Just wanted to do a COVID 19 update review:…read more A few days ago was my 7th or 8th class back since Covid-19 shut everything down. I am a nervous person in general. I think anyone who meets me knows this. But, I need stop & have a round of applause for OTF Newtown, Pa. They are "killing" the germ game. But seriously, I was really nervous to come back. I even made my sister come back before me to test it out. The OTF staff told me I could come in before my first workout and see the cleaning protocols. I was met at the door with having my temp taken and got my hands sanitized. Then put my belongings and a plastic bag. When it came to actually working out my first time, I was yes nervous, but the transitions went great. Everyone wore masks, People sanitized and I was the only person touching all my equipment. Employees also sanitized everything when everyone leaves. For a person who is nervous person, by workout 8 I feel so comfortable to be back, I already switched back up to the Unlimited workouts a month and I am doing the Sprint Dri Tri at the end of this month. Great job to everyone at OTF Newtown for doing such an incredible job!

I've taken classes in a variety of yoga studios around the area and Philadelphia and this studio is…read morea favorite. The studio feels clean, classes range from challenging to restorative, and they offer refreshing electrolyte water and cool towels! Each class also varies in heat (some warmer than others) which is nice to help loosen up the muscles, especially since we're sitting in odd positions all day. Instructors have dynamic flows planned so we're not doing the same moves over and over again, which some teachers tend to do and have me wondering when the class will end! Definitely give the studio a try if you're a beginner or an advanced yogi. The staff and students are welcoming!

I have been taking Pilates with Ilene for two years. We connected when I was looking for a physical…read morerehab program after a back surgery. I was in constant severe pain from a neurological condition, and was not sure I would be able to engage in much physical activity. I decided to try an introductory Pilates package after chatting with Ilene. I saw right away how much effort Ilene put into understanding the neuromuscular system, and into creating an individualized plan for each client. She used a variety of techniques that allowed me to modify exercises and avoid exacerbating my condition, and she gave me techniques to use to avoid pain in activities of daily living as well, such as getting in and out of the car. Working with her has increased my strength and flexibility, improved my posture and gait, helped reduce my pain, and improved my quality of life. Ilene is passionate about helping people get out of pain, and truly cares about her clients' progress.

Newtown Swim Club has been a cornerstone of the community for decades. My family had membership…read morehere for several years as our son grew, learned to swim, and found friends of like minds and interests. Stepping inside the fence was certainly a time travel experience to about 1975, when the world was warm and sunny. Unfortunately, due to the deteriorating health of the owner, and the economic realities of our time, the days of the Newtown Swim Club are numbered. It is scheduled to close at the end of the 2013 season. We will all miss it. In its place will arise either a town home development, or a mobile home park. Which one depends on the quality of the relationship between the owner, developer and the Township. Right now, the dynamic is not good, and the mobile home plan is the only one in play. Should calmer heads and hearts prevail, the town home proposal could be resurrected as the only concept that makes sense in that location. The mobile home application was inadequate to get any approvals from the local governments involved, but whether they will address the shortcomings, or withdraw it in favor of another, more acceptable plan, remains to be seen. It is truly heartbreaking to see what should have been an easy decision become such a cause celeb, and to watch a man's life's work suffer such indignities. Surely, there was a better way; a path not taken, that would have been a benefit to all, and allowed this to be a crowning achievement.
