We are excited to launch a new app this month. This will replace our current app and provide you with a lot more information. My favorite thing about this app is it will keep all RAC information organized in one spot on your smart device.
The app is arranged in tiles (see below):
Check out some of these great features -
Live Classes (Schedule): Live group fitness class schedule
Fitness On Demand: Virtual class schedule
RAC Account Info: Access your RAC account. View statements, check attendance and even reserve a court.
RAC Perks: The RAC’s member loyalty program in one convenient location.
Preva: If you have created an account on our Precor cardio equipment, you can access your account and view your achievements and statistics here.
Fitness Trackers: Connect your device and sync your results.
Nutrition: Create a meal plan, journal a food diary and monitor your progress.
Challenges: The RAC will put out challenges from time to time to motivate you toward a goal.
Workouts: Access pre-set workouts or your personal trainer will create your own workout just for you.
RAC Website: This is the RAC’s social network page.
Progress: Monitor your progress and track your results.
My Activity Calendar: Add workouts to your week and stay organized.
The Community icon on the bottom of the page allows you to maintain communication in areas that you are interested in. A few of the community groups that we are starting with are Group Fitness/Mind Body, Tennis, Pickleball, and a recipe sharing page just to name a few. You choose what you want to stay in touch with. If you are in the tennis group and are looking for someone to play with, just send a message to the group and see who is interested. RAC staff will also let you know of programming and events when they become available.
Launch to Members:
Sometime in November, you should receive an email that looks like this:
There are two steps to this email:
Activate your account on the portal.
Download the mobile app (Android or iOS) to your mobile device.
We are working on adding a page to our website that will help members navigate through our RAC app and help answer any questions you have. It is fairly intuitive but we also realize there may be questions along the way. We are here to help so feel free to reach out to info@racmn.com.

We are planning to give the restrooms by the Club Café and Deli a facelift sometime in the next month or two. Although we do not have an exact start date at this time, both restrooms may be unavailable sometime this month.

These classes create an experience that bonds mother and baby through a practice of breath and movement.

(bliss for your brain)
The stress of living in an over-stimulating world can lead to physical, mental and biochemical illness. Yoga Nidra, also known as yogic sleep or sleep with awareness, is a systematic method of complete relaxation that holistically addresses our physiological, neurological, and subconscious needs. Back by popular demand, this Yoga Nidra workshop will help you “unwind” your nervous system exploring guided relaxation techniques.
