Kathy Ernsberger
Membership Sales Extraordinaire
Kathy Ernsberger began her career with us in 1997, as a Group Fitness instructor. She lasted two days in a singular role when we quickly realized she could light up a room AND had sales and marketing experience working with Oscar Meyer. Kathy’s passion for the fitness industry combined with the ability to generate creative experiences for our members and staff made her an influential leader in our business.

We are forever grateful that she built her home with us for over two decades. Kathy is retiring this spring, and she and her husband are relocating to Denver, Colorado to reunite with both of their children for the next stage in their lives. Kathy’s exquisite flair for all things colorful and magical will truly be missed, always remembered, and felt and experienced well beyond her years with us. Kathy’s last day is Saturday, April 24th. |

MaryBeth Putnam,
Adult Tennis Coordinator
We would like to recognize MaryBeth’s long term contributions at the club specifically in the area of adult tennis. MaryBeth began her career at the club at the Front Desk in 1997, while also developing her skills as a tennis player and her love for the sport. She was our master court sheet creator for many years leading up to what is now considered the digital court reservation experience.

MaryBeth extended her involvement into handling and addressing all things related to adult team tennis. She was our liaison to USTA and developed many long-standing relationships within the tennis community beyond our four walls. We deeply appreciate MaryBeth’s years of service and behind the scenes coordination to build successful and well-executed tennis teams. We wish ‘MB’ much happiness and success as she transitions out of her role at the club.

Group Fitness
We are excited to announce the return of outdoor fitness classes at Liberty! Several of our group fitness classes will begin going outside during favorable weather. Because of the varying weather during this time of year, classes will be scheduled indoors on the basketball court, but will move outside if the projected temperature is above 50 degrees with little chance of rain. Should we plan to head outdoors, we will notify participants registered for in-person and virtual classes via email by 6 pm the night before morning classes and 10 am for evening classes.. The virtual option will not be available when class is held outdoors.
Classes eligible to go outside:
- Bootcamp
- Muscle Max & Cardio
