Climb Every Mountain: Mary Archibald's Story
Our members are behind all that we do. Their desire to improve their health and wellness, to increase their fitness levels so they can live life to the fullest, and to work hard doing so are what inspire us. Mary Archibald's story is no exception. At 55 years old, Mary just summitted her 10th 14,000-foot peak in Colorado all by herself. In her email to Midtown Athletic Club at Windy Hill General Manager Karen Foley, Mary writes, "Midtown is a very big part of my life." She credits the club with keeping her in excellent shape and with preparing her to battle snow, wind, and clouds for almost 7 hours to climb to the top of Mt. Bross. "I wouldn't be able to do that if I didn't have Midtown and the awesome variety of ways to work out (tennnis, spin classes, treadmills, yoga) to keep my interest," says Mary. She loves that exercising with others serves as a motivation to complete tough workouts. Mary also enjoys the social aspect of the club and the many great people she's met. She's also a big fan of the wine-tastings. We are too, Mary. We are too. A big congratulations to Mary on her remarkable achievement as she demonstrates the benefits of a fit and active lifestyle. We're so proud of her.
