Why "CLUB MENSCH"?

​

Because "Club Med" was taken!

​

But seriously folks ... When Mike worked at a gym in Pikesville, MD — a Gentile in a Jewish community — he became acquainted with a variety of new customs and expressions. Often, a patron would thank him for helping them, saying, “Mike, you’re a real mensch!” — a tremendous compliment. As the Jewish Chronicle states:

​

“A mensch is a person who can be relied on to act with honor and integrity. But the Yiddish term means more than that: It also suggests someone who is kind and considerate.”

​

Not only is Mike very honored and humbled by this accolade, but he also takes it very seriously and truly tries to live up to it, both professionally and personally. He approaches his work with great humility, and he cares very deeply about his clients, who are also his friends. He shares their triumphs and their disappointments.

​

As he puts it: "We’re in this thing together. I’m here for you, and I’m proud of you.  Now, move your tuchus!"
