Reedley"Xcelerates" 
Community Inclusion Program jobsites. The crew of four workers and a job coach are engaged in
wiping down the exercise equipment, maintaining the rest rooms, washing the windows
and sweeping the floors of the facility Monday through Friday from 9:30 am to 11:00 am.
The new facility is as large as it is beautifully appointed and it is a pleasure to work there for a variety of reasons.
General Manager and owner Cheri Burtelsen, pictured above with Trish Hill,
SVS Employment Specialist, states that the crew is a welcome part of Xcelerate's extended family.
This reality is easy to see and feel.
Hector Lopez, outside salesman for Xcelerate, is pictured above
with with crew members Jerry Lynn and Ernie Robledo.
Mr. Lopez generously purchased walkie-talkies for SVS crew members so they can keep in touch
with their job coach when they are deployed in the cavernous cardio and weight rooms on the property.
It is further evidenced by pictures of the crew prominently displayed on the bulletin board in Ms. Burtelsen's office.
Also pictured above are crew members Norma Garcia and Joseph Patino as well as job coach Shelley Emert.
SVS and Xcelerate Fitness make an outstanding team ensuring physical and environmental fitness in Reedley.
