How long have you been a member of Fit Chick Express and what brought you here?
I joined Fit Chick in Spring of 2011, on the recommendation of a friend who’d been going. She knew I did better when a part of a group and thought it’d be a good fit.
What has been your greatest accomplishment since becoming a member of FCE?
Discovering how much more physically capable I am. Because of the people and the motivation I get at Fit Chick, I’m doing things I NEVER would have tried five years ago. I’ve completed five 5K mud runs; I did Slide the City; and I just climbed my first 14er!
What keeps you motivated? What obstacles have you had to overcome?
My fellow Fit Chicks are my method for staying motivated; being a role model for my sedentary friends and my kids is the reason. I have overcome a few health setbacks, and a run-in with a concrete wall, but the biggest obstacle was ME.
What is your favorite part of FCE?
My family of Fit Chick girlfriends. I can count on support, laughter, positive perspectives.
What advice would you offer to newbies?
It doesn’t matter what level of fitness or lack thereof you’re at. Fit Chicks welcome you with open arms and instantly adopt you as part of a boisterous, sunny, fun-loving family of sisters.
In one sentence how would you describe your experience at FCE.
Fit Chick has literally altered my life for the better.
