CBI October 2017
The Village Health Clubs and Spas (VHCS), an upscale, four-facility chain based in Phoenix, is known as much for its art, aesthetics, architecture, and environmental ambience as for its fitness and social offerings. The credit goes to its 900-plus employees, including its management team—but if there’s one person whose vision has shaped the Villages’ character, it’s VHCS President Carol Nalevanko.
“I love that CBI covers news, events and the latest industry trends globally. It’s a must-read!”
