How long have you been a member of Fit Chick Express and what brought you here? I’ve been a member at FCE for about 4 months. I found FCE when I was looking for a gym that offered high-intensity bootcamp classes, but the FCE community turned out to be nothing like a gym (which is incredibly refreshing!)
What has been your greatest accomplishment since becoming a member of FCE? My greatest accomplishment has just been being more active. When I joined FCE, I barely exercised (just a walk with my dog in the neighborhood every day). Now I am either working out at FCE or biking most days of the week.
What keeps you motivated? What obstacles have you had to overcome? I am motivated by the other fit chicks at FCE. They work HARD in class and many participate in athletic events outside of FCE even though they all have very busy lives like me. It’s inspiring!
My biggest obstacle since joining FCE has been being consistent with exercise with the constant travel and flux in my life over the summer. I’m slowing building more of a habit of being active into my life, but it’s still a work in progress.
What is your favorite part of FCE? I like how the boot camp classes are always changing, and it never feels like I’m stuck in a rut of the same exercises over and over.
What advice would you offer to newbies? Don’t compare where you are in your fitness journey with others.
In one sentence, how would you describe your experience at FCE? FCE is a great place to get a quick, intense workout and meet new awesome people!
