Throughout the last few months, Innovative Fitness staff members have worked hard to update the landscaping at the entrance to the office. Three large trees were removed earlier in the year, leaving a blank canvas.
Staff had the fantastic idea of creating an outdoor space to include plants and a bench that would allow people to spend time outdoors. Tammy had the beautiful idea to have the bench be a memorial space for Chris Conti.
The first step was to remove the stumps which were left in the ground after the tree removal. Heavy machinery was needed during this step and Hayden worked tirelessly to remove each stubborn stump! Next, we picked out plants that would add some color to the front, with pops of purple and red! Lastly, the ground was leveled, the rocks were laid, and the bench was set in place surrounded by beautiful potted plants. Lexi spent time making sure each plant arrangement was colorful and lively!
The bench features a plaque which says “In honor of Chris Conti, co-founder of Innovative Fitness.” We love getting to honor Chris through the Chris Conti Memorial Grant, and now “Chris’ Corner.”
