Congratulations to Chuck, our inaugural ZONE Featured Member!
For Chuck, staying active has always been an important part of his overall health, happiness, and well-being. A longtime member of the club, Chuck became a regular ZONE participant when the program was introduced and now attends ZONE and Body Fit classes three to four times a week.
“The ZONE has given me confidence that I’m taking care of my body,” Chuck says. “My strength continues to improve noticeably, and the progress I make improves my general sense of well-being and confidence.”
Chuck especially appreciates the variety of the workouts, the encouragement from trainers and fellow participants, and the social atmosphere. Most importantly, the ZONE provides the structure and accountability that keeps him coming back.
“I need ZONE (and Body Fit) to be able to actually do full workouts,” he says. “I don’t have the willpower or discipline to do comparable workouts on the floor on my own.”
Outside the gym, Chuck recently retired after a long career teaching Biology, including 18 years at Santa Rosa Junior College and 32 years at CSULB. He stays busy hiking with his wife, Denise, gardening, traveling, making music with a folk group, and spending time with friends.
His advice to anyone considering ZONE classes? “Give it a try, get to know the trainers and participants.” With a range of fitness levels and trainers who offer modifications to meet individual needs, Chuck says the ZONE is a welcoming place for everyone.
