Sydney started as a client when she was in 8th grade and we have loved watching her grow since then. From the second she walked into the facility, she brought her hardworking attitude and laugh that is contagious. After she became a client, she saw the impact AFS had on the community and wanted to be a part of our team. After she started working here, she wanted to get involved in the fitness staff and started as an intern at the start of this year. We are so happy she has joined our team and we are excited for her bright future! Good luck in college 🙂
