I worked next door to 212 for seven years before I became a member in 2017. I knew the trainers in passing. I saw the enthusiasm pouring out of the people going in and out of the gym.
Over the years I would describe myself as an intermittent exerciser. I would do a combination of weight lifting and running, but would inevitably fall off the wagon at some point.
Wow, I’d like to say how shocked, honored and a bit anxious I was when I received Kerry’s e-mail telling me that I was chosen for the Member Spotlight of the month!
My journey to 212 came about as it did for many 212 family members. I was active in high school and college sports, got married, had children, and then the old sports injury from college came back to haunt me.
It was a cold, rainy Monday when I received an email from Kerry congratulating me on being chosen for the member spotlight. I was admittedly shocked, but very honored!
To start, I’d like to thank Kerry and the 212 team for the opportunity to be the subject of January’s Member Spotlight. These stories inspire me every month and it’s an honor to be able to share some of my story with you.
As 2017 draws to a close, I was caught in the middle of my end of year inventory.... counting my blessings and thinking of all the areas in my life that need some improvement, when I was caught by surprise.
I am honored to have been chosen as November’s Member Spotlight! My relationship with 212 can really be summed up in how I talk about it. In the past, I would say, begrudgingly, “I’m going to the gym.”
I have to say, I'm not typically one to share what goes on in my personal life, but 212 has helped me be the person I am today, and I'm grateful for that.
My name is Tara Hurley. I have been a member of 212 for so long I don't even remember when I actually started. When I started it was called Punch and it was located on Broadway in East Providence.
When I received the email from Kerry congratulating me that I was selected for this month's member spotlight the first thing I said to myself was "SELF?!?...Is he RRREALLY sure about that giving me an open forum?!?"
January 1, 2017 I texted Alicia and told her my New Year's Resolution was to become the Member Spotlight. She believed in me and continuously reminded me of my goal.
Hi, my name is Karen Mooney. I've been a member of 212 for about 8 years now. Wow! 8 years at pretty much 5 times a week, and I'm still learning new things...
First off, thanks so much to Kerry and the rest of the 212 family for extending the tremendous honor of being the subject of the Member Spotlight this month...
I'm in the spotlight?!?! I must have read the email twice to let it sink in. And of course, my first instinct is to run from the spotlight, as it tends to make me shy and stumble over my words...
