What Is your goal for the New Year?
Without a goal you might find yourself spinning the wheels on your own health. We at the Seattle Athletic Club are interested in not only hearing what your goals are, but seeing them in writing. Studies have shown that if you write down your goal or tell someone, you are more likely to achieve it.
Here are some options for you to show others what you are trying to achieve:
- Write your goal on our SAC goal card and display it with the rest of the members (they will be displayed anonymously).
- Email fitness director Jacob Galloway with your goal and he will post them for you.
- Sit down and talk with any of our fitness staff about how to set your goal and discuss a plan of action to achieve them.
Let’s see how many people we can get to finish their goals; no matter how big or small your goal may be, we want to help you have a great and healthy New Year.
For more information on this goal-setting event please contact Fitness Director Jacob Galloway.

Hazel Singer
Hazel is such an inspirational person, throughout our time together she has motivated me in ways that she most likely doesn’t know. When I first met with Hazel I was taken aback. She came to me with an array of physical hurdles that most people would have used as an excuse to stay at home and as far from the gym as possible. Yet there she was! Not only was she ready to train, she was well informed and eager to find ways to stay active despite her surgeries and other physical ailments.
When I think of Hazel I don’t think about the fact that she has had a hip replacement, a knee replacement, bilateral retracted rotator cuffs, collapsed bones in one foot as well as scoliosis. No, I think about a woman who goes to the gym 5 days a week without fail, who follows her workout regimen religiously and always has a smile on her face about it. Working with her has taught me to not only question the limitations that I have put on myself but also to question the limitations I put on others.
When I asked Hazel what motivates her and she said she loves the gym culture, the people she sees every morning and knowing that she has control of that aspect of her life. I can honestly say that I didn’t expect Hazel to have progressed as quickly as she did, but her confidence and persistence encouraged me to push her harder. Hazel went from using a cane and the hand rail when going up and down the stairs when we first met to walking confidently without any assistance and this is due to her own will to overcome any hurdle thrown her way.
Hazel is always challenging herself in ways most won’t even dream of. Whether it is her pushing the prowler, doing rope throws or killing the high intensity interval circuits on the elliptical, Hazel is sure to be giving 110%. On days when I want to give myself an excuse to slack I think if Hazel and am reminded that I can make the most out of where I am and that I am the only person n my way.

Mark Magdaong
Mark has been with us at the Sports Desk for less than a year, but in that time, he has made such an impact on members and coworkers alike.
One of the many comments we receive from members about Mark is that he genuinely cares and will go above and beyond what is expected of him. Every morning, he always has a smile on his face and is ready to assist members with their questions. Rarely is Mark asked a question that he cannot answer.
Mark is one of those people that always want to learn more. Day after day, he is curious and exploring, whether it be for the desk or in his pursuit of healthy living. He is a leader at the desk.
