1. What made you join Midtown Movement & Medicine?
The wholistic approach to fitness is what originally drew me to Midtown. As a former endurance athlete, it was important for me to find a gym/community who invest their time in the other areas of fitness like recovery, nutrition and overall health maintenance. Also doesn’t hurt that I live down the street.
2. What are your favorite and least favorite moves/exercises in the gym?
I’m a fan of big lifts like squats, power cleans and bench press and absolutely despise thrusters or any ab work! 🙂
3. And what keeps you motivated?
Motivation is hard to come by but remaining disciplined and seeing positive incremental results are what keep me coming back. I have to remind myself that Rome wasn’t built overnight!!! Like many other things in life, consistent efforts lead to big, big results!
