It\u2019s really pretty; hilly and wonderful. I found a lot of golf balls, and I was really happy,\u201d he said. When the parks department closed the course, \u201call of a sudden, I\u2019m sitting without a place to exercise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Darryl\u2019s loss was Kruse Woods\u2019 gain, because the golf course closure is what led Darryl and his wonderful sense of humor to Active Wellness Center. \u201cI really like the place. I like the space. I like that you\u2019ve got all sorts of diverse equipment, and there\u2019s good parking too!\u201d Soon after joining, Darryl started taking classes and began to realize that his body needed strength training in addition to walking and golfing in order to stay healthy and mobile as he aged. \u201cI think it\u2019s wonderful that classes are included with membership,\u201d he said. \u201cClasses can give you some ideas about areas you need to work on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When he\u2019s not taking classes, Darryl spends most of his time working on strength and balance. He describes EGYM as a \u201creally neat concept\u201d and hopes adding muscle will help improve his golf game.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, Darryl is getting ready for his annual trip to Mexico, and that comes with its own challenges. \u201cThere are gyms down there, but they\u2019re a lot different than Kruse Woods and they don\u2019t have near the space we have here.\u201d To help him stay fit while he\u2019s away, Darryl develops exercise routines he can do at the local gyms in Mexico that will keep him moving until he returns home.<\/p>\n<p>As much as Darryl misses his time on the golf course, he appreciates how the renovation closure has opened his eyes to a new approach to health and fitness. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t be here if they hadn\u2019t closed the course. In retrospect, it\u2019s a blessing in disguise. I\u2019m much healthier now. I feel better. Golf is great and I\u2019ll continue to play if they ever get the course done,\u201d he says with a wry smile. In the meantime, Darryl is enjoying his newfound fitness community. \u201cThe people here are really friendly and interesting. Everybody has a story and I like that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We can thank Parks and Recreation, as well, for leading Darryl through our doors. We wish Darryl a safe stay in Mexico and look forward to seeing him again in the spring.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MEMBER SPOTLIGHT: Darryl Boom, Active at Kruse Woods Member The Lake Oswego Municipal Golf course was Darryl Boom\u2019s favorite place to exercise until it closed for renovation last year. \u201cI would walk the back nine.
