Emily is a staple in the Southie studio. She has a subtle competitiveness that doesn’t go unnoticed by those around her and is always pushing herself and others just the same. Emily reminds us of what our crew stands for – ego-less but will work their ass off if given a challenge, a complete boss even at 6 in the morning!
She humbly crushes goal times left and right, and elevates every class she is in. If Emily ever sits down next to you on a rower, be prepared to level up because her work ethic is infectious! She will approach any challenge confidently, with incredible strength and focus to get the job done.
These are just a few of the reasons why we are so excited to have Emily be our member of the month!
How did you first hear about Sweat Fixx?
I remember seeing someone tag Sweat Fixx in Southie on Instagram and I hadn’t heard of it before so I instantly clicked on it to learn more. Once I read about the workouts and saw how conveniently close it was to where I live I knew I had to give it a try.
What keeps you coming back?
I love the community of people at Sweat Fixx. Everyone is so friendly and I always look forward to walking into a class and seeing some familiar faces. Every workout is always different, fun and challenging so no class is ever the same. I’ve also never felt stronger than I have since joining Sweat Fixx so it’s nice to see the hard work pay off.
What’s one thing that you look forward to every time you come to a class?
No matter who the instructor is, they are always incredibly friendly, personable and motivating throughout the class. I’ve been to many fitness classes where you feel like just a number, whereas at Sweat Fixx that’s never been the case.
What motivates you to be stronger?
Aside from my wedding coming up in less than 3 weeks :), I feel my like my best self both mentally and physically when I’m pushing myself to be stronger. Although the wedding has been great motivation to stay in a solid routine, I know I’ll continue to stay motivated after since I enjoy Sweat Fixx workouts so much.
When you aren’t crushing it on the rower or mat, where can we find you?
I work as a Customer Manager on our sales team at Clif Bar and I have the convenience of working from my home office right in Southie. There’s also a chance you’ll find me at any of the local Southie spots on the weekends, see me running around Castle Island, hitting a bucket of balls at Granite Links with my fiance or spending time in Marblehead with my niece and nephew.
What’s your guilty pleasure?
A glass(es) of wine (or craft beer), Mexican food and anything on Bravo like the Real Housewives or Vanderpump Rules.
What are you most proud of accomplishing since you first came to Sweat Fixx?
Aside from the strength I’ve gained, I’m most proud of my consistency and showing up for class multiple times during the week for myself.
One tip that you would give to someone who is coming to Sweat Fixx for the first time?
Don’t be afraid to push yourself and go for the heavier weight, but also don’t be afraid to just do you. It’s such friendly judge-free environment, there’s nothing wrong with going at your own pace!
Anything else you’d like to add?
I couldn’t be happier to have found a studio and community like Sweat Fixx and always look forward to coming back!
