How long have you been a member of Fit Chick Express and what brought you here? I have been a Fit Chick for 5 1/2 years.  I started working out with the Fit Chicks in a parking lot in 2010!  We have come a long way baby!

What has been your greatest accomplishment since becoming a member of FCE? One of my greatest accomplishments has been introducing many of my friends to Fit Chick and seeing their wonderful transformations physically and emotionally as well as meeting some many new amazing women that I now call friend.  However, my biggest personal accomplishment is yet to come.  I am setting my intentions on 2016 because it is going to be a transformational year for me.  For the past 2 years I have felt a level of exhaustion and depression that has impacted my motivation and has seemed insurmountable.  I felt so tired all the time that I practically stopped running and rarely made it to my Fit Chick workouts.  The exhaustion and lack of exercise caused me to packed on the pounds only adding to my depression and wonder as to who I had become.  Sometimes I can’t even recognize the person I have become.  That is why I am setting my mind to make a change in 2016.  I am already feeling more motivated to make lifestyle and nutritional changes so I can become the Kim I once knew.  I need to get back to my regular Fit Chick workouts, hit the pavement running, and revamp my nutritional plan, but I won’t be able to do it without my Fit Chick sisters.

What keeps you motivated? What obstacles have you had to overcome? I am motivated by the other Fit Chicks.  Knowing that they are expecting you to be there and that they know when you aren’t.  The biggest obstacle I have to overcome is letting my feeling of exhaustion win.  I need to remember the end game and not let the thought of 30 extra minutes derail my plans.

What is your favorite part of FCE? While the workouts are awesome, I can’t deny that one of my favorite parts of being a Fit Chick is the sisterhood that comes along with being a Fit Chick.  I have gain so many wonderful friends through my membership and I just love it when I see Fit Chicks around town and we introduce each other to our family and friends as “She’s a Fit Chick too” (as if we are the Pink Ladies).

What advice would you offer to newbies? Be who you are.  One of the best things about Fit Chick is that your workout never impacts that of another.  So you just do your best and workout exactly where you are.  This also means that the workouts never gets easier because as you become more stronger you just workout harder, but then again that’s the beauty of Fit Chick!

In one sentence how would you describe your experience at FCE. Fit Chick Express is not only a workout, it is a community of women that truly care about your well being and make life fun.
