I Am Proud to be a Member of a Club That Supports Causes that are Important to Me…

When I moved to Dallas from Charlotte, NC five years ago, one of the things that made me most excited about my new job was the TELOS brochure they sent me in my pre-hire packet. My employer, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, offers a corporate membership rate to all employees and after my very first day of work, I signed up. Little did I know how TELOS would change my life!

I was used to going to gyms that focused totally on aesthetics…working out around people who only cared on how thin they were or how big their biceps looked in the mirror had helped me pick up some pretty unhealthy habits. In my years at TELOS, I have learned so much from the professionals on how a healthy inside leads to a better-looking outside. As a “cardio junkie” I was never comfortable using the weight machines, even though I knew how important strength training is. Cecil Hightower took time to complete an assessment and to write a challenging training program for me, and worked with me all last summer to execute that program twice weekly and make me comfortable being on the floor. This summer, I’ve really gotten into Pilates and my instructor whips me into shape on a weekly basis. I travel extensively with my job and try so hard to stay active while on the road. I’ve visited some of the finest clubs in the world and have never found one that even compares to TELOS! The class schedule is excellent, the equipment is top notch and the amenities are too numerous to list. The great folks at TELOS even come over to our office several times a year to offer nutrition and fitness workshops! I am healthier now than I have been in many years, all thanks to the very educated and dedicated professionals here at TELOS.

TELOS is a great community…Whether it’s the great parties they throw twice a year or the friendly conversations with my fellow females in the locker room each morning, the TELOS community is a warm and welcoming environment. I have met some of my dearest friends because of my TELOS membership, and my husband Scott and I will be proud regulars here for years to come. TELOS supports several charities throughout the year with fundraisers like Train the Trainer and the Angel Tree during the holidays, and we are currently working to build a team for the Dallas Race for the Cure on October 16th (join us!). I am proud to be a member of a club that supports causes that are important to me. I love being a member at TELOS and I look forward to a happy and healthy future here!
