New Diablo Rock Gym Manager Diablo Rock Gym in Concord just got a new manager. Marie Garringer, a 36 year veteran of the fitness industry, has been working with Touchstone on their fitness programs. A former personal trainer and Health Club Manager at a Fresno Gym, she has been teaching group excercise classes like indoor group cycling, strength training, interval circuit training, pilates, Zumba, Bosu training, stability ball training and step for the entire 36 years and is currently teaching a cycling class and a Zumba class at Diablo Rock.



She spoke a little about herself,"In my spare time, when I do have spare time, I enjoy being with my family (I have a son who is married and expecting their first baby this summer and another son who will be graduating next month from college). My husband and I have a boat and a fifth wheel and we enjoy taking the boat out to the local lakes or traveling with our fifth wheel and mountain bikes."

She plans to continue her work at Diablo stating, " My ultimate goal is to bring in more fitness members to Diablo Rock, so we have just as many fitness members as climbing members."

In other related news, gym manager Andrew Descalo is leaving Diablo Rock. He's escaping work for a little while to head out to climb and spend more time at the crags. Thank you very much for your hard work and commitment Andrew. You will be missed. We wish you well!
