Volunteer Spotlight: Tyler Madoche – Empowering Inclusivity while getting participants GiGiFIT! 

We say goodbye this month to Tyler Madoche – our long-time GiGiFIT instructor at Balance Fitness, who came to us in August 2021 and quickly became the heart and soul behind our Adult fitness program. As a certified fitness instructor, Tyler combined his fitness know-how with his warm and welcoming vibe, to create an awesome supportive community. His impact went well beyond fitness, with many participants displaying increased confidence and improved physical fitness while participating in this class. His dedication to GiGi’s exemplified his commitment to making fitness accessible to all, proving that everyone can achieve their fitness goals with the right support. We offer him our heartfelt thanks for everything he’s done for our program over the past two years and wish him the best of luck as he continues on his fitness journey! 

We look forward to getting to know DJae Cokley our new GiGiFIT Adult Program Leader. GiGiFIT Adult meets at GiGi’s on Thursdays from 4:30-5:30 pm. This session-based enrollment program runs in a trimester format (Spring, Summer, and Fall). With a max of 10 participants, this is an exclusive highly sought-after program with huge benefits for the participants and the volunteers! Registration is open in December for the spring session (mid Jan. – the end of May) https://gigisplayhouse.org/milwaukee/gigifit/
