Like so many other women in banking, Chintel Waller and Lisa Powell began working as entry level tellers at GCTFCU. Wanting to help make a difference in the lives of the credit union’s members resulted in their lending careers as well as identifying areas of personal growth and opportunity in their community.
I struggled with weight all of life,” says Jazzercise Killeen Fitness Center Owner, Michelle Fry. She took her first Jazzercise class and was hooked. Losing 30 pounds in the first year, she was encouraged to become a certified Jazzercise instructor and purchased the Killeen location in May, 2000. In that time, her business has grown from two instructors teaching six classes in the community center to the current studio, where thirteen instructors teach 32 classes weekly.

Not only do Chintel and Lisa want to assist members with quality service, they also enjoy being a part of the credit union’s increasing growth; a growth in large part due to the Killeen/Fort Hood area’s growing economy, one of the fastest growing economies in Texas. The lending department at GCTFCU is already very busy assisting members with consumer loans; but, with the help and support of new President/CEO, Bobby Whitson, the loan department is stepping into the commercial real estate lending arena.

Michelle believes the customers make Jazzercise so successful. “Most of our customers and instructors are affiliated with the military, myself included,” says Michelle. “Jazzercise has been a healthy outlet to stay fit, form friendships and relieve the strain related to deployments, jobs and day-to-day stressors.” Jazzercise recently honored Michelle and her team with the prestigious President’s Club Platinum Award. At Platinum status, Killeen is one of the top money earners in the franchise operation, ranking in the top three percent of all Jazzercise franchisees during the past year.
