Meet Stacey Phillips, our spotlight member who has found strength, community, and wellness through Kettering Recreation Complex’s group exercise programs!
Originally from Cleveland, Stacey moved to Kettering in 2024 and has been a dedicated participant in our drop-in exercise classes. While she first joined KRC back in 2004, attending classes on and off, she’s been consistently active in our programs for the past 3-4 years.
As a registered nurse, Stacey understands the importance of health and wellness. After having her son at age 36, she struggled with energy levels but found that maintaining a regular exercise routine at KRC dramatically improved how she felt. “Even though it was difficult to find the energy to come back into classes, I now know to make this my daily routine just to feel better for me!” she shares.
The progress she’s made has real-life benefits. Stacey and her 10-year-old son are currently training together for a 5K this summer. “My strength just to keep up with him comes as a result from attending these drop-in exercise classes for daily living needs!”
What keeps Stacey coming back? “There is quite a variety of exercise format classes and instructors to choose from on the weekly drop-in exercise schedule. This keeps me in my daily routine,” she explains.
Stacey particularly values the community she’s found: “Group Exercise Classes are my favorite because of all the amazing instructors who always keep their classes interesting, and meeting so many friends here. We all keep each other accountable with encouragement.”
As a healthcare professional, Stacey appreciates how the KRC supports both physical and mental wellbeing. “I feel truly blessed to be a part of these weekly exercise classes and it does wonders for both my physical and mental health!”
Join Stacey and our wonderful community of fitness enthusiasts at the Kettering Recreation Complex!
