Spotlight on Strength: Celebrating Statesville Fitness & Activity Center Members

Last Updated 3/20/2025

At the Statesville Fitness & Activity Center (SFAC), our community is built on the dedication, energy, and friendships of our incredible members. Follow along as we take a moment to highlight individuals who embody the spirit of health, wellness, and camaraderie within our facility.

Whether they’re pushing their limits in the weight room, logging miles on the treadmill, or engaging in some friendly competition at the ping pong table, our members make SFAC more than just a Fitness Center—it’s a home away from home.

Godwin

For the past 10 years, Godwin has been a familiar face at the Statesville Fitness & Activity Center.

Whether he’s breaking a sweat on the upgraded equipment or enjoying the camaraderie of fellow members, Godwin has made us a key part of his fitness routine.

What Keeps Him Coming Back?

When asked what he loves most about the center, Godwin highlighted three things:

✅ A Friendly Staff

✅ Top-Notch Equipment & Facility Upkeep

✅ A Welcoming Environment

Godwin’s dedication to fitness and his story is a testament to how a supportive and well-maintained environment can help people stay committed to their health and wellness.

Rick

At the Statesville Fitness & Activity Center, we love celebrating our dedicated members! 

Since the center first opened 16 years ago, Rick has made fitness a priority and has been an active part of our community ever since.

When we asked Rick what keeps him coming back year after year, he shared three key reasons:

⏰ Convenient Hours

🏋️ Well-Maintained Facility

🤝 Welcoming Atmosphere

Rick’s commitment to his fitness is a reminder that finding the right gym with the right atmosphere can make all the difference in staying consistent. Stop by today and see for yourself!

Wayne & Jerry

We're shining the spotlight on not just one, but two of our most dedicated members at the Statesville Fitness & Activity Center—Wayne & Jerry!

Wayne (left) has been a regular here for nearly two years and loves the friendly members and welcoming environment.

Jerry (right) has also been with us for two years, enjoying the variety of equipment and, most importantly, the amazing community that makes the center feel like home.

But let’s be real—if you’ve visited the center, you probably know these two best for dominating the ping pong table in our lobby! 🏓 

Whether they’re locked in an intense match or simply greeting everyone who walks in (they’ve affectionately earned the title of our “Walmart Greeters” 🙃), you are sure to find these two with a smile. Challenge them to a friendly game or just take a moment to say hello! 👋

Next time you see them, challenge them to a game or take a moment to say hello! 👋

Jahan
