In the Wellness Spotlight: Martha Mellinger

Martha Mellinger is our current resident in the Wellness Spotlight. Martha and her husband, Jay, moved to Quarryville Presbyterian Retirement Community in 2015 from the Paradise/Strasburg area. Before relocating, Martha was very active and eagerly joined the Wellness Center when it first opened in 2016. She mentions that the Aquatic Center was a significant factor in her decision about where to retire.

Martha enjoys having full access to an Aquatic Center and Wellness Center located within walking distance of her home. She participates in aquatic and aerobic classes five days a week, as well as monthly fitness challenges organized by the Wellness team. Martha states that attending at the same time each day and participating in various activities helps her stay motivated and supported in her fitness journey. Her favorite aspect of the Wellness Center is attending fitness classes and socializing with others during those sessions. She appreciates that her time spent in the Wellness Center clears her mind and makes her happy.

Martha recently participated in the January “Commit to be Fit” challenge and it was evident that she takes her health and personal wellness seriously, as she exercised for at least 30 minutes almost every day throughout the month of January!

Martha’s advice for anyone starting out at the Wellness Center is to “just do it.” She emphasizes that beginning with small steps, maintaining consistency, and having fun are keys to developing successful exercise habits. Additionally, Martha recommends finding a workout buddy to help hold each other accountable during your fitness journey.

We admire Martha’s positive attitude and her enthusiasm for encouraging others to get involved with the Wellness Center. We are delighted to feature her in our Wellness Spotlight.
