Leonard Levenson is an outstanding example of what the Monterey Sports Center does for the community. When the Sports Center was created and opened on June 1st, 1992, Leonard was one of the very first residents to sign up for a membership and he has maintained his commitment every year since. Now 71, Leonard, a retired psychologist, can be seen working out at the Sports Center nearly every day. Leonard's eclectic workout includes everything from cardiovascular and strength training, to flexibility work and most noticeably, juggling - as in handling upwards of six juggling balls simultaneously! Leonard will be competing in the Northern California Senior Games on May 18th, participating in a variety of events including pullups, weighted pullups, standing long jump, farmer's walk and hand grip strength, demonstrating strength, power and muscular endurance.

Leonard supports the Sports Center in many ways, including financial support over and above his annual membership dues. We asked Leonard what the Sports Center means to him and he replied "The Sports Center plays a major role in helping the people of the Monterey Peninsula stay healthy and it enhances the overall wellness of people in the area. I love everything it has to offer, being a well-run, comprehensive facility. It is family-oriented and the staff creates a positive environment."

Thank you Leonard for all that you do to support us and we wish you luck in your athletic endeavors!
