We have lost a dear friend. ❤
Marietta Momrik Zampich walked into Bay Athletic Club 16 years ago in search of a better future, full of adventure.
She joined BAC through a Corporate Fit Challenge at her husband's workplace of LaFarge. At the time, she was working nonstop as a seamstress and hitting the drive thru for lunch. She wanted to be physically ready to tackle a cross-country trip on her motorcycle and knew she needed to get in better shape. She committed to a six-week accountability challenge and never looked back.
Marietta truly became the face of BAC over the years. She dove head first into the BAC community, taking group fitness classes with her 9 AM Coffee Crew. They formed bonds and supported each other through the ups and downs of life. She participated in nearly every program that BAC created over the years -- from Body Beauty to Thinner Winner to Fit Buddy Boot Camp.
She was routinely in our "Top 20 Checkins" for the year, out of the entire membership. She won nearly every reward and accolade. She was featured as a "60 Second Inspiration" and featured at our Annual Fitness Inspired Gala.
Marietta was strong, healthy and happy. When she was diagnosed with cancer, her BAC family rallied by her side, even throwing a baby shower full of books for her granddaughter.
Marietta made a profound impact on our lives and our fitness community. She will be dearly missed.
Please stay tuned for a fitness fundraiser this fall in her name and honor to raise funds for the MyMichigan-Alpena Cancer Center.
With love, Trina and the entire TEAM BAC 💪
