July Athlete of the Month - Barbara Piccirillo

7/6/2022

0 Comments

 
This month we are celebrating our Athlete of the Month - Barbara Piccirillo.  Barbara joined the Wilcox Community in February, 2021 and then when she was ready to up the ante with her focus on nutrition she joined the KickStart program in March, 2022.

Barbara is so much fun to work with.  She is willing to get out of her comfort zone and learn new movements, recognizing that with each repetition she gets closer and closer to connecting to the movement and truly recognizing the benefits that it brings to how she moves in her daily life. 

When Barbara first joined our community she was concerned about some limitations in one of her hips, and understandably she wants to avoid a hip replacement surgery for as long as possible.  With this in mind Barbara would adapt movements with the modifications that the trainer team provided, allowing her to do each movement with confidence and building strength in her hip along the way. 
As she has gained more strength & balance she has increased her confidence in the movements that we do in the gym allowing her to continue to push herself to places that she never expected in her health & fitness.

Earlier this spring Barbara joined the KickStart program.  It’s not unusual for people to join our training programs and need to break down each piece of the commitment to their overall health & fitness long term.  We talk a lot about the value of making small, incremental improvements over time, setting our clients up for success with long term and sustainable lifestyle change.  For Barbara she wanted to focus on getting consistent with her exercise program, attending sessions 3 times a week.

​Barbara is a regular in our early morning sessions, which allows her to start her day off on a positive note that will carry her through everything on her to-do list for the day.  Once she felt confident that she had built consistency in her training program she looked to the KickStart program and the community that is made up by the other participants to get additional support and accountability around her nutrition.  Barbara has always been mindful about what she eats, but through the KickStart program she made small adjustments that further shaped a positive mindset around nourishing her body with healthy nutritious foods the majority of the time, and recognizing that an occasional “splurge” doesn’t mean that it needs to lead to a downward spiral.  When we make a choice to have a special treat it’s important that we enjoy this treat and not feel guilty about our choice.

​Next, we get right back on track with our very next healthy meal.  When we make conscious choices about enjoying an occasional treat we build balance in our nutritional habits that are sustainable and set us up for long term success.

Barbara has been an incredible role model both in her commitment to her training program, and in the insights that she shared with her KickStart crew as she found balance in her nutritional habits and consistency in her training routine.

We are so excited to be recognizing Barbara and all of her accomplishments over the past 8 months that she has been part of the Wilcox Community.
