CityViewNC.com | 19 COMING IN FEBRUARY Romance • Resilience Women in Business Jan Ervin Always the first person to say hello and to help someone new to class set up their weights, Jan Ervin is known as everyone's gym mom. "I love people," she said. "Sometimes, I don't know anything but their first names, but I still think of them as friends." Her affinity for fitness began as a girl growing up in an athletic family in Red Springs. She was a forward on the high school basketball team and a pretty good soball player, as well. She was also Miss Red Springs when she was 15 and, later, homecoming queen at then-Campbell College. She taught English for 52 years, becoming like a mom for middle school students as well. rough the years, she's always found a way to make it to various gyms to take her beloved step classes and body pump classes, which feature weightliing to music. She's outlasted many of the gyms themselves. And while she's still a beauty at 80, her fitness isn't just about looks. "It is kind of a source of pride," she said. "I want to take care of myself physically and mentally. I just love to exercise. At 80 years old, that's the attitude I have to have. I do it for me." "It is kind of a source of pride.
