EMPLOYEE OWNERSHIP Andesa Andesa is a leader in the life insurance and annuities industry, a pioneer in group administration products since its founding in 1983. Clients know the company for its advanced software and services, but the essence of Andesa lies in the 200-plus people behind the solutions.

What sets Andesa apart from other Insurtech companies is their value-based, culture-first perspective. They are a team of leaders and learners who share a resolute dedication to nurture the environment in which they work, earn a livelihood for their families and reach new potentials.

An exciting enhancement of that culture-first perspective came in January 2020 with Andesa’s announcement that the company was now 100-percent employee-owned. Each employee-owner now contributes to the company’s success and their own achievement.

“Organizations are best when in the hands of those who run it,” says Andesa President and CEO Ron Scheese. “That’s why we maintain 100-percent employee ownership that enhances not only our clients’ satisfaction but our team’s ambition to thrive and reach their full potential.”

A PREMIER LIFESTYLE Steel Fitness Premier Tom Fenstermacher launched his fitness business out of the back of his car. It was 1995 and he was doing personal training.

But after managing several smaller clubs, he took a leap of faith, established the Steel Fitness brand locally and opened Steel Fitness Premier (SFP) in 2012.

It’s a full-service health club and Fenstermacher’s largest location, providing SFP members with an experience unlike any other fitness club in the Allentown area. The spacious facility boasts three heated pools, an indoor track, whirlpools, steam rooms and saunas, personal training, programs for seniors, swim lessons, state-of-the-art equipment and 80-plus group classes a week.

“We are the only fitness club of our kind in the Lehigh Valley offering such a wide variety of services and amenities,” says Fenstermacher. “Our group exercise program is unrivaled, and we are fortunate to have the A Team of talented fitness instructors here.”

With so many options, it’s easy for members to find exercises that are both effective and enjoyable. However, says Fenstermacher, SFP is much more than a workout. “We are vital in the lives of the people in our community. Members rely on us for structure, physical and mental health, and longevity.

Being a member of Steel Fitness is a way of life for them.”

It’s the cornerstone of Fenstermacher’s career, and his family plays a key role. The club name honors his grandfather, a machinist at Bethlehem Steel. His daughter Josie, he says, “is my reason and motivation for success.” And while the facility is large, the staff and members really do feel like family.

It’s a feeling of warmth and belonging that is hard to find in a health club these days.

PENNSYLVANIA FARM-TO-BOTTLE SPIRITS Eight Oaks Farm Distillery The rolling hills of northwest Lehigh County are home to Eight Oaks Farm Distillery, Pennsylvania’s first veteran-owned, family-run, modern farm distillery.

For Army aviator and founder Chad Butters, the distillery is the perfect blend of history, science and agriculture to craft quality farm-to-bottle spirits for all to enjoy.

New Tripoli’s verdant farmlands not only offer an idyllic location, they supply most of the ingredients for Eight Oaks’ award-winning spirits. “We grow all our own grains including corn, wheat, rye and barley, with the help of our friends at Newhard Farms, to craft a wide range of spirits, including bourbon, rye whiskey, vodka and gin,” says Butters. Other ingredients are sourced to create unique spirits such as applejack, rum and Ocho Robles, the distillery’s own version of a traditional tequila.

A visit to Eight Oaks is a chance to kick back and enjoy great food, cocktails and the friendly atmosphere. Butters and crew are committed to making their community a better place, and that includes serving as a gathering place for friends and family. Says Butters: “Everyone has a seat at our table.”

WOMEN’S HEART CARE Lehigh Valley Heart and Vascular Institute - Women’s Heart and Vascular Program Heart disease is the number one cause of death for women in the U.S.—one in five women. Lehigh Valley Health Network (LVHN) saw the need for specialized cardiac care for women over 25 years ago and established the Women’s Heart and Vascular Program. Since then, it has grown to become one of the largest women’s heart and vascular programs in the country, a standout among similar programs in that it’s headed up and staffed by female cardiologists.

The team makeup is intentional and allows a true connection between the female physician and her patients—as if she was walking in their shoes.

Program cardiologists understand that women have unique risk factors for heart disease, unique symptoms and treatment needs all their own. Women often

LVHN Women’s Heart and Vascular Program cardiologists are conveniently located around the region so patients can get superior care closer to home.

With compassion, kindness and plenty of listening, the Women’s Heart and Vascular Program is achieving amazing results every day, results that save more women’s lives.

FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC CARE Comprehensive Chiropractic, PC Helping people live their best lives was Dr. Heather Strencosky’s goal when she founded Comprehensive Chiropractic, PC, in 2006.

While she started the practice to provide quality care to patients in an ethical and compassionate environment, it also sparked her interest in business.

Once she was established in Allentown’s West End, Dr. Strencosky grew the practice to provide a great mentoring and educational experience for fellow chiropractors. In July 2020, she opened a second location in Macungie. The addition of Dr. Deepa Patel in Allentown and Dr. Stephen Motze in Macungie perfectly enhances the team of friendly, patient-focused professionals in each office.

Comprehensive Chiropractic takes a goal approach to family chiropractic care. “Right from the start, our doctors want to know what the patient’s goal for care is,” says Dr. Strencosky. Cutting-edge technology helps determine the cause of any problem, and regular spinal care becomes part of a patient’s preventative healthcare routine. Making a difference in people’s lives every day is what the team loves most. “We truly have the best patients in the world.”

STUDENT LOAN REPAYMENT PLANNING Chris Varela Chris Varela is the founder of Varela Financial, a nationwide financial services agency that helps graduate professionals with planning their student loan repayment.

“As the student loan crisis deepens,” Varela says, “it’s more important than ever to understand the difference between traditional and nontraditional repayment options.” Most financial advisors focus on the traditional option of refinancing student loan debt into a privately held loan. “But for individuals with six figures in debt, this option could be a mistake that costs tens of thousands of dollars more than it needs to.”

Since its founding in 2020, Varela Financial has analyzed over $26 million of student loan debt and saved clients over $12 million, with an average savings of $83,000 per client, while also planning for the future by getting ahead of wealth accumulation.

“There are millions of attorneys, physical therapists, veterinarians and other graduate professionals drowning in federal student loan debt with little to no understanding of what their repayment options are,” says Varela. “We help alleviate the anxiety surrounding that debt by helping clients understand what solutions are available.”

Serious golfers like McAuliffe recognize X-Golf as the world’s most sophisticated golf simulator—a combination of laser, light, impact and camera sensory technologies that assures the most accurate stats—and the only one with a teeing system.

“I’ve always loved simulator technology for improving my game in the colder months,” says McAuliffe, “and X-Golf Lehigh Valley is the best place to do that.” The facility offers lessons, club fittings, game assessments and more. There’s also a huge sports bar and patio with games.
