“I joined the gym over 4 years ago and have been coming consistently 3 to 4 days a week since. I’m a very dedicated person, so once I decide to start something, I stick with it! I have a family history of obesity and I see how living an unhealthy lifestyle affects your everyday life and future. I desire to live a healthy lifestyle, to honor God with my body, and to be around for my husband and children so we can enjoy life! I enjoy reading and spending time with my family; especially riding bikes and hiking. My goal has been to increase my cardio time and to build and tone muscle. Since working out, my cholesterol numbers have improved to normal ranges and I have lost several inches due to the toning of muscle in my body. Exercising gives me energy and helps me feel good about myself. You will find me most days on the elliptical and then participating in Strength class with Pam.”
