February Client of the Month - Rebecca Hill

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.

Becca’s biggest accomplishment in her training program is doing a box jump.  “It is mostly mind over matter and I think that overcoming fears of doing some of the exercises has been huge”.

The box jump is definitely a challenging exercise because it can feel scary.  We intentionally use the box jump in our training programs because it provides our clients with the opportunity to get out of their comfort zone and face their fears in a supportive environment.  When we’re able to face fears like this one it gives us the confidence to face our fears in life as well, and that can be huge!

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. 

Life isn’t perfect, and no one expects perfection from any of our clients…even our clients of the month.  What we do look for in our client of the month is someone who plans their training sessions and how their going to nourish their bodies with healthy foods, who shows up ready to work hard, and someone who learns from situations that arise from time to time so that they can be better prepared the next time that situation presents itself.  Becca truly embodies these simple principles - Preparation, Hard Work, and Learning from Failure, and is a true example within our community!

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.
