Bennington Women
Team Up for Fitness
Partial reprint from Douglas County Post-Gazette
By Mary Lou Rodgers

First they teamed up for tennis tournaments, now they are business partners. Mary and Pam of Bennington have always enjoyed athletics, but these days they are putting their energy into helping other women get into shape.

The two of them opened a 30-minute workout center for women. It is the first of the Mississippi-based program to locate in Nebraska. They found a building as close to Bennington as they could, at 156th and Blondo Streets, and so far, about half their members are from Bennington.

Mary once taught tennis and she and Pam ran the Bennington Daze tennis tournament for several years. They also won a gold medal in the Cornhusker State Games. The two of them became acquainted through their sons.

Awhile ago, Mary developed back problems and Pam needed knee replacement, so they found a new outlet for their interest in athletics and fitness.

"This was kind of perfect for both of us," Mary said. "We can stay active together."

Having her own business is nothing new to Mary, who cleaned houses for 20 years. She was also prepared to work at a fitness center because when she did rehab exercises for her back, it helped so much, she decided to get certified in AFAA training. She renews her certificate every two years.

Pam continues to work for Commercial Federal, where she has been the last 20 years, most recently as a trainer of new employees. When Mary told her about Fit Express, Pam decided she wanted to join her in the new business.
