I love witnessing members who learn to fall in love with exercising! Even more rewarding is when people who, at one time, avoided the gym or were scared to even walk in the door, are now committed to routines and habits that they wouldn’t even dream of giving up. Exercise is a total game changer. In a bad mood? A workout will help that. Stressed out? A workout will help that. Feeling down? Yep. A workout will help that too. And as a side note, I used to be one of those people who would avoid the gym. And now, if I don’t do some sort of exercise every day, even if it’s an active recovery routine, my day just doesn’t seem right. When I’m not at the gym I enjoy spending time with family and friends, cooking and experimenting with recipes, and walking my dog Oliver at Lawrence Park and working in my yard. My advice to our members is: every day, move your body in some way that makes your heart beat a little faster. You won’t regret it. I promise.
