Hello NOVA MEMBERS! Summer is flying by, and as we prepare for Fall, please review the class schedule for the location(s) you attend: Oak Creek schedule here, and Pewaukee schedule here.
**A change to note for September for OAK CREEK is the KIDS JUDO class on Fridays. Kids Judo is now one class, ALL levels, from 5:30-6:30pm each Friday**
KIDS JIU JITSU CLASSES (OAK CREEK)
As a reminder, the Monday-Thursday Kids Jiu Jitsu schedule at Oak Creek is:
5:00 - 5:45pm ADVANCED JIU JITSU
5:50 - 6:35pm BEGINNERS JIU JITSU & FUNDAMENTALS
We have progressed several students to the 5:00 class that’s focused on advanced techniques, drilling, and competition prep. The 5:50 class is beginner focused, with lots of attention spent on BJJ fundamentals, helping students advance in our jiu jitsu program, and getting them one step closer to belt promotion.
A couple important protocol reminders for parents:
Due to COVID precautions and guidelines, for now we are continuing our class check in/check out procedure. Parents (not kids) must sign in for their child/children when arriving, and sign out after coming back to pick them up after class.
As our class sizes continue to grow, we are continuing to keep capacity under limits per COVID precautions and guidelines. So for now, we still ask for parents to drop off their child/children for class, sign them in and then leave for the duration of the class. When coming back to pick up your child/children, again please sign them out before departing.
A couple suggestions for during the class time:
There’s Pick ‘n Save in the lot if you need to do some grocery shopping
There’s Q Spa Massage Therapy couple doors down if you’re in need of a massage/de-stressing, and Star Nails nail spa in the same strip mall too
There’s a restaurant in the same strip mall called Shish Kabob if you’re hungry or need to pick up dinner, or other restaurant options right across the street
There’s other businesses nearby on S. 27th St to complete some errands at (including a Walmart and Home Depot across the street)
Wait in your car and listen to music/podcasts/audio books, read, complete phone/work calls, enjoy a break from everything and embrace silent “me” time
Take a stroll or jog in and around our surrounding parking lot
Participate in our simultaneous Adult Fitness Kickboxing classes (ask about family discounts!)

KICKBOXING FOR A CAUSE
22FITNESS Founder Dan Newberry leads Kickboxing For A Cause 9:00-10:00am each Saturday morning.
This fitness kickboxing class is open to Nova members and to the community. Any donations provided to the class will go to Lift For The 22, a nonprofit organization that connects veterans with gym memberships nationwide to improve military transition, and fight veteran suicide. Donations are not required, but welcomed, and will be collected at class check-in.
Bring your own boxing gloves or gloves can be purchased at Nova.
SATURDAY STRETCH
Strengthen and lengthen at Saturday Stretch 10:15-11:15am. Our yoga instructor Nikki leads the class, which is also open to the community.
Currently yoga is not included in any of our Nova memberships, but is HIGHLY DISCOUNTED for Nova members at just $5 a session. You won’t find a better drop-in deal around! Cost for non-Nova members is just $10 a session, so feel free to bring a friend. Payment will be collected at class check-in by our instructor Nikki.
Nikki teaches a strong vinyasa style yoga with hints of power. She loves to make yoga less intimidating and bring it to a wider range of people - especially those who are active and would really benefit from an increased range of motion!
BJJ OPEN MAT
12:00-1:00pm each Saturday is BJJ Open Mat for Nova Members. This is casual rolling and sparring, and a great opportunity for our jiu jitsu team to get together. We encourage all members to attend!
KIDS KICKBOXING & MMA
As a reminder, we have added KIDS KICKBOXING & MMA to our regular class schedule. It takes place Monday-Thursday, 4:15pm-5:00pm, led by Coach Jordan Seufzer. Email info@novagyms.com to enroll!
