Amy Schaefer

On March 31, Amy Schaefer spoke to the Chester Rotary. Amy is the owner of Flex Fitness Gym in Bellows Falls, which offers everything in the way of personal training, body-building, nutritional programs, meditation programs, and yoga. They're in the heart of town where Sam's Clothing Store used to be, with a gym across the street over the hardware store.
 
Amy was born in Perkinsville, VT, went to Green Mountain High School, to college in Boston, ran things at the Charles Bronson horse farm for several years, then decided to follow her dream to teach fitness. After investigating franchises, she decided to go it alone. It worked in a big way. One reason is the extra personal attention she gives. She has nine personal trainers and runs a program for the Compass School.
 
Amy downplays the fact that she was born with muscular dystrophy, but is less reluctant to mention that she is the number one American in international body-building competitions. She invited Rotarians to join the Flex Fitness Gym.
