This summer we will feature Trinity Fitness + Spa’s CEO Amy Kelly as a special guest contributor. Amy opened Trinity Fitness + Spa in 2005 after she lost her mother to pancreatic cancer. Trinity has partnered with Peak Pilates to explore new ways that Pilates can make a positive impact on the quality of life for cancer patients.
On September 1, 2005 my business partner and I opened Trinity Fitness + Spa.
Inspired by my mother – who had passed away two years before following a tremendous battle with pancreatic cancer, and my husband's brother, who died one year before from cancer – Trinity's mission is to inspire women to be healthier: mind, body + spirit, and every person and program at Trinity is created to further that goal.
Our one-of-a-kind "Lois Membership" http://www.trinityfitnessandspa.com/lois_member.html provides a free fitness membership, spa discounts and personal training to ANY woman currently undergoing chemotherapy and/or radiation treatment for cancer.
Our slogan, "We're not just lifting weights, we're lifting spirits!" is at the very heart of everything we do at Trinity to help women battling disease or PREVENT it.
I recently became one of the first trainers in the nation to receive the new ACSM certification to work specifically with cancer patients.
At Trinity, we are always looking for new ways to make it easier for clients to work out during their cancer treatment and receive the associated benefits. Pilates has become an integral part of the programming we offer in this area.
