“Very sad tonight to learn of the passing of Stan. Stan provided me my first opportunity to work in fitness when I was a grad student at ISU. I always enjoyed working there as well as being a member. The family environment can’t be matched by the big box gyms. While I now live states away I brought my son with me to Stan’s while visiting Terre Haute 2 yrs ago I’m glad he got the opportunity both to meet Stan that day and for him to work out at the gym that meant so much to me.
