Some may concider Tamarac biger and better but many of us do not like the glitze but pefer our White Cloud home. For many of us Tamerac is not affordable or logical to spend that much on gas or what it cost to belong. It would be a real hardship for many. How Sad! Fitness is so important but so are the friends made at a place like WC

I wouldn't be able to keep it up and would be forced to quit. In the 3 months I have been attending gerber life I have lost weight and toned not only that it has made my back stronger as I have had back surgery.

]]> Thu, 11 Sep 2008 10:48:10 UTC 4141295 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/4137069?utm_medium=rss Please keep this wonderful facility open. With the price of gas and the time it takes to travel to surrounding areas, quality wellness facilities are not easily accessible to our community. Thank you!

The facility in White Cloud is the only place to play racquetball in the county. Racquetball is my main stress reliever & exercise resource. I would consider moving out of the county if the facility closes!

Many of them not only have limited resources, but are also dealing with health issues such as obesity and Type II diabetes. It is imperative that there is local place like the Wellness Center available for the community to use. If another place in WC closes, they may want to "roll up the sidewalks".

]]> Tue, 9 Sep 2008 01:28:42 UTC 4123100 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/4121374?utm_medium=rss I would be very sorry to see this close as there is no way I could travel to Fremont. I go three times a week and it has really helped me alot.

]]> Tue, 9 Sep 2008 10:00:59 UTC 4121374 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/4120857?utm_medium=rss I've enjoyed using the wellness center for six years. Its not much when compared to other Gyms, but it taught me the fundementals and the importance of exercise. I look at exercise as an investment in ones health. Studies have shown that exercising daily is one of the best things a person can do to stay healthy,both physically and mentally. If more people exercised, I suspect that healthcare costs wouldnt be near as high as they are now. What kind of message is GMHS sending here? Its shameful.

I would be very upset if the WC site closed for I use the the Life Wellness more than I do the Tamarac because of it's location.

]]> Tue, 9 Sep 2008 07:06:28 UTC 4119775 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/4119445?utm_medium=rss Please keep the facility open!

]]> Tue, 9 Sep 2008 06:09:01 UTC 4119445 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/4117186?utm_medium=rss Please keep this open for the health of the town.

]]> Mon, 8 Sep 2008 08:09:07 UTC 4117186 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/4116401?utm_medium=rss Life Wellness is awesome! I know that many members of the community enjoy it! It is close to home and has a wide variety of equipment. Please don't close it!!!

It provides a safe and economical center for community health.

I would not be able to attend if I had to go to Fremont or Newaygo. We lose a lot of businesses in White Cloud - we really need to keep this for the health of the patrons to attend there.

I will NOT drive to fremont. I use the center 2 or 3 times a week. I have been a member for 15 or 16 years.

]]> Mon, 8 Sep 2008 09:31:30 UTC 4112279 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/4112214?utm_medium=rss It is the only place locally that we have.

]]> Mon, 8 Sep 2008 09:26:23 UTC 4112214 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/4112202?utm_medium=rss I am a member of Tamarakc but I work in WC and look forward to using the WC facility afer work.

My son, Preston, takes advantage over the summer months and loves it. We have so little to offer our kids in White Cloud that this was a blessing. I hope that it can remain a part of our community.

]]> Mon, 8 Sep 2008 09:11:34 UTC 4112049 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/4111988?utm_medium=rss Mon, 8 Sep 2008 09:06:51 UTC 4111988 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/4111939?utm_medium=rss This is a vital place for my mother who is unable to travel far and has health issues that require her to attend the gym 3 days a week. It may critically affect her health and well being to lose this facility. As to myself, I use this facility in the winter and would hate to have to go out of town.

I will not drive to Fremont and will not use the Tamarac.

]]> Mon, 8 Sep 2008 08:24:41 UTC 4111402 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/4111235?utm_medium=rss It would be a huge loss for this community if this facility closes. Fremont is too far for many of us to travel to continue to support Gerber and their workout facilities.

]]> Mon, 8 Sep 2008 08:09:01 UTC 4111235 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/4111000?utm_medium=rss There are many Newaygo County Employees who utilize this fitness center. It's so convenient to be able to stop right after work. We get a good workout and we motivate each other to stay healthy with exercise. We also compete on wallyball teams twice a week and that is the best workout. Please keep the White Cloud Wellness Facility open. There is so little to do in this town and it would be a shame to see yet another business that residents truly use, leave this town.

I play once or twice weekly 6 months a year.

]]> Fri, 5 Sep 2008 01:59:28 UTC 4096833 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/4096663?utm_medium=rss With few avenues of recreation in White Cloud for all ages, perhaps activities can be re-focused toward teens, elderly, church and social organizations. Perhaps an association with the local school system? There are also racquetball and wallyball players in the local area. Continue to promote fitness!

Due to gas prices, time in driving, and the increased memebership costs...the Tamarac in Fremont is not an option for myself and many people in the area. Even though the White Cloud location might not be a money maker, it's a great community resource that the people of the area appreicate and reflects well on Gerber as a whole.

Due to the poor economy, it is impossible for these families to drive to Fremont. Please rethink the closing because there will be a huge gap in services.

The fitness center fits in with a need here and should remain open, plus it is a positive operation for the City o White Cloud.

]]> Fri, 5 Sep 2008 10:46:36 UTC 4095309 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/4095213?utm_medium=rss I work in White Cloud and though not currently signed up, have been a member off and on and hope it continues to be an option for the community.

I work for the county and go during lunch hour with other county employees. I, along with many others, will not go to Tamarac due to time, expense, etc. We are trying to promote fitness and if it is closed, we are doing just the opposite. I beg you to find a way to keep it open. Our health may depend on it!

Please leave the center open for us. With todays health issues this very much needed in our community.

]]> Fri, 5 Sep 2008 08:04:38 UTC 4093128 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/4093124?utm_medium=rss Please keep the Wellness Center doors open here in White Cloud. With gas prices rising, the community needs this place. And what a shame that you removed physical therapy. Our entire staff at the county buildings benefits from the White Cloud location. I fear that if you close, the numbers will drop at the county for those who work out regularly at this location. Many peoples personal health will be affected by the closing of the Wellness Center in White Cloud.

]]> Fri, 5 Sep 2008 08:04:28 UTC 4093124 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/4093087?utm_medium=rss It is reasonable and convient for my husband to use during lunch time & afterwork. Cannot afford to go to Tamarack
