Tim has participated in numerous events as a SpoFit member and through Team SpoFit which include Try Triathlon, Biatholon, Run/Walk/Roll, Tango classes, Will to Walk Gold Tournament, SpoFit’s yoga classes, TLC and Bootcamp.
Tim began volunteering with SpoFit because he wanted to give back to his community and the nature of volunteering being fun and exciting. Tim’s response as to his favorite aspect of volunteering at SpoFit was “I enjoy helping people in their workouts, explaining the equipment or suggesting different types of exercises. It makes me feel good helping others complete their workout and receiving their appreciation.”
Thank you Tim for going out of your way to help members and helping staff when we needed you. You are an awesome volunteer!
Sincerely,
SpoFit Staff
