With so much to do at Western, sometimes it’s hard to know where to start. Pickleball? Yoga? Group Fitness? Energy work? Cryotherapy?

Lucky for you, we’ve consulted the stars for a little guidance and matched each zodiac sign with the perfect activities at Western, tailored to align with your cosmic vibes.

Keep reading to find out where the stars are guiding you within the walls of Western!

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

As the first sign in the zodiac, Aries was born to be number one! With your bold and ambitious energy, you thrive on a challenge and Western’s courts are ready for your competitive spirit. Tennis or pickleball? Why not both? Dive headfirst into lessons to learn how to play or sharpen your skills, join a league, or sign up for a lively mixer, drill, or tournament. Friendly rivalries await, and the court is calling your name!

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Taurus knows how to live their best life—luxuriously. You’re all about moving at your own pace and indulging in the finer things life has to offer, and Western has your vibe covered. Start with a soothing yoga class to find your inner zen and center yourself, then float on into the sauna, steam room, or whirlpool (or all three!) and settle into deep relaxation. You deserve it, Taurus!

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Gemini is the social butterfly of the zodiac—playful, curious, and always in search of something new! Western is the perfect Gemini playground, with lots of opportunities to indulge your curiosity, meet new friends, and showcase your signature quick wit and ability to yap about anything with anyone! 

For talkative and curious Gemini, we recommend Group Fitness classes. You’ll literally never get bored with Western’s lineup of over 60 group classes on the schedule every week! You’ll especially want to check out the Friday Fling every Friday at 4:30pm where our instructors get creative with fresh classes every week, or the Sunday Snippet on Sundays at 11:00am, where you can dive into a new themed class each month. 

And if you’re new to Group Fitness, we’ve got you covered with a chance to make new friends by joining the We Connect Buddy Program. We’ll pair you up with an experienced Western member to show you the ropes in your first class and introduce you to all the action. Or if you’re already a Group Fitness pro, why not sign up to be a Buddy and show a new member all there is to love about our group classes?

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Cancer always has one foot in the emotional realm and the other grounded in the material world, which gives this sign an almost psychic sense of what their body and soul need. That’s why we’re sending you to the healing sanctuary in Renew, where you can feed that mind-body connection and get the inner peace you crave.

Start with PEMF therapy, where pulsed electromagnetic fields recharge your cells and promote natural recovery—perfect for nurturing your emotionally protective side and grounding your body on a deep level. Pair that with a session on the VibraGenix platform for an experience that uses soundwave vibration that produces healing frequencies that increase blood flow, lymphatic drainage, and cellular wellness. You’ll leave feeling grounded and in tune with your mind, body, and spirit.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

One moment while we roll out the red carpet for you, Leo! As the most spirited and vivacious sign of the zodiac, you thrive in the spotlight, embodying drama and flair in everything you do. At Western, you can let that Leo energy shine and unleash your inner star in our Dance Fitness group exercise class on Mondays at 5:30pm where you’ll groove to Latin-inspired rhythms or bust out moves in a Hip Hop session.  

And if you love burning calories while you express your theatrical side, why not take it a step further and become a Group Ex Instructor for Western? Share your passion for movement and shine brightly as you lead classes, inspiring others with your charisma and energy!

And for Leos who love to lift, head over to our state-of-the-art Strength Studio, a 1,700 sq. ft. haven filled with top-of-the-line equipment like weight lifting racks, platforms, dumbbells, and barbells. With a spacious layout and customizable LED lighting, you can create the perfect aesthetic for your next Instagram video while checking out those muscles in the oversized mirrors at each platform. It’s your world, Leo—we’re just living in it!

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Virgo is the zodiac’s ultimate perfectionist, ever diligent and consistent in their quest for knowledge and self-improvement. You’re always looking for that next piece of the puzzle that will level you up and get you that much closer to your goals, so start out on the fitness floor with our Master the Machines program every first Tuesday of the month at 9:00am and 5:00pm . Our personal trainers will walk you through the workout floor, machine by machine, to show you the ins and outs of each one. You’ll learn proper form and technique, learn about the different outputs and programs on the cardio machines, and get all your burning questions answered so that you can perfectly plan and optimize your next workout.

And because you know that wellness is holistic, your next visit is to one of our Registered Dietitian Nutritionists, where you can work with the experts to tailor a nutrition plan that gets you closer to your goals, including personalized meal plans, weekly check-ins, dietitian-approved recipes, and more!

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Libra is symbolized by the scales, so it’s no surprise that you’re all about harmony and finding that perfect equilibrium in your life. Start on your quest for balance by attending our Breathwork & Meditation class every Monday at 6:15pm. This gentle practice is perfect for finding some inner peace, releasing stress, and bringing balance to the body and mind.

Next, bring harmony to your body with a recovery session. Enjoy a blend of Stretch Therapy, Cupping, and Percussion Gun techniques for full-body rejuvenation, plus Scraping for deep-tissue release. These therapies allow you to take time to let your body and mind recover from workouts, injuries, and all the daily stressors of life. You’ll leave feeling realigned and ready to take on whatever comes next in your day!

If you’re interested in a recovery session, reach out to Katie Fichtenbauer, Recovery Training Program Director and Certified Personal Trainer, by emailing Katie.Fichtenbauer@westernracquet.com.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Anyone who knows a Scorpio knows they radiate a certain magnetic, fierce energy. You’re a cauldron of passion, emotion, and intensity, and when it comes to working out, you crave something that matches your fiery spirit. This is why we recommend unleashing all that pent-up energy and emotion into one of the more high-octane Group Fitness classes on our weekly schedule!

Try Tread & Shred, Heavy Bag Burnout, Full Body Blast, Cycle, Shred, or one of our many HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) classes throughout the week. Keep an eye out for special pop-up explicit classes as well, where you’ll get a pumped-up workout with the added fun of uncensored music so you can really let it all out!

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Sagittarius is the ultimate adventurer, always on a quest for knowledge—physically, spiritually, and intellectually. Satisfy that appetite for knowledge at a Wellbeing Workshop, offered every single month and covering a wide variety of topics. You can learn everything from Olympic lifting and meal prepping to mastering the art of the pull-up and more. These monthly workshops are designed to empower and educate, perfectly matching your love for personal growth.

Don’t forget to feed your spiritual and emotional side as well and learn more about the holistic healing offerings in Renew at our Coffee with Ana sessions every first Friday of the month in the Refuel smoothie bar.

We recommend taking that giving spirit and making an impact on one of Western’s special communities by joining the Rock Steady Boxing program! This non-contact boxing and fitness program is specifically designed to reduce symptoms and improve the quality of life for those living with Parkinson's disease, and we are always welcoming new volunteers to assist at workout stations, help participants with balance issues, and, of course, offer lots of cheering! Your compassionate nature will shine here, making a real difference in the lives of others while having fun.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

Ah, Pisces, the most intuitive and magical sign of the zodiac. You are always performing a delicate dance between the real world and the dream world, naturally tuned into the unseen energies all around us. However, your sensitivity can sometimes feel overwhelming, and it’s essential to create space for spiritual and emotional expression and exploration.

For Pisces, we recommend exploring the healing powers of Energetic Body Healing and Breathwork in Renew. These transformative practices will help you navigate your emotions, allowing for profound release and healing. You'll cultivate enhanced awareness, improved relaxation, and even a spark of creativity to fuel your artistic endeavors. Whether you’re seeking solace or inspiration, these sessions will guide you on your journey of self-discovery and spiritual growth.
