When did you start at Five Forks Athletics?

"I started at FFA in June 2022—shoutout to my coworker/friend Sara G. for convincing me!" 

What is your favorite workout?

"Give me a spicy EMOM any day! I love trying to squeeze in the work as fast as possible so I can pretend I’m resting for the remainder of the minute."

What type of exercise were you doing before Five Forks Athletics? 

"Very little and very inconsistently. I went to Sports Club here and there, played volleyball in high school, I even  tried 9Round in college—but nothing really stuck. FFA is the first place that made me actually want to show up and keep coming back!"

What are your health and fitness goals and have you achieved any of those goals, how’s it going so far?

"When I first joined, my main goal was to feel strong and confident for my wedding day. I got into a great rhythm, stayed committed, and ended up in the best shape I’d ever been in!

Then came pregnancy, and I was determined to stay active for as long as possible—and I did! I actuallly went into labor like 6 hours after a workout.

Since having my son Krew, my goals have shifted again. Now it’s all about building strength and showing up consistently—so far so good!!"

Has Five Forks Athletics affected your life outside the gym? 

"Oh, absolutely. It’s given me more than just physical strength—it’s boosted my energy, confidence, and just how I feel overall. I walk out of there every time feeling better than when I walked in. The people here cheer you on in workouts and in life, and that kind of support is the best!"

Do you have any other special memories or achievements during your time here? 

"One of the more memorable moments was definitely when I broke my foot jumping over a torpedo… Not exactly my proudest athletic moment, but hey, I committed. I even finished the entire workout and didn’t even say anything.

But the most special part has been bringing Krew along for the ride—literally. He’s been to almost every workout with me since I came back after having him, and seeing how much love he gets from everyone here (especially Julianna—our biggest hype girl!!) means the world. We’ve made so many memories here already, and I know there are many more to come!"
