Congratulations to Amanda Ervin Freeland on 14 years at Bay Athletic Club!
Over the past 14 years Amanda has transitioned many times in her role at BAC. She started at our front desk while she was teaching, then moved into fitness as an instructor, then earned her personal training certification and nutrition certification. She is now one of BAC's managers and continues to work with clients and teach classes.
Amanda is married to Ben and they have two kids in school and local activities.
When asked what she loves about being a part of the BAC Team Amanda said:
"Being a part of Team BAC just feels like a part of who I am at this point in life. 14 years is a long time to be involved in a family owned, community based business. I love my role at BAC and working with people who are on a mission to make the community a happier and healthier place is pretty great. I think one of my favorite things about BAC is that it truly is for everyone. I moved to northern Michigan when I was first married and didn't know anyone. I always felt very welcome at BAC, even though I didn't have any fitness experience at that time."
When asked what she loves most about working at BAC Amanda said:
"Seeing people go from being nervous to even walk in the door, to confidently joining in on classes in the studio or doing their own workouts in the gym, is my favorite thing ever. I love watching people realize that it's not scary to be in a gym, that it's not scary to sweat in front of other people and it's not scary to learn new things. It's fun! BAC's group fitness is by far some of the best in the state. The variety of formats, instructors and music means there's something for everyone. I also love being involved in our Body Beauty program. I had never lifted weights seriously before trying this program 10+ years ago and now I absolutely love being one of the coaches for Beauty. I also have to shout out the BAC members because they are amazing and so many of them feel like close friends and family after all these years. I'm so grateful for the connections I've made here."
Congratulations to Amanda on a successful 14 years at BAC.
Will you help us share in celebrating with her today?
