November Members of the Month: Carl and Kathy Woodward!
Carl and Kathy Woodward have been dedicated members of The Chatham Club for nearly 30 years! Their commitment to fitness has kept them strong, healthy, and able to enjoy all the fun activities they love doing together.
Both Carl and Kathy spent much of their careers in sedentary jobs and knew they needed a place to help them stay active and fit. Fortunately, The Chatham Club was nearby—and it quickly became the perfect fit. They were impressed by everything the club had to offer, including on-site Physical Therapy and Massage Therapy services. Their consistency and dedication to working out have paid off, allowing them to maintain the active lifestyle they both enjoy. We’re proud to celebrate Carl and Kathy as shining examples of how fitness and consistency lead to lifelong vitality!
