You have now joined the "Two Timers" Club! This is the second time you are being honored as Employee of the Month. It is great to know that you continue to provide such excellent customer service and it is wonderful that it has again been recognized.

Annemarie Clarke, SPIN's Corporate Officer for Behavioral and Developmental Services wrote in her nomination letter:

"I have been a member of Norcom for approximately 9 months. After initially joining, I observed this upbeat, energetic, young man working with individuals with and without disabilities in the fitness area and was drawn in by his positive, cheerful disposition, his communication style with the individuals with whom he was working, and his "can do" attitude. He immediately struck me as a "right fit" SPIN staff…..and I later learned this was B.J., someone about whom I had heard wonderful things at SPIN, but whom I had never met. Based on these initial, very positive impressions of B.J. (and my need to become more physically fit!), my husband and I decided to begin personal training sessions with him. Our experience with B.J. has only reinforced my belief that he is absolutely "right fit" for SPIN and embodies those qualities that ideally suit him to be honored as employee of the month. 

Each person with whom B.J. works walks away stronger - not only physically but personally. People's spirits are lifted by their interactions with him. He is always smiling, encouraging, and cheering people on. B.J. meets each person where they arrive - those of us that are more physically able/agile and those of us who may not be so blessed. He trains athletes and first time exercisers with the same passion. He designs wonderful strength training programs and then teaches them to each person in a way that is easily understood, positively delivered, and designed for the person to succeed, naturally and effortlessly adjusting his interactions to meet the needs of the individual. His customer service is excellent! He is frequently accommodating various schedules and multi-tasking within his work with several people while never losing sight of the individual's goal and each person feels as if he is totally focused on them. People attain their outcomes……..and they walk away stronger, happier and healthier for their involvement with B.J.!"

What a testimonial! I am happy to honor you again and thank you on behalf of the Board of Directors, your colleagues at SPIN and all of the NCC customers who benefit so much from your expertise and positive attitude. Fitness is so important and you make it fun and accessible to so many.

Sincerely,

Trina Losinno
Executive Director
