Light to Fitness

I can truly attest to the expression “Better late than never”. If someone were to tell me two years ago that I would look forward to going to a gym, I would say they were crazy; but since I’ve been coming to Experience Fitness for the past year, I have noticed that it’s probably just as much for my mind as it is for my body. Having osteopenia, it’s something that I know I need to strengthen my bones yet I also know that I need to be sharp every day because I still work as Registered dietitian, experience fitness keeps me refreshed and it keeps me with people. Doing something for both my mind and body keeps me going.

Prior to starting my fitness journey I was not happy with my physical appearance, always hiding under heavy sweaters and sweatshirts. Once I joined Experience Fitness things began to change. Kyle McGlynn and the team guided me through small group training and nutrition counseling offering constant support and encouragement. I’m approaching 60 and thanks to them I feel better and stronger than ever, I have my confidence back and don’t have to hide anymore!

I wouldn’t call myself a natural athlete but in the past I’ve tried hard to get in shape and feel better. However, it hasn’t always been successful or consistent. It’s easy to get unmotivated and fall off the routine. I began with Experience Fitness during COVID using the virtual workouts because I was stressed and unhappy with how I felt physically. Little by little I found myself getting stronger and looking forward to my workouts! I was even more amazed by the incredible energy and motivation since actually going to the gym. Kyle and the EF team really push you to do better and make sure you’re doing it safely. I also love the camaraderie with all the other members. Thank you to everyone for making this fitness journey an awesome “experience!”
