July Spotlight Challenge WENDY ENCK July’s spotlight winner goes to a person who had some strong determination, a heart of gold, and is not afraid to say what’s on her mind.

June Spotlight Challenge SUMER SMITH Once upon a time, a few years ago. This woman and her best friend finally found the courage to show up to one of my group sessions. This after stalking my page for a year! They were on a weight loss journey together at that time. Having lost quite a bit of weight before by running, she hit a wall. Now let’s back up a bit.

Beth has in the past…
FEBRUARY SPOTLIGHT JEN GALLAGHER Jen has been training with me for two and a half years. In that time I have been fortunate to have 1. Gained a friend and running partner. 2. Watch our sons develop a great friendship 3. Watch her GROW in all aspects of her life. When you’re a personal trainer sometimes you end up creating more than just workouts for people. To me Jen has become a friend I know…
January Spotlight KELLY CURRENT Kelly started her journey by hesitantly coming to a group session. Nudged by a great friend, Kelly showed up one morning to a Sunday Funday session in 2013. Scared, not knowing anyone, never met me before but had heard my workouts were tough. Kelly, like many others, took a leap and gave it try. Five years later she is now a groupie! Sometimes in life the things that scare us the most…
