During my tenure for Inwood Athletic Club I was directly involved in the evolution of the fitness department from a single exercise studio to a state-of-the-art facility that serves over 4000 members with a 10,000 sq. ft. fitness floor, 2,500 sq. ft. of group exercise space and an Olympic size eight-lane, 25-yard indoor pool. Through this growth period I gained experience in many aspects of recreation programming, including management of community based fitness facilities, design and implementation of customized programs for individuals based upon comprehensive fitness assessments, and development of group exercise approaches such as Pilates, functional training, core conditioning, fitness kickboxing, golf fitness, senior fitness, youth fitness and post-rehabilitative training. I am passionate about creating high quality fitness and wellness programming.

As Active Older Adult Program Supervisor I designed, implemented and marketed consistently successful trips, exercise and social programs. As Youth Fitness Supervisor I reduced program costs by 30% and increased participation. I was closely involved with numerous member retention programs, initiatives and events, and often served as public liaison in the community to provide education and marketing through speaking, print, radio and television media. I have coordinated the efforts of volunteers to acquire sponsorship and participation for a variety of charity functions, health fairs and fitness events. I served as a mentor for colleagues and was consistently commended by members for my outstanding customer service skills.

Performed free weekly blood pressure screenings

Women exercise charityby Denise Baran-Unland For The Herald-News Nov 16, 2010

The benefits of several senior exercises classes are extending to the area’s hungry and overseas soldiers, thanks to the efforts of two groups of determined women.

The first, who have exercised the last two years at Provena Saint Joseph Inwood Athletic Club in Joliet, meet monthly at a restaurant for fellowship and to collect canned goods for various food pantries.

The second belong to a senior swim class. Last year, they collected and sent items to the troops. This year, the women will volunteer for Operation Care Package. Both groups are two years old, but, until recently, neither group knew the other existed.

“A steady dozen of us are in the pool every morning, five days a week,” said Jean Eichholzer of Joliet. “But we also like to sit and chit-chat and enjoy each other’s company. Last year, I had a grandson in the Marines and one of the gals had a son in Iraq, so all of us made up packages for them. It was a wonderful experience.”

This year, no one in swim group has family members that are serving, so Eichholzer suggested they pack boxes for Operation Care Package. She had helped that organization in the past and knew it always needed volunteers. Once the holidays have passed, the women don’t shelve their caring spirit — they bestow it on each other.

“A lot of us are single people,” Eichholzer. “When we don’t see someone for a couple days or if someone is sick or having a problem, we give her a call and make sure she’s OK.”

Marge Hirsch of Joliet said her charitable group started when several of the women began making lunch dates after exercise class. About 21 now participate each month. The women decided that, since they were meeting anyway, those in need should benefit from fellowship.

The amount and types of food donations vary each month. For example, last month Hirsch bought a flat of mixed canned goods, four boxes of macaroni and cheese, and a pound of coffee. The women plan to double their purchases for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

“There are a lot of widows in this group, and some whose husbands are not so active, but we feel if you can afford a club membership, you can spare some money for others,” Hirsch said. Like those in the first group, these women look out for each other. “We help with problems. We have pool parties in the summer. In December, one of the women is hosting the lunch in her home.”

Hirsch is hoping others will be inspired by their efforts and that the two benevolent groups at Inwood can soon meet. “We can exchange ideas and make even more things happen,” Hirsch said.

They were not only attentive but extremely patient and kind to even the most novice of skaters, right down to tying their shoelaces.
