Carmel Total Fitness’ Services

 Outside of her professional work as the managing director at Wilsie Co. LLC, Deanne Siemer supports businesses that promote health in local communities. As a 50 percent partner in Carmel Total Fitness (CTF), Deanne Siemer grows the fitness facility’s ability to help clients meet their fitness goals.

Founded in 2006, CTF stems from manager and personal trainer Scott Visser’s desire to improve Carmel, Indiana residents’ health in a supportive environment. From the beginning, he wanted the over 20,000 square-foot facility to welcome clients of all ages and fitness levels and for clients to receive workouts overseen by qualified trainers. About a quarter of the facility is open use, with weights and resistance training equipment, while the rest contains bookable cardio rooms, a swimming pool, and basketball and rackets courts for rent.

CTF offers in-person and online training to accommodate residents’ busy schedules. Though each option contains similar services, like nutrition education and creating workouts personalized to each client, the online version focuses on debunking common diet and exercise misinformation. Via sessions with trainers and on-demand materials, online CTF clients can learn how to integrate exercise and healthier eating into their lives without sacrificing time or the foods they love.

About the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands

 The general manager of Goose Hill Farm, LLC, Deanne Siemer is also the finance director at SRS Online, LLC. She manages the firm's books and records and has published over 30 trial-skills and deposition videos since 2011. Alongside work, Deanne Siemer's interests include Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) history. She served as a hearing officer in the CNMI Department of Labor in Saipan earlier in her career.

Before forging its future, the CNMI was part of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands (TTPI) under the administration of the United States for the United Nations from 1947. Palau, a member of the TTPI, sought independence and self-governance. Though recognized as a US territory, the CNMI has its own constitutional government. However, the territory abides by the US federal minimum wage, immigration laws, and border controls. Also, the United States negotiated a delay in maintaining strategic military bases.

Composed of 14 islands in the Pacific Ocean, the CNMI also enjoys federal grants from the United States, alongside its tax revenue. However, it remains the only U.S. territory not represented in Congress, as that was not included in the official agreement plus amendments. However, a non-voting status was awarded in 2008 pursuant to a bill by Delegate Donna Christensen.
