better for us. You don't have the ability to pair up with external heart rate sensors here, so you reliant on those optical heart rate sensors built in doing the job.

In terms of health tracking, both offer women's health tracking features, guided breathing exercises and insights like resting heart rate. If you look at the hardware and the platform as a whole, We think Fitbit's package will offer you more on this front currently.

When you're not our cycling or sweating it out in the gym, both trackers offer the ability to be used like smartwatches.

They both work with Android and iOS and we generally didn't experience any noticeable issues on the pairing and syncing front with either devices.

With the Charge 4, you're getting the ability to view notifications and send quick replies when paired to an Android phone.

You've got NFC to unlock Fitbit Pay contactless payments, the ability to customise clock faces and you can control music playing on your phone. Annoyingly though, you can't control music during workout tracking.

With the Band 5, you're getting notifications too, though no ability to respond to them. You can check the weather, set up event reminders and music controls that you can access during exercise.

You do also have access to Amazon's Alexa smart assistant. That's a feature currently also available on Fitbit's Versa 3 and Sense watches, but not on the Charge 4.

Notifications on the Band 5 can feel a little more cramped, though things like weather forecasts and clock faces look great on that AMOLED display.

Alexa support works well too, though the responses are read out to you as opposed to piped out through a speaker. That's because you're only getting a microphone on board here.

So they offer different things from a smartwatch point of view. We'd say Fitbit does a better job with notifications, but we like the fact that the Band 5 lets you access music during workouts and its collection of clock faces are much nicer to look at.

So what kind of battery life can you expect from these trackers? With the Charge 4, Fitbit claims up to 7 days and 5 hours when using GPS. With the Amazfit Band 5, there's the promise of 15 days in typical mode, 25 days in power saving mode and 90 days in standby mode.

Based on our testing, we'd say these trackers are good for a week's worth of use if you don't want to start thinking about having to disable features to push things further.

The Band 5 is certainly capable of more if you turn off features like continuous heart rate and stress monitoring. If you can live without those, then you can certainly get closer to those 15 days.

With the Charge 4, it's stuck to the same battery life it offered on the Charge 3. If you factor in regular use of the GPS, that will have a noticeable impact on battery life.

Bottom line, they're going to be good for a week, but the Amazfit Band 5 is certainly capable of giving you more.

Should you buy the Amazfit Band 5 or the Charge 4? As we've mentioned already, these two fitness trackers come in at different price points. Though they both do offer a solid performance overall. Here's our take:

Buy the Amazfit Band 5 if... you want a fitness tracker with a great display, bigger battery life and does a good job of the fitness tracking basics. The Alexa support is a nice bonus, but only if you're going to make regular use of it.

Buy the Fitbit Charge 4 if... you want a fitness tracker that offers more reliable accuracy for fitness and sports tracking and heart rate monitoring. It's got more of those key sensors that make a better job of it than the Amazfit Band. It's arguably a nicer looking device even though it lacks the great screen you get on the Band 5.

The Sun Prairie Anytime Fitness, located at 2071 McCoy Road, is collecting donations for Second Harvest Foodbank of Southern Wisconsin to help others in need this season. In exchange for a non-perishable food item, those who donate will receive a free 30-day membership.

Anytime Fitness has collected food for Second Harvest for the past seven years but has added the extra incentive to donate in response to the increased need for food assistance. Pre-pandemic, about 1 in 10 people in southern Wisconsin experienced food insecurity: they didnt know where they would get their next meal, or watered down their food just to make it stretch another day, or skipped eating dinner so their kids could eat.

Now the COVID-19 pandemic has brought that number to 1 in 8 people in Wisconsin facing hunger. Since March 15, Second Harvest has already seen a 56% increase in the amount of food they have distributed this year compared to 2019.

Recognizing the significant increase in need for food and knowing the role proper nutrition and exercise play in preventing disease and maintaining a strong immune system, Anytime Fitness owner Andy Gundlach said he hopes the free 30 day membership will result in more donations and more people adding exercise to their daily routine.

Last year members of Anytime Fitness of Southern Wisconsin collectively donated 3,996 pounds of non-perishable food to Second Harvest and local food banks. Helping others in need is good for your health, and my team is here to help members of our community feel their healthiest and happiest, Gundlach added. We hope to top that amount this year.

Second Harvest Foodbank of Southern Wisconsins mission is to end hunger in southern Wisconsin; learn more at https://www.secondharvestmadison.org/. Donations will be accepted at the Sun Prairie Anytime Fitness and 31 additional locations in southern Wisconsin during November. Free 30-day memberships will be offered through Nov. 30.
