SUE RICHARDSON
Front Desk
269.226.3184 or email
Sue is the longest-serving employee at the club. She has maintained her front desk position since August 2000, when she joined Fitness Works (which later became Kalamazoo Athletic Club). She volunteers with several local charities, including Girls on the Run and Quota Club. She is also a diehard fan of Kalamazoo Wings hockey and Kalamazoo Kings baseball – so if you want to get into a debate, you’d better know your stuff. |

ASHLEY LUCAS
Night Cleaner
269.226.3184 or email
Ashley is the reason our club sparkles every day. Her strong attention to detail and solid work ethic make her a perfect fit as our night cleaner. She’s outgoing, too, so she helps out at the front desk when we need her. Ashley is an aviation administration major at Western Michigan University and enjoys being active, especially outdoors. |

CASSIE MARKWARDT
Front Desk
269.226.3184 or email
Cassie loves to help people and it’s why she’s a great fit at our front desk. She also loves to learn: she earned an associates degree in graphic communication in 2004 and is currently enrolled in the business management program at Western Michigan University, where she also takes classes in occupational therapy, health and human services. And she’s active! Camping, kayaking, canoeing, parasailing, waterskiing, wakeboarding, knee boarding, tubing – if it involves water, it likely involves her. |

JOHN PETERS
Front Desk/Personal Trainer
269.226.3184 or email
John helps manage our front desk and does so with effervescence and dedication. The senior exercise science major (business minor) at Western Michigan University hopes to one day have a career that merges fitness with substance abuse rehabilitation. In addition to his role at KAC, John is a supervisor at Webster’s Prime, the Radisson’s four-diamond second-floor restaurant. He is a music enthusiast who has played the guitar for 10 years, so don’t be surprised if we let him provide live music during one of our group exercise classes. |
