Newly-elected JCC Board President Keith Pitzele’s passion for the Indianapolis JCC began in his childhood. Growing up in Gary, he didn’t have a community center. So when his BBYO youth group came here for an event, he was in awe. “I saw all the kids playing. They had a swimming pool. They had basketball courts. I thought ‘wow, this is wonderful!’” he recalled. After he got married and moved here for a job, the first organization he and his wife, Rita, joined was the JCC. “All of our kids went to camp here. Two of my children were camp counselors. And both my daughters-in-law were, too.” This is the second time Keith has led the JCC board (he was president 1991-93). “Maybe I’ll do it better this time,” he laughs. He’s serious about making the JCC the place to be. “I asked for a nametag (and) I would encourage people to come up and talk to me…good or bad,” he said.

Keith works out every other day for about an hour. He goes to The JCC has played a big part of Pitzele family life and BodyPump (“Rachell is great!”) and on other days he lifts weights. Keith and Rita took the additional step to become LIFE For cardio, he uses the cross trainer and jumps rope. And he does a & LEGACY donors (see p. 20). “I want to make sure lot of stretching. “When you get my age, you really have to stretch. it’s here for my children and now my grandchildren,” And even with that, I don’t consider myself agile,” he says smiling. he said. “Part of (our legacy to our children) is this community.” He ought to know; he didn’t have anything like this when he was growing up.

Based on David’s goals to lose weight and gain muscle, David now works out twice a week with Javan. On other days, he does cardio. He decided to work with a trainer because he knew he needed help getting and staying motivated. An additional benefit is that working out helps lessen back pain caused from his degenerative disc. And the best news? He’s single and now in date-shape.

Case Study 2 | Marcy Marcy has been working with a personal trainer for more than seven years. She started because she wanted to stay strong and healthy as she aged. Recently, she found an additional benefit is that regular exercise helps build bone density. She works with Javan for an hour twice a week and for her regular exercise, walks every day. She's developing arthritis in her hips so she also does about 20 minutes of stretching each day at home. She treats walking as serious business and coming to the JCC makes her walking "more official." The conditions on the track are the same regardless of the weather. But she's found that an important benefit is the people she's met. When she was working, she exercised at 6 am and there were people she looked forward to then. Now, it's fellow exercisers like Robert (aka "the Mayor") and Cheryl who motivate each other and make it a pleasure to come to the JCC.

Case Study 3 | Eleanor Eleanor has been working with a personal trainer for more than six months. After moving more than a year ago, she had stopped working out and needed some help getting re-started. She works with Javan twice a week on strength, balance and core. One day they work on the upper body and the other day they work on the lower body. Javan said that gives the body time to rest which is important when working out. The rest of the week, Eleanor mostly does stretches at home and “pushups,” she says and smiles at Javan as she adds, “not from the floor.” He says, “we’re working towards that.” She added, “I’m going backwards, getting younger.” The place where she lives has a walking trail and small gym, but they don’t have personal trainers. About the JCC, she says, “It’s great. I love it. I love Javan!” 12 | UPDATE FALL 2016 SUNDAYS | 10 AM–1:30 PM Indy’s only regularly scheduled Sunday farmers market.
