Kendall’s Journey at the VMRC Wellness Center

At VMRC, wellness is more than a program - it’s a way of life. For our team members, it’s also a deeply rewarding career path. Just ask Kendall, one of our Wellness Center leaders, whose journey from college graduate to fitness manager highlights what’s possible when passion meets purpose.

“You are kind of like a coach,” she shares. “But then you’re also just getting to interact, build the relationship and get to learn what their physical goals and health goals are.”

With a background in health and physical education from Bridgewater College, Kendall’s passion for helping others stay active started early. “I started out as a Fitness Assistant in 2019,” she explains. “I was able to take a leadership course that led me to get asked to be in the manager role, and I gladly accepted. I appreciated the growth opportunity that I was given.”

Today, she leads five to seven wellness classes each week, while continuing to guide residents across the campus toward healthier, more independent lives. She speaks with residents about all the dimensions of wellness, including social and intellectual wellness.

From personalized fitness programs to community-wide engagement, VMRC empowers both residents and employees to keep growing. If you’re passionate about wellness, relationships and making a meaningful difference every day, you’ll find you place here.
