July Athlete of the Month - Marilyse Danforth

Join us in congratulating our July Athlete of the Month, Marilyse Danforth!  ​

Marilyse began training with us in August 2022 and has made remarkable progress in reaching her goals. 

​When she joined our trial program, her main focus was on gaining energy, improving her well-being, and building confidence so that she could show up as her best self and have the energy to do everything she loves. After nearly a year, she has lost an incredible 40 pounds, reduced pain in her body, increased her energy levels, and improved her overall strength. Marilyse, that's an amazing feat to be proud of!

​As a mother to a 9-year-old son, Marilyse's commitment to her health and fitness also serves as a significant motivator. Maintaining motivation isn't always easy, but Marilyse highlights the importance of finding balance in life and believing in oneself. Perfection isn't the goal; what truly matters is getting back on track even after falling out of routine. Regardless of how many times one needs to regroup, the effort is always worth it.

The WILCOX Trainer Team has been thoroughly impressed with Marilyse's consistency and dedication. She adheres to a regular training schedule and works hard to manage competing priorities, ensuring she makes time for what's important to her. Marilyse approaches each training session with a strong work ethic, focusing on areas of improvement and constantly striving to enhance her movement. It is this unwavering commitment that has allowed her to achieve such incredible results.

When asked for her advice on committing to health and fitness, Marilyse wisely stated, 
​"If you don't sacrifice for what you want, then what you want becomes the sacrifice." 
​
These words serve as a valuable reminder when we struggle to take the necessary steps toward our overall health, wellness, and ultimately, happiness.

Marilyse, we are incredibly proud of you and look forward to supporting you throughout your health and fitness journey. Keep up the fantastic work!
