Member of the Month

May 2013

For May 2013 the Member of the Month is not one person, or even a whole family.....it's a whole group of Exertec members that have made a commitment to themselves and to reaching a goal of living their Optimal Life.

The Hurtado Family: Francisco, Martha, Monica, Omar and Ximena

This month we’d like to do something a little different and feature an Exertec family who we feel sets a good example for health and fitness. Francisco and Martha Hurtado have been Exertec members for 10 years, along with their three children: Monica, Omar, and Ximena. All 5 of them can be found working out in the club on a regular basis-- in Group X classes, the weight room, or cardio training.

February 2013 Member of the Month

Suzanne Morrill has been a member of Exertec for 7 months. Here is her honest and inspiring story in her own words.

Note: Emily’s hard work has paid off in more ways than one! She recently placed second in Exertec’s first ever “12 Days of Christmas” fitness contest. Congratulations, Emily!

My name is Rona and I have been a member of Exertec since June. While I had achieved fitness success at my prior health club, the facility was too crowded for my taste. This is what brought me to Exertec. When I first joined, I met with Personal Trainer Tricia Doughty. I explained to her that I had previous success with the treadmill, elliptical, and by doing sit-ups. I had lost some inches in my midsection, but wanted to lose more.

Exertec has been lucky to have Brian Curtis and his successful Physical Therapy office in the club since 2000. This month we'd like to feature Brian by sharing his personal story of his own place in the field of health and fitness.

I was born in Canada, but came to the Napa Valley in 1977 to begin college at PUC. After completing my pre-physical therapy coursework, I transferred to Loma Linda University and graduated in 1983. My wife (who I met in PT school) and I remained in the Loma Linda area for 4 years after graduation but moved to Napa in 1987.

I’ve been a member of Exertec off and on for many years, but consistently since August 2011. When I joined, I had a general feeling of malaise. While I have always been overweight, as I got older I began to feel more lethargic and my arthritis in my right knee was getting worse.

"I’ve been a member of Exertec since 1990. Although I’m 61, I prefer to reverse those digits and call myself a “recycled teenager!” Because hypertension runs in my family, and because I want to avoid having to take blood pressure medication, I make exercise a regular part of my life.

I was thrilled when Exertec called me about being Exertec Member of the Month!!
