Cornel Whitney, New Membership Advisor at Windy Hill Athletic Club
Jun 29, 2016
We're thrilled to announce that Cornel Whitney has opened a new chapter in his career and now serves as our club's newest Membership Advisor.
Cornel joined the Windy Hill team just about one year ago. He made it his goal to learn as much as he could from every department, and as a result, he has worked as a fitness coach, group exercise instructor, part-time manager on duty, and he's served as a member of our Rising Leaders group. Cornel even put his master of ceremonies skills to work at our most recent member party.
He decided he enjoyed wanted to help even more people pursue a healthy and fit lifestyle, and is looking forward to engaging with our newest members.
General Manager Karen Foley says, "Cornel's persistence, dedication, willingness to learn, and positive attitude make him a perfect fit for a Membership Advisor role in the club."
Cornel's background before coming to work for us is just as varied and diverse as his experience in the club.
His love of fitness began early on, and he has been involved in athletics all his life. From track and field to semi-pro football, Cornel loves participating in sports and considers working out his favorite hobby. He's now learning to play tennis.
A Clayton State graduate with a Bachelor's degree in psychology, Cornel also holds an MA in Mental Health Counseling from the University of the Southwest. While in school for his Master's, he became certified as a personal trainer and began working part-time as a trainer. He loved it so much that he decided to pursue a career in health and fitness.
If you're a fan of Cornel's group fitness classes, don't despair. He will still teach some classes in addition to his new role as Membership Advisor.
The next time you see him in the club, make sure to congratulate Cornel on his new position!
