My name is Harmony Rushton and I am excited to be the new Preschool Director for the Genoa Park District. I graduated with an early education teaching degree from Western Illinois University. Following graduation I worked in the Geneva School District - first as an inclusion assistant and then as a third-grade teacher. My husband and I moved to Genoa 11 years ago to restore an old home, and we love this small town community. We have three children, all who will be in the Genoa School District this fall as a fifth-grader, second-grader, and kindergartener. I have spent the past 10 years with my own children as well as watching other children in my home. I have very much enjoyed caring for and teaching toddlers and preschoolers, preparing them for their school experience. On a personal note, I enjoy gardening, antiques, reading, baking, crafts, being outdoors, walking our dog, and spending time with my family.

I look forward to meeting your children and having a great school year!

I have 4 children ages 8,7,1 and 2 months.

Finding time to workout is hard to do but is often much needed. The Genoa Fitness Center and Kid Zone allow me to be able to get a workout in while my kids are burning off their extra energy. My kids love going to the Kid Zone! They do crafts and learn dances. They get excited about seeing Ms. Theresa and Ms. Crystal. The environment at the Fitness Center is fun and encouraging. I really enjoy seeing all the friendly faces who work there and they people who keep me motivated to stay with a healthy lifestyle.

Emily Fitzgerald

I started my journey at Genoa Fitness Center by joining shortly after having my third son. I, of course, had to lose the baby weight and needed to make the commitment to myself. After the first couple months, Kristi persuaded me to make the extra commitment by joining the Meltdown. I made a calendar of my workout routine with the trainers and Holly. It has helped me tremendously to stay motivated, challenge myself, lose some inches and pounds, and feel better about myself as a mom of 3. Not only do I enjoy going to the GFC to stay fit, I also love the staff and especially the Kidz Zone care providers. My boys love playing there and also feel safe with Heather and Kelly, two of our favorites. I appreciate the opportunity to have a program so close to home that I can utilize, even with children.

I highly recommend the GFC to local friends and family!

Sincerely, Melyssa Gustafson

SUCCESS STORIES

UPDATED!

Down 48lbs!

BEFORE

STILL GOING!!

BEFORE

STILL GOING!

STILL GOING!

I know that every good weight-loss success story begins with a statement of how many pounds and inches were lost and even though that is a component of my journey, to me it is not the most important.

I came to the fitness center ten months ago with a weakened heart and high cholesterol. I was overweight and the weakest I probably had ever been. Something needed to change. The catalyst to get me through the fitness center doors was the Melt Down and what kept me going was the supportive and friendly staff and the amazing guidance I received from instructors like Dawn.

My journey is far from over but my heart is strong and healthy and my cholesterol levels are where they need to be. I look forward to staying the course with continued weight loss and strength gain.

A big shout out to everyone at the fitness center who has helped to motivate and inspire me!

UPDATE: Down 48 Pounds & 50 Inches so far..

Also, have walked 1,300 Miles since 1/1/16 in a Walk Challenge, and Training for a Triathlon in October!! ~Tory Logsdon

I am a homemaker with very little to keep active, and just like anyone else I found after the years, I put on some weight and couldn’t lose it no matter how much I walked or what I ate.

How INCREDIBLE it is to have somewhere to work out that is not only convenient but also makes a real difference in the lives of this community. The Genoa Fitness Center, its employees, as well as the instructors (especially Brittany & Dillan) have made such an impact on my life that I cannot express how much it means to me to have a place FREE from judgment and FULL of Encouragement. You walk up those stairs and are greeted with a smiling face. When you talk with Holly Ber, Kristi Dunn or Tasche Snow, it’s like talking to a friend, always available with answers or solutions to make your workout better. I CANNOT STRESS how much this place has meant to me in the year that I have been a member. I continue to feel and look better and am stronger thanks to the equipment and instruction the Fitness Center provides! I hope you know its value in a small town like Genoa!

UPDATE: I’M DOWN 46 Pounds, 58.5 Inches & 4 CLOTHES SIZES IN 1 YEAR AND I FEEL STUNNING, RADIANT, CONFIDENT & EMPOWERED!!

“By the Way, Now I Work at the Fitness Center so I Can Help & Encourage YOU TOO! ~Victoria Rozell

CONGRATULATIONS ARLENE!!

FALL 2016 MELTDOWN WINNER!!

“I DIDN’T THINK I COULD DO IT” But I tried a little bit at a time . . .

My Doctor said my bloodwork is Better than EVER, I have more ENERGY,

I did something FOR ME! I learned to be Healthier, to Love Myself, and Take Care of myself.

YOU CAN DO IT TOO!

A huge Thank You to Rob For a lot of Motivating and Guidance along The Way!
