December Athlete of the Month - Liz Phillips

12/2/2024

Join us in congratulating Liz Phillips, our December Athlete of the Month!
​

Liz’s story is one of courage, determination, and transformation. She joined us here at Wilcox Wellness & Fitness in January, seeking to prepare for an active adventure hiking the Dolomites in Italy with her 76-year-old hiking partner. At the time, she didn’t feel confident in her physical abilities and wanted to ensure she could keep up without injury or exhaustion. Now, nearly a year later, Liz reflects on her progress with gratitude, joy, and newfound confidence.
​
"I just want to thank you, Bree, and Tyler for being so encouraging and wonderful," Liz shared. "It's hard to express how grateful I am and how awesome it feels to be feeling strong again! I love it!"

​
Before joining the gym, Liz had a pattern of starting at fitness centers with enthusiasm, only to overdo it, become sore, and eventually stop going. At Wilcox, however, she found an environment that allowed her to build strength gradually and sustainably. With the guidance of her trainers, she embraced a consistent routine that not only boosted her energy but also alleviated the aches and pains she previously experienced.

​Her preparation paid off. Liz’s trip to the Dolomites was everything she had hoped for. “I was able to do all the things I wanted to do and had the energy and strength to do it!” she said proudly.
​
Overcoming Barriers, Embracing Strength
​

When Liz first began training, even the idea of a jumping jack felt daunting. "It felt like my legs and feet might crumble," she admitted. Today, she not only tackles jumping jacks but feels stronger and more confident with every move.
​

Liz particularly enjoys exercises like the log toss and TRX row, which have helped her feel muscles she never thought she’d connect with again. "I can actually feel my lats now, and they’re strong!" she said. Her least favorite? The kettlebell swing. But Liz’s mindset is about progress, not perfection. She’s committed to mastering it in time.

Liz’s transformation goes far beyond physical strength. She shared that her journey at Wilcox has given her renewed confidence in herself and her body, which has had a positive impact on her personal life. After years of being on her own following a divorce, Liz is now dating and feels good about herself—a milestone she credits to her improved self-esteem and well-being.
​

The supportive and inclusive atmosphere at Wilcox has been another highlight of Liz’s journey. “The atmosphere is fantastic! So many nice people, no judgment. I’ve made new friends,” she shared. The group training model also resonates deeply with her, reminding her of the sense of teamwork she loved during her high school sports days.

Liz’s story is a testament to what can happen when you take that first step—even if it feels daunting. She has proven that small, consistent actions can lead to big changes, and her journey serves as an inspiration to anyone hesitant about starting their own health and fitness journey.

To those considering taking that leap, Liz would say this:
​"Find a place that supports you, challenges you, and
​helps you grow at your own pace. It’s worth it.”


Congratulations, Liz, on all your hard work, incredible accomplishments, and the example you set for others. Your journey reminds us all of the power of perseverance, community, and the joy of rediscovering strength.

​
