iGnite IS our members! They make us what we are, which is why we LOVE spotlighting them! Meet Austin Member, Tracey Nelson! Tracey has been part of our iGnite community for almost 10 years, and one of the many things we love about Tracey is she participants in everything...and she's shares iGnite with everyone she knows. From our classes, Summer Adventure Escapes to yoga workshops, Tracey will be there and so will the friend(s) she invites :-)
