Staff Spotlight: Adelaide Osborn-Nienhuis

What is your role at Ballard Health Club and how long have you worked at BHC?

I work in Member Services, and started around the end of July!

What do you love most about working at BHC?

Definitely the community! It's wonderful to work in a comfortable environment where I can genuinely engage with people. Members and staff alike have been so kind and welcoming - it's been a pleasure getting to know everyone!

Where are you from, originally?

Seattle! I'm a Pacific Northwesterner through and through. 

What’s something fun or surprising about you?

I love unwinding by watching sitcoms, and my absolute favorite is Arrested Development (specifically the original seasons)! I've seen it countless times and end up referencing it far more than I should. 

What is your favorite way to spend a day off?

Going out for a small excursion where I can visit new places around Seattle (or further), and relaxing at home watching a movie! Ideally those activities would include friends and/or family! 

Any hobbies outside the gym?

I'm a real movie nerd, so I always try to watch as much as possible. There are so many incredible films out there, so I'm trying to widen my exposure! I can enjoy pretty much any genre, but I'm a sucker for memorable atmospheres, unpredictable plots, fun production design, and strong characters! 

Favorite workout playlist or hype song?

I enjoy a pretty good range of music, but my favorite artist is Alice in Chains - they're my go-to! Definitely a no-skip artist. 

Dogs or cats?

Both! I have a family dog whom I absolutely adore, his presence makes every day better. I've never had a cat, but my neighbor's cat visits sometimes, which has only made me want one more. I've never met a cat so sweet and affectionate.
