It’s really unhealthy to work out in there with solely small fans. The health department needs to take a walk in that place around noon when the temperature outside is 115 degrees for them to feel the unhealthy temperature. Imagine working out in that heat with lots of other people. As a member I witnessed people getting breathless, not from exercising, which is an expected thing, but from the heat inside that room. We members pay our fees, we expect to have a good A/C in this severe weather. When is the Jacques N’ Jill’s management going to do their part? Don’t they care about people’s health in their place? — Club Member, Imperial Wed, 19 Jun 2013 00:00:00 PDT http://www.ivpressonline.com/ivp-san-diego-charity-cup-ivusa-geckos-win-third-tournament-in-2-months-20130618,0,1198271.story?track=rss SAN DIEGO CHARITY CUP: IVUSA Geckos win third tournament in 2 months Wed, 19 Jun 2013 00:00:00 PDT By Imperial Valley Press Staff http://www.ivpressonline.com/ivp-aotw-aaliyah-felix-20130619,0,6727083.story?track=rss The Imperial Valley Pumas Premier under-11 girls’ soccer team won the San Diego Charity Cup  for the second year in a row this past Saturday.
