I love fitness because the it makes me feel better physically and mentally. Fitness allows me to enjoy sports like pickleball, downhill and cross-country skiing. Not to mention, keeping up with my grandkids.

My first experience at a gym was doing a Corporate Fit Challenge at BAC while working for Alpena County. I joined after and continued my fitness journey. That had to be about 15 years ago and I’m so grateful I stuck with it.

Other than classes at the club, I love arts and crafts, creating pebble art, walking along beaches to collect rocks and driftwood, going to craft shows and biking.
