Northwest Women’s Fitness Club has not only changed my life, it is a PART of my life. I have been a member of this club since 1996. Being a member has not only provided me the opportunity to focus on my physical health, it has also been my “mental health therapy,” my oasis, my escape.
I’ve found through the years it is the one place I can come to and put life’s challenges aside, if just for a little while, on the treadmill with TV, newspaper and magazines – what wonderful distractions! I have also been blessed to meet some of the most amazing women here throughout the years, whether it be our members, our trainers and staff, or our wonderful front desk reps.
For me, I have developed many friendships, members sharing personal joy such as marriages, babies, advancing education and professions. I’ve also met many women through the years who have faced heartbreaking health and life experiences – each has been an inspiration in strength, and amazing role models. I am in awe to see them continue to come to the club regardless of what they are enduring; I am humbled when given the opportunity to support them. I am truly grateful to be a member of this wonderful club.
