It's Not Too Late to Aspire! We are so excited about the great response to the Aspire Community Studio! We had over 150 attendees at our Grand Opening on January 2nd and have over 230 participants in our first session of classes! We've just started week 2 of Session 1. Don't worry if you didn't register, there is still room in most classes and we have prorated the cost for Session 1 so that you are not paying for the days that you already missed out on! You can still register for a Session 1 program and pay as little as $6/class! or learn more about Aspire at:
The Aspire Newsletter The first edition of the Aspire Newsletter was emailed earlier this week. It was sent to registered participants and those that opted to receive the newsletter when they registered at the Grand Opening. The newsletter will highlight past events, remind you about upcoming classes, feature new classes and have an occasional promo code or giveaway. We anticipate sending the newsletter, on average, once a month. We promise to never send a newsletter more than twice in the same month.   Click here to view the last newsletter.   Click here to subscribe to the newsletter.

Do You Aspire? Do you aspire to improve your health? ...to make new friends? ...to lose a few pounds?
Do you aspire to become stronger physically? ...to be stronger mentally?
Do you aspire to to be graceful on the dance floor? ...to step out on a dance floor? EJRP aspires to promote lifelong health and wellbeing, to provide diverse learning experiences, and to provide affordable and accessible programs. After 18 months of full Zumba classes and tight facility schedules we aspired to find a more tranquil room for yoga, a more spacious space for Zumba, and a better floor for dance. We also aspired to find more great instructors, offer a wider variety of classes, provide easier access to our programs, and make our programs more affordable than ever. Introducing the Aspire Community Studio!

Maple Street Bike Park Information Committee leaders
Kahlil Zaloom and Andrew Cimonetti Committee History
Our committee was formed in February of 2010 to explore the possibility of building a bicycle freestyle terrain park in Essex Junction. The committee members include staff of Essex Junction Recreation and Parks department, an EJRP recreation advisory boardmember, a professional mountain bike rider and course designer, and approximately 35 community members of varying ages from grade school to adults. What is a freestyle bike park
Freestyle bike parks contain a variety of jumps, banked turns (berms), pump tracks and wooden features that can be ridden with a freestyle mountain bike or BMX bike. These features will be built with the specific geography of the property in mind and for riders all ability levels. Plans for the proposed park include 2 pump tracks, and several dirt jump lines ranging from beginner to expert level. The wooded section of property behind the skatepark would make for a very unique riding experience and make for a relatively low maintenance park. Please see the photo gallery below for illustrations of typical features in a bike park.
