Lucy Arnesen…The Marsh has changed my life!

Nov 23, 2011 "The Marsh has changed my life," says Lucy Arnesen, an ESL Teacher in the Hopkins School District. "This place has given me new energy, less joint pain and a lifelong commitment to exercise." It all started two years ago. Lucy had undergone a significant life change and wanted to do something for herself. While she was familiar and intrigued with The Marsh, as a non-exerciser she was hesitant to give it a try. Then she heard about 12 Days of Fitness. It was perfect," she said, "non-threatening, non-committal and I could try lots of different things." She signed up immediately and started coming to classes, which she found to be welcoming, fun and nurturing.

Using her 12 Days of Fitness passport to explore what we had to offer, Lucy lifted weights for the first time in her life during a Body Pump class and became acquainted with yoga. Now, two years later, she continues to be a regular in both classes, not to mention an ambassador for wellness. She often invites friends to join her here, and has become a member of the Wellness Committee in the Hopkins School District. "I am completely inspired by the people I see here… people of all ages and abilities doing classes. It’s motivating and non-judgmental and I am happy to be part of it."
