July Athlete of the Month - Debbie Gillies

We are so excited to celebrate Debbie Gillies as our Athlete of the Month! Debbie’s journey is a true testament to the power of consistency, courage, and community.
​

When Debbie first stepped through our doors, her goal was simple yet powerful: to show up, stay accountable, and take those first steps toward feeling better about herself. The early days weren’t easy — she remembers fighting back tears just trying to get through class — but she stuck with it. Today, she stands stronger, more confident, and proud of what she’s accomplished.
​
One of Debbie’s biggest wins is building the habit of regular exercise and prioritizing her workouts as a central part of her life. 

 She’s created a routine that supports her physical and mental health, scheduling her day around her sessions and making her nutrition a priority. And she’s seeing the difference — feeling better, more connected to her body, and celebrating the confidence that comes with it.
​

Debbie’s favorite movements these days? Halo slams, bridges, and sit-ups — all things she’s proud to be able to do now. And while burpees and ropes might not be her favorites, her determination to keep showing up proves just how strong she truly is.

For Debbie, the Wilcox community has been a game changer. The support of her 5:30am crew, her coaches, and the energy of everyone around her have motivated her to keep going, even on the toughest days. She credits her parents, who taught her the value of hard work and kindness, and her husband, who has always believed in her, as her lifelong inspirations.
​

Today, Debbie’s story is proof that change happens one commitment at a time — one training session at a time — with a community that lifts you up. 
​

She says it best: “Find the right fit for a gym. A community that becomes like family, and a place you look forward to going to. Then just keep showing up even when you don’t want to.”

​Debbie, we are so proud of everything you’ve accomplished, and we are honored to be part of your journey.

​Congratulations on being our Athlete of the Month — you’ve earned every bit of this celebration!
