Seasoned MTVAC Staff Member Puts Training to the Test

Mount Vernon Athletic Club (MTVAC) Assistant General Manager Gretchen Thompson recently competed in the Wanderlust 108 Triathlon held in Washington D.C. It took both mental and physical training for the Personal Trainer and Group Fitness instructor. Gretchen's friends and other MTVAC members joined in the triple threat triathlon, too.

Although this was a challenge for Gretchen, competing and training is like second nature to her. She teaches a variety of classes at MTVAC - sometimes up to four classes a day - including the Les Mills signature Body Pump class, cycle, ball flexibility and low impact aerobics. She also runs the Intensity Camp twice a week. Then there is running the Crew Program as Coach at Forest Park High School. Wow, at 60 years old, Gretchen is a phenomenal fitness role model!
