For the past 9 months, Kristen has been committed to her health by consistently working out at Sweat Fixx. She is one of those clients who comes in and quietly crushes every class. She doesn’t need the spotlight, doesn’t need to be the first to finish, but she will ALWAYS give her all & accept any challenge thrown at her. Her determination and strength shows and inspires both instructors and fellow clients! After recently having her third child, Kristen had made a huge transformation and we couldn’t be more proud. Read a little more about Kristen below.
| How did you first hear about Sweat Fixx? When Sweat Fixx opened some friends from our neighborhood started taking classes and after I had my daughter in 2017 my neighbor Julie gave me a gift card to take three classes. Big thank you to her for taking me to my first class! What keeps you coming back? The variety of workouts and motivating instructors keep me coming back. I’ve made a commitment to try to lift heavier and row harder and the instructors do a great job to motivate us to get in an extra rep, a few extra meters or one inch lower. What’s one thing that you look forward to every time you come to a class? The feeling of accomplishment I have after taking a class stays with me all day. I love getting a challenging workout crossed off my to-do list first thing in the morning. I also love seeing the 5:30 a.m. crew. Getting to know the Sweat Fixx community (#fixxfam) has been awesome. If I went missing the Sweat Fixx crew would definitely send out a search party to find me. Haha! But seriously, getting a high five after an intense GRIT Fixx and pumping each other up is the best! What motivates you to be stronger? My husband Dave and my kids, Cole, Garrett and Annie. Being stronger and having more energy to do things with them like run the lake and then play at the park is important to me. |
When you aren’t crushing it on the rower or mat, where can we find you?
During the summer months you will find me at the beach with my husband and kids, Good Harbor and Wingaersheek are our two favorite beaches. I love watching my boys play soccer and baseball and just hanging out with them and the rest of my friends and family.
What’s your guilty pleasure?
Margaritas, chips and salsa are definitely my guilty pleasure!
What are you most proud of accomplishing since you first came to Sweat Fixx?
I’m proud that I can now hold a solid side plank. During my first few classes I didn’t know if I would ever improve on those and to feel myself get stronger each week has made me feel powerful! I’m also proud of the commitment I’ve made to myself, it would be easy to hit the snooze button in the morning but starting the day with an amazing workout is way better than sleeping in.
One tip that you would give to someone who is coming to Sweat Fixx for the first time?
Don’t worry about not getting as many meters or not doing as many reps as everyone else in the room. Try all the different classes offered and most of all have fun!
Anything else you’d like to add?
If you’re reading this and you have thought about challenging yourself or changing up your fitness routine, I highly recommend giving Sweatfixx a try!
