Member Spotlight: Gina Baumgartner, Personal Trainer and Senior Fitness Specialist

"My goal is to get to know each client. Some clients may have never exercised before, or never been to a gym. I enjoy introducing exercise to them and making exercise a lifestyle that they can enjoy for a lifetime."
Member Testimonial

"The network is important because commercial fitness and the private medical sector are so intertwined with each other. It's important that we work together and this avenue is a great start to do so! I love how I was able to get an AED for a HUGE discount b/c of the relationship I have with MFN!"
