Our May Members of the Month are Nic and Natasha Ruff. They have been an exceptional part of the BAC community for about 4 years. Natasha tends to do her workouts with an emphasis on building cardio strength and Nic likes to focus his training on lifting and building core strength, however, he does like to change it up every now and then to work on cardio, too.
Nic is from Leavenworth, and Natasha is from Sedro-Wolley, but they met right here in Bellingham. In their free time, they really enjoy going to concerts. Despite having somewhat different tastes in music, Nic liking alternative rock and Natasha being more into country, they both still have a great time seeing any type of live music.
When we asked Nic to talk to us for this little write-up, he said that their mentality with exercise is that the world is better when we help other people, and in order to help other people we have to first start by helping ourselves to be the best we can, mentally and physically. That is what makes Nic and Natasha such a great part of the BAC, and why we have chosen them as May’s members of the month.
Our April Member of the Month is Chelsea Rodriguez, along with her kiddo, Aislin. Chelsea and Ailsin moved to Bellingham from Portland in 2015. They joined BAC in 2016, and they both enjoy various activities around the club. Aislin participates in our Junior Racquetball program, takes swimming lessons, and loves her Junior Orientation privileges. Chelsea enjoys weight lifting and getting her heart rate up with some personal training.
Congratulations to our Member of the month for March – Yanina De Brites! Yanina moved to Bellingham from Venezuela 10 years ago. She joined BAC in 2009, and is celebrating 10 years with us in November! Yanina loves the community and feels very blessed to live in a city where she has made such great friends.
