I finally realized I had no more reasons to say ‘no’ to Sean. Being his aunt, our paths always cross and many times he’d speak so kindly of his 212 family. Well, he is correct, the 212 family/community is kind, friendly and welcoming. Along with Sean’s encouragement, Members Laurie Nichols and Darren Lopes strongly suggested I give 212 a try, I did and I thank them all.

There’s a continuous sense of support from staff and members. Joining a gym can be intimidating, but that does not happen here, quite the opposite does. I look forward to my daily class and I build my day around it. I feel the classes are challenging and everyone’s challenge is unique. I love the variety of classes and the variety of exercises within each class. The 212 environment is upbeat, rewarding and safe, I never second guess myself as to why I am here.

Thank you to all the staff I have interacted with: Kerry, Sean, Alicia, Heather, Colin, Scott, Kim, Allison, Evee and Rachel. You all make a difference in the lives of many, more than you even know.

Kind thanks for the ‘member spotlight’ opportunity! I have been a member for only a short time and I look forward to celebrating many 212 anniversaries 🎈
