I had fallen out of shape for a few years while focusing on family, and Coach Monique called me to come in for some personal training. Since kids are welcome and doted on, and I have three little ones, I figured why not. I went once a week for a few months and while I was doing my sessions, I could see the classes going on and I could see what a great group of people were participating...all fitness levels, ages and ability. When Coach Monique recommended I start classes, I knew that was a great next step for me. I went 2 or 3 times a week to start. I struggled to run a half a mile, I couldn't lift much weight, and I couldn't do a pull up to save my life. But I had so much fun, made some amazing friends and as time went by I got stronger and faster. I am a year in and now I go 5-6 times a week, and not only doing things I never thought I could, but I am doing them with the proper form thanks to Coach Monique and Coach Andrew. I ran my first 7 mile trail race recently, as well as my first 10k road race. And I did pretty well if I do say so myself! I am currently competing in the CrossFit Open and am looking at doing another competition coming up in the Spring, as well as running some more races! This is not a typical gym, friendships and bonds are formed here. And Coach Monique? She is amazing. She cares so much about each and every athlete at the gym, has provided so much support when it comes to physical fitness and nutrition, and has created such an amazing, welcoming space. She has truly changed my life. I would very highly recommend her personal training services and the classes, or even coming for open gym to anyone!
