Employee of the Year: Congratulations Evan!!!

We are excited to announce that Evan Wheeler has been selected as the OAC 2023 Employee of the Year! Evan is the Front Desk Manager and a big part of what makes coming to the gym feel so inviting. He has an AMAZING attitude and lots of energyespecially for someone that gets up early to have the Club open and ready at 5:00 a.m. five days a week!

 

One of the things that sets Evan apart is the welcoming environment he creates. He remembers so many people's names when he greets them as they enter the Club. He says, "One of the best things about working for the Club is the community and getting to know the people."

 

Evan is originally from Ballard, loves working out, and enjoys live music. The next time you see Evan, please congratulate him on being selected. 

Congrats to our "Refer A Friend" contest winner!

Our February 2024 “Refer A Friend” contest was a big hit! 57 people helped build our community by referring a friend to join OAC.


Besides getting a $100 dues credit for referring a friend, members who referred a friend had a chance to win a $2,300 mountain bike from REI.


We created a raffle ticket for all the participants and had Caroline from Membership Services randomly pull out the winner!


This year's winner is Annika Knepper, pictured left with her awesome new bicycle! Annika referred two friends to join her at OAC.


Many thanks to everyone who participated!

Personal Trainer Highlight: Meet Jean!

With degrees in both Psychology and Sport Psychology, Jean understands what motivates people to reach their goals. He also understands the mental blocks that can stop progress.


Jean’s passion for health and fitness started in Snoqualmie, WA, where he began immersing himself in different sports and activities. He played football and ultimate frisbee, and competed in track and field. Most recently, he has started competing in powerlifting.


From sports, Jean realized how important it is to not only move your body, but also enjoy yourself while doing it. That passion is what Jean wants to share with clients.


In addition to personal training, Jean works as the strength coach for Seattle University’s Men’s Crew Team. If that doesn’t already sound like a packed schedule, he also works works as an exercise specialist in a physical therapy clinic. He brings his knowledge to help personal training clients work around imbalances and lingering injuries to safely build strength.


Jean’s goal is to help guide people of all backgrounds and skill levels toward a healthy way of life.
