In BRIEF

  • Greenwood Athletic and Tennis Club in Greenwood Village, CO, is celebrating its 20th anniversary by displaying pictures featuring the “best parts” of long-time members who range in age from 30 to 60. Attributes on display are members' legs, punches, arms, peace of mind, tennis serve and abs. The campaign will also display a photo of three children with the text, “The best part of me…my friends.” The club wanted to represent a variety of features to show that fitness is more than a physical look.
