Clarksville Athletic Club is proud to honor three of its longest-serving group exercise instructors – Christy Jacques, Sherry Wilkinson and Rhonda Markham – who have each dedicated more than 30 years to helping Clarksvillians achieve their fitness goals.

Throughout their decades of service, Christy, Sherry and Rhonda have led countless classes, supported generations of members, and fostered a sense of community that extends far beyond the gym floor. Their consistency, encouragement and passion for fitness have made a lasting impact on the health and well-being of the Clarksville community.

  • Sherry Wilkinson continues to inspire members through her Yoga and Body Rock classes.
  • Christy Jacques leads Pilates, Strength Training, and Senior-specific classes, helping members of all ages stay strong and active.
  • Rhonda Markham energizes members in the water, heading up the club’s aqua aerobics program and teaching favorites such as Boot Camp Aqua and Aqua Zone.

“These three women are more than instructors – they are mentors, motivators, and role models,” said Brad Butler, general manager. “Their dedication over the past 30-plus years is a rare accomplishment in the fitness industry, and we are grateful for the positive influence they continue to have on our members and our community.”

Their ongoing commitment is a testament to the power of fitness to connect people, inspire healthier living, and create lasting relationships.
