Fitness Inspired Gala Brings People to Their Feet!
Chris Spencer is looking forward to riding on a plane
for the first time in his life after winning a trip to San
Diego, California. This autistic, twenty-year-old
brought tears to people’s eyes and received a standing
ovation after sharing his fitness journey with hundreds
of people at the 3rd Annual Fitness Inspired Gala.
Chris first joined Bay Athletic Club weighing nearly 300 pounds and all he wanted to do was improve his balance so he could ride a bike. It was a Boot Camp program that got him on the path to the person he is today, nearly 70 pounds lighter with healthier eating habits and a bigger smile.
