Message from Gary Briggs, LUFC Owner
As we approach our one-year anniversary, I want to personally thank our
valued members for their business. Thank you for recommending our gym
to friends and family, for providing feedback so we can improve our member
services, and for creating such a great community here at LUFC. We have
some exciting changes in store and new services to offer as we enter our second
year: we’ve hired Ivy Fernandez as our general manager, and promoted Jim Fehlig to
group fitness coordinator (who takes the place of Liz Strain, who we will miss very much).
We now have an on-site nutritionist, reflexologist, and new personal trainers to help you
reach your fitness goals. LUFC will now be offering body composition analysis using
ultrasound led by our knowledgeable trainer Donald Baker.
Be sure to mark your calendar for our huge anniversary celebration on October 1st this will be an event you won’t want to miss! We are hosting a food drive for the Thurston
County Food Bank, and LUFC will host a strongman team never seen before in Olympia. There will be a prize raffle, free tanning all day, and our popular fitness festival will
showcase our fantastic group fitness program. In this coming year, LUFC is committed
to improving your gym services for a positive and successful workout experience!

at LUFC, avid triathlete and marathon
competitor. We are now happy to announce Jim will be LUFC’s new Group

enthusiam for building fitness, making new friends,

Jim encourages LUFC members to set

train with a group for upcoming local
races. As Jim says, “What’s the point of
crafting these fantastic bodies if we don’t
get outside and use them?”

Ivy’s Deli is temporarily shutting down
to rethink and redesign our deli service for gym members and the general
public. Please send us your ideas! We
are sorry about closing the deli, but we
are currently re-evaluating space design
and ownership. If you or someone you
know has a vision to take food service for
LUFC to the next level, please contact
Ivy Fernandez at sweetives3@gmail.com.
Thank you!
