Tell us about your fitness journey. How did you come to Farmgirlfit?

I started boxing after my first was born and it stole my heart. For years that is all I did, but after I tore my ACL and my meniscus playing indoor soccer, boxing wasn’t an option any more.  So, after surgery and rehab (and a second pregnancy) I was looking for a supportive place to get my strength and fitness back.  And there was Farmgirlfit, to the rescue!!

If you could tell your Farmgirlfit story in 100 words or fewer, how would it read?

When I started at FGF one year ago, I was so out of shape and I felt like being fit again was so far away, on the edge of unattainable. Farmgirlfit helped me to find strength that I didn’t know I had and to see that my goals can be reached.

Who/what inspires you to be fit?

All the Coaches at Farmgirlfit! You ladies are awe inspiring!!! 💜

What has been your greatest fitness/performance accomplishment so far?  

For me getting to FGF at least 3 times a week for the last year has been a huge accomplishment. I love seeing my strength increase, but to me getting to the gym consistently is more important.

What are your next health and fitness goals?

My next goals are to keep getting stronger at FGF, get back to boxing, and to start running again. I would love to train and run at least a few races next year. And who knows, maybe, just maybe, I will box again.

Favorite exercise at FGF is? Least favorite?

Power Cleans and anything with Kettlebells are my favorite!! Snatches and Overhead Squats are hands down my least favorite. (Hopefully, someday, those will feel a little less terrible.)

When the Grind is kicking my butt, I’m thinking…

About how good I will feel when I finish it!

My favorite thing about Farmgirlfit is:

The love and support that all the women have for each other. It is such a positive environment and from that, so much can be accomplished!!

How has the rest of your life been influenced/impacted by Farmgirlfit?

Through Farmgirlfit, I have met some truly amazing women who inspire me to be bring my best and be my best everyday. It is such a wonderful & encouraging environment, not only as a gym, but for everyday life.

When you're not pumping iron at FGF, what does the rest of your life look like?

I love being outside and playing with my family! My husband and I have two wild boys and we are always looking for new adventures outside. We love hiking, biking, and kicking the soccer ball around.

My happy place is:

On the beach, pretty much any beach. But Hawaii has my heart.

As a kid I dreamt I would grow up to be:

An Ice Skating Coach. I really wanted to teach hockey players to be stronger skaters. Recently I learned that there is now a woman in town that does exactly that! I was so excited to learn that was a “real” job.

Guilty pleasure:

GOOD beer 🍻😉

Any advice for new members or your fellow farmgirls?
