Terri Fitness Workshop
Personal trainer
👍👍 Terri is the best workout mentor I've ever seen. With his help and training plan I successfully lost weight from 75kg to 68kg just within 2 months. I got better body shape and stronger muscles as what I wanted in the beginning. I highly recommend everyone to go training with him.

I am...

Belmondo's Reach
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Pretty secluded spot with parking and easy river access. Very good for fishing. Water is pretty shallow in most spots (easy wadeable across) with many deep pools, large rocks and downed trees. Many different water patterns all in a short distance. Would recommend for a spot near Seattle
