✨Member Spotlight✨
Meet Alethea and Mira! A little about them in their own words:
We are mother-daughter members who enjoy attending the Bone Building class together. We are lifelong Pacific Northwesterners who spend a lot of time walking the family dog and enjoying a good cup of tea (chai, yunnan, or herbal for Alethea, and matcha or herbal for Mira). One fun fact about Mira is that she worked as an elevator operator at the Space Needle for two summers. A fun fact about Alethea is that she gave herself the gift of a weekly oil painting class for her 50th birthday and has been doing it ever since!

How long have you been a member of GLSC?
Alethea started at GLSC in October 2025, and Mira joins in whenever she is home from college, where she majored in geology and graduated this spring. She will be off to graduate school in the fall. 

How has being a part of the gym benefited you?
We are absolutely stronger! We appreciate the community of awesome people. It isn’t hard to motivate to go to class when you feel the benefits, and the people are so nice! Shoutout to Coach Mikaela, who is awesome! 

What is your favorite movement or workout?
Alethea enjoys bench press and RDLs. Mira likes shoulder press and med ball slams. 

What is your favorite music or pump-up song?
K-Pop Demon Hunters soundtrack! That’s one we can both agree on.

Thank you for being part of the GLSC community, Alethea and Mira!

Meet Lucie! A little about her in her own words:
My name is Lucie and I’m a native of Texas who moved to Washington State in 2017. I’ve lived in Seattle for almost four years now. I’m a music enthusiast, photographer, singer and bassist.

How long have you been attending fitness classes at Cedar Crossing?
I’ve been attending classes since they were first offered, back in January of this year.

How has being a part of these classes benefitted you?
The benefits have been tremendous. I feel stronger, sturdier and more able to push myself outside of my physical and mental comfort zone. I also think we have been very fortunate to have Coach Mikaela in our corner, and I deeply appreciate her acumen as instructor and her dedication to helping clients with differing bodily needs.

What is your favorite movement or exercise?
I really love shoulder presses. They make me feel powerful and victorious. Plank variations are also great.

What is your favorite music or pump-up song?
I love all kinds of music, but when it comes to really getting pumped-up nothing beats heavy metal for me. Most recently I’ve been listening to Ladrones, a band from Mexico City.

Thank you for being part of the GLSC & Cedar Crossing communities, Lucie!

✨Cedar Crossing Update!✨
Another month at Bellwether Housing’s Cedar Crossing community! We offer Monday and Wednesday evening classes at 6 PM, welcoming new faces after work. Participants have built more strength with the new weights we acquired in June, feeling the difference as they progress and explore more strength-building opportunities. 

Coach Mikaela, Coach Zeyab, and Coach Johnathon attended a fun community gathering last month to talk with residents and employees about our classes. It was a great way to meet new faces, spread the word, and continue to build our community. We look forward to more of their community events. 

These classes will continue to be available to residents of Cedar Crossing and the workers at Family Works and El Centro de la Raza. Our late fees will continue to fund this program through the summer, and we are excited to continue to serve this community! ✨

Our coaches inspire us to do hard things 👏

…which sometimes involve sprinting 🏃‍♀️😤
