In just a short 8 months, Becky has become such a huge part of the Sweat Fixx Arlington community. Our instructor group chat was buzzing from her first class… “wait until you guys see this new girl – she is so fast!” And fast doesn’t even begin to describe her. Becky is strong, determined and now we all know from our recent pROW bowl, competitive AF!
Since starting Sweat Fixx, Becky may have lost over 60 pounds (yes, you read that right!) but she has gained so much more. We have been so lucky to watch her get stronger and faster with each class. Instructors love to have her in class and clients love to be motivated by having her next to them on a rower!
How did you first hear about Sweat Fixx?
I was desperate to get back into shape and a friend of mine heard about an intro first class opportunity. We went and I haven’t stopped since!
What keeps you coming back?
I keep coming back because I love the instructors, the community, the class formats, and the results. Each instructor challenges and motivates everyone to do their best in every part of the class. The friendly and welcoming community feel is something I have never experienced in a gym before. Every class is different, challenging and fun. I am in better shape than I have been in a long time and I feel better and stronger after every class.
What’s one thing that you look forward to every time you come to a class?
Besides the awesome instructors, the results keep motivating me. I look forward to being challenged to be stronger and faster.
What motivates you to be stronger?
I want to be stronger both mentally and physically for myself and my family. I want my kids to have an active and energetic mom.
When you aren’t crushing it on the rower or mat, where can we find you?
You can find me all over town with my two little children during the day and working from home in the evenings. I feel very lucky to be able to be able to take a break from my former career as a high school teacher to be home with my kids by day. I’m a self-employed chemistry and physics tutor for high school and college students and in the summer, I am a chemistry professor at Brandeis University. I love traveling and sweating it up while salsa dancing.
What’s your guilty pleasure?
I love baked goods, especially a chocolate-almond croissant from Mamadou’s.
What are you most proud of accomplishing since you first came to Sweat Fixx?
I have lost more than 60 pounds and dropped 4 sizes since joining in April. It hasn’t been easy, but Sweat Fixx helps me to stay focused on what my personal goals are.
One tip that you would give to someone who is coming to Sweat Fixx for the first time?
Go at your own pace, and give it a few tries. Experiment with the different types of classes. I personally love the Grit Fixx classes. It doesn’t take long to see results on the rower, with weights, etc. I’m sure you’ll learn to love Sweat Fixx like I have!
Anything else you’d like to add?
I have never willingly worked out at 5:30 am in my life. I love to sleep and with two little children, sleep is even more of a luxury. This is the first program that motivates me enough to wake up 6 days a week to work out like a boss sometimes before the sun comes up! I absolutely love Sweat Fixx. It has truly changed my life!
