I am so happy to be celebrating Becca Hill as our February client of the month! Becca started training with us this past summer. As the Mom of two young children she wanted to gain energy, feel better, and be an active Mom while also gaining strength and muscle tone. She knew that working out at home just wasn’t an option. It’s difficult to keep up with a routine at home and she knew that she’d find motivation when working in a group setting. I’m so happy that Becca found us and trusted us to guide her on a path towards reaching her goals. After just 6 months Becca is already noticing improved energy levels through her commitment to doing something good for herself. She sees this gain in energy as a real victory given that she achieved it during a pandemic while also raising her two young and active boys.
Nutrition is a big part of getting great results, and Becca has recognized over the course of her training program that not planning for her healthy snacks can really set her up for a crummy day. When we identify healthy habits that set our day up for success it’s also important to consider what obstacles can get in the way….because they will! And when we can anticipate those obstacles we can be prepared to overcome them. Becca tries to include her snacks in her weekly meal planning and get them ready the night before, but sometimes that doesn’t happen with everything else that’s going on, but Becca is prepared with a plan for these circumstances. If she does need to stop for a quick snack she tries to make time to run into the grocery store for something healthy rather than resort to fast food convenience.
Great work Becca. We are all so happy to have you in our community and to have the opportunity to support you in reaching your health & fitness goals.

Each month when we consider the Client of the Month we think about people who are so committed to their health & fitness journey that they have become acutely aware of how this commitment has impacted their lives on a daily basis. When we truly recognize the impact that the healthy habits that we create are having on our life we tend to be more committed to keeping up those new habits, and through that consistency we begin to experience the long term results that we are always after when starting a health & fitness program.
This month we’re honoring Laurie Beck as our January Client of the month. Laurie joined us in June 2021 with a goal of getting stronger and more tone. When I asked Laurie why it was important for her to get stronger and feel more tone she talked about how feeling strong brings a smile to her face. She enjoys hiking, skiing and kayaking and wanted to feel stronger while doing those kinds of activities. You can imagine my delight when Laurie shared with me that her commitment to health & fitness has made her feel happier overall, more energized, and more mindful. One way that Laurie has been mindful is through her awareness about how her Morning Mojo routine has made her feel. Morning Mojo is an age-old concoction of freshly squeezed lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and grated ginger added to water. There are all kinds of health benefits associated with daily consumption of Morning Mojo including a boost to the immune system, digestive benefits, and more. For Laurie it sets the tone for her day. She notices the mental benefit and how this start to her day helps her want to continue the momentum by making one good decision after another throughout the day.
She takes responsibility for what she needs to do to take care of her body, she recognizes the benefits of her actions, and that motivates her to keep up her momentum through consistent actions. We are all so proud of Laurie and all that she has achieved since joining our community, and we are so happy to have the opportunity to support her in this journey. We would love to welcome YOU to our community!

challenging, effective, or helps us in the undoing of the compensations that occur through the stress that life puts upon our physical selves.
Angela demonstrates her commitment to her TRAINING by learning how to recognize when she’s using proper form or not, and when she is unsure of the proper technique she’s never afraid to ask, and this is precisely what allows her to get better each day. We know that getting started in a gym can be scary and intimidating, and that’s why I’m so proud of the incredible community of people, just like Angela, who make up Wilcox Wellness & Fitness. When I asked Angela what she’d tell someone who is ready to commit to health & fitness but isn’t sure where to start, or may be nervous about making that first step she said “As someone who would have never thought to join a group training class, I would tell someone just to try it. By just trying it, they're starting their first step.” And I hope you listen to her advice. We are here to support you every step of the way, and we take our promise of meeting you where you are very seriously. If you’re interested in getting started, give our Free 2-week TRIAL a try.

It’s that time again when we get to celebrate the client of the month, and this month I am so happy to be celebrating Rachel Garland. Rachel joined us in January 2020 with the goal of feeling good, having more energy and being stronger, and there is no doubt that Rachel has achieved each of those goals. Getting started in a gym can be incredibly intimidating, and Rachel was feeling that too, but she had support behind the scenes who provided her with the encouragement to get started. For that I couldn’t be more grateful, because it’s through this support that Rachel found the confidence deep down to show up on that very first day. Rachel committed to herself right from the beginning. She relied upon support inside and outside of the gym when her anxiety got the best of her and she kept on showing up for herself. As we got to know each other and Rachel’s confidence grew, the insecurities began to fade away, and Rachel’s time at the gym became her time. Time that she truly valued. In March of 2020 we all know what happened. The pandemic hit. Rachel is a teacher, and one other thing that we all know is that teachers had to pivot harder than almost anyone. To be honest, even as a brand-new business realizing that I needed to find my way through a pandemic I felt for teachers (and healthcare workers) more than anyone. I had it easy in comparison. Teachers had to figure out how to teach remotely, which in itself was something completely new for teachers to figure out, but they also were faced with the worry for some of those kiddos who they knew didn’t have the best of circumstances at home. The start of the pandemic was a tough time for families, and teachers were more aware than anyone about the struggles that some of their students were going to face by not coming to school each day. Rachel never used this as an excuse. It wasn’t an excuse to stop showing up for her students, and it wasn’t an excuse to stop showing up for herself either. One day Rachel called me. She was feeling a little stressed about making time for getting to the gym. At first, I thought she was worried about finding the time with everything that was going on, but the real stress was coming from her guilt in cancelling and rescheduling her sessions as she tried to figure out how to fit it into her schedule. In true Rachel fashion she was worried about the impact that this was having on me and my trainer team. I reminded Rachel that we create our scheduling process with a purpose. We allow our clients to cancel and reschedule with just one hour notice knowing that life often doesn’t work out the way we planned when we woke up that morning, and in the case of this pandemic, what we had planned could change hour to hour, and that’s okay. What matters is that you keep working on figuring it out and prioritizing what is most important. And that’s exactly what Rachel was doing. I assured her that she can and should reschedule as many times as she needed to until she figured out how to get to her training sessions for the week. With that reassurance Rachel leveled up even more. Some days she would email letting me know that she may be a few minutes late, but she was on her way, and each and every time she showed up. Period. Rachel’s progress at the gym hasn’t just been about physical results. It has also been about mental results. Rachel’s biggest accomplishment has been all about breaking through her own insecurities and anxieties about working out. As a result, her self-confidence has grown immensely, as well as her ability to advocate for herself. She has made herself a priority and that has been huge!!! Like so many people, the biggest obstacle that gets in the way is LIFE!
Every time Rachel comes into the gym, she has a big smile on her face. She brings her positive energy into every training session ready to work hard. It’s contagious and I’m certain that it’s felt by everyone else who is in the session with her.. She is always learning about how her body moves, she listens to her body when it needs some adjustments to be made, and she works hard even when she is faced with her least favorite exercises – pushups and burpees.
Congratulations Rachel! We are super proud of you and honored to be on your health & fitness journey with you! Join me in congratulating Kendray Rodriguez, our Client of the Month! We are all so proud of everything that Kendray has accomplished since she started her training program with us in May. Kendray joined us through our Greatest Gift Program after learning about us from a friend, and we couldn’t be more happy that Kendray found her way to us. She brings energy and focus to every training session, and is always working to improve how she moves her body, and it’s paying off! When I asked Kendray what her biggest accomplishment has been this what she said: “I try not to focus on numbers BUT one of my proudest moments so far would definitely have to be the day I stepped on the scale and saw a number under 200. The last time I was on this side of the 200lb mark was 9 years (and many failed crash diets) ago".
“I can't count the number of times I psyched myself out before I finally pushed past my fear and just DID it!
My time at Wilcox has taught me that I can do hard things and, moreover, that I am worth the effort of doing those hard things. I have more drive, more determination, and I'm kinder to myself.” And that’s what it’s all about! We love seeing the ripple effect that committing to health & fitness has for our clients, and Kendray is no exception! Kendray, we are so proud of you and so happy to be on this journey with you! Keep up the great work!

Each month we recognize one client who has really inspired us, through their commitment to themselves, and to their health & wellness. This month we are very excited to be recognizing a couple who have truly committed to their health & fitness TOGETHER - Tom & Diane Sturgeon.
This isn’t to say that it was easy, but no excuses were made and consistent efforts were put forth to try to find ways to overcome the obstacles that this pandemic created. As we emerge on the other side of this past year both Tom & Diane have stayed committed to their weight loss goals and have seen results. Over the winter they spent time at camp cross country skiing and snowmobiling together, where Tom had the opportunity to connect with his abs - a muscle group that we focus on during our training sessions. Core strength is a critical component of health & fitness at all ages, and Tom had an opportunity to experience that first hand this winter. When he first joined back in 2019 he shared a story about a fall on the ice that he took in his yard. He hit his head and suffered a concussion, something he wanted to avoid in the future through his commitment to getting stronger and focusing on balance and stability.
Great job Tom & Diane! We are so proud of both of you and can’t wait to see what the future holds for you both.
Each month we recognize one client who has really inspired us through their commitment to themselves and to their health & wellness . We are really excited to be recognizing Rachel Garland!
Perhaps we worry that the problem is with us and we need to just figure it out. Admitting to challenges with exercises may feel like admitting to failure, but that’s just not the case. It is through recognizing how our body feels, asking questions, and accepting help that adjustments can be made to dial in the movement and get the intended results.

Kate has worked hard in her training program since day 1. Every time Kate comes in to train she is ready to work hard and give it her very best. Kate accepts every challenge that we present to her whether that's tackling a new movement, moving faster in conditioning movements, or increasing the resistance and focus in strength movements. She is always looking to add that extra 1% in every training session and all of those incremental gains have really been adding up!
