Wow. What a year for Almaden Valley Athletic Club members. We started 2011 filled with good intentions, vowing to lose weight, gain muscle and what did we get?
Friends.
Anyway you look at what happens here at 5400 Camden Avenue, it is a fact that more acquaintances are formed than weight is lost. Although, peeking into a GroupFit class – or looking out over the members on our Fitness Floor, you’ll find we are a bit more in shape than we were in December 2010.
We lost some dear members. Tony Faraone and Steve Sokol, come to mind right now. Tony’s talent for encouraging morning activities to include coffee and exercise, will forever be remembered as legion. And, Steve, the Fittest Man in America, how empty the deep end of our pool seems, yet the wave of wellness he spread throughout the community will always be felt.
That’s what we are all about. As we begin a new year, with a new Web site, new Technogym Kineses equipment, new Boot Camps, new classes and adventures, we will always remember the best part of our AVAC life: friendships, family and, lest we forget, fun!
