If people's New Year's resolutions to get in shape do anything, they certainly help the health and fitness industry in Fond du Lac. Now I have to learn all the new faces. Delap has been the manager of the health club for about eight years. The Ramada Health Club features free weights, stationary bikes, weight machines Airdyne bikes, treadmills, whirlpool and sauna, but a large attraction is the pool. The water aerobics classes are popular, especially with seniors.
All members get a discount at the hotel's restaurant.
Delap said he gets many new members after the holidays. A number of people receive gift certificates for memberships as Christmas presents. The people who are dedicated will see results. Less than half of the people who join because of resolutions stick with it. Lynn Roethke, owner of the health club, says the fitness business is cyclic.
