Idea Fair
BodyMind Connection
How has this idea enhanced your club's operation, etc.?
The Club at Ibis’ BodyMind ConnectionTM (BMC) program encourages Members to create their own optimal lifestyle by combining elements of fitness, nutrition, restoration, personal development, physical environment, relationships and communication. The BMC supports this initiative through various club events including the Annual Wellness Expo, lecture series, holiday fun runs, and awareness months.
By way of supporting Members’ overall physical and mental health, the club operates more sufficiently and the club membership is satisfied. Club operations run smoothly when the Members have positive experiences and are feeling their very best. Members of a club enjoy the feeling of being supported and cared for, and that is just what the BMC does at The Club at Ibis.
How was this idea implemented, and what have been the club members' reactions?
Teaching Videos: The Club produces healthy cooking videos right in our own kitchen with our own chefs. Members get to learn how to create some of their favorite healthy recipes that they normally order off a menu.
Fitness and Spa Concepts: The Club offers fitness classes and various spa treatments keeping the Members in shape and rejuvenated.
Swimming: The Club encompasses a resort style pool, offering water aerobics classes, and a lap pool.
Tennis/racquet sport ideas: The Club at Ibis has 16 Har-Tru tennis courts and four pickleball courts.
Wellness: Through fitness and social activities, health lectures are provided at the club on various topics.
On-Site Nutritionist: The Club employs a nutritionist who not only meets with Members one-on-one, but also hosts lectures, has developed nutrition programs that run four weeks at a time, and writes personalized nutrition programs for Members.
Recently, The Club at Ibis was recognized as one of America’s Healthiest Clubs by Prevo Health Solutions. This is a prestigious industry award that only a small percentage of private clubs have received. Not only was The Club at Ibis recognized, it earned the top ranking by exceeding the numeric score of every club assessed to date!
