May Athlete of the Month - Kellie Stinson

5/11/2023

0 Comments

 
​As we get into the month of May we’re sending out a big shout out to our May Athlete of the Month, Kellie Stinson.

​
​Kellie started training with us through the KickStart Program in the Spring of 2019 and has been going strong ever since!

In the past year, Kellie has steadily worked towards improving her understanding and connection with her body during gym workouts. She takes pride in being able to control her movements and perform exercises with greater precision, which we have also observed. Kellie demonstrates a keen interest in comprehending the benefits of specific movements, allowing her to establish connections not only in the gym but also in her running routine. ​We enjoy supporting Kellie in making these deeper physical and intellectual connections, and we can see how her increased understanding motivates her to push herself even further in each exercise.
​
Kellie is an ultra marathon runner, and her love for running is matched by her unwavering commitment to her training in the gym. She's acutely aware of how her workouts at Wilcox Wellness & Fitness contribute to her running success, as evidenced by her consistent improvements in personal records and increased ease during runs.

​During the pandemic-induced gym closures, Kellie focused solely on her running training as an alternative to our virtual workout options while the gym was closed. However, she noticed a shift in her stamina and performance as she neglected her core strength without regular gym workouts. As soon as we reopened, Kellie eagerly returned to group sessions and immediately felt the difference in her core strength, consequently amplifying her running results.
​
​
As trainers, we know that the field of fitness is constantly evolving with new discoveries about body mechanics and how they impact our workouts.

​We are committed to staying ahead of the curve by always learning and updating our approach to best serve our clients. Kellie embodies this mindset, with an open-minded approach to new fitness approaches. While it can be challenging to adjust to changes after years or decades of doing things a certain way, Kellie has recognized the value in these adaptations. By observing and questioning these changes, she has strengthened her own understanding of how she can optimize her training for maximum benefit.

​Kellie's transformation goes beyond her outlook on physical activity, extending to her dietary habits as well. Initially, upon enrolling in the KickStart program, she firmly believed that tallying calories was the sole method to monitor her consumption, allowing her to confidently chart her course towards her objectives. However, our coaching prioritizes sustainable health and fitness solutions, as counting calories is not a viable long-term solution for most individuals. Instead, we educate our clients on cultivating healthy habits that can be sustained for life. 
​
​Kellie was receptive to this approach, eventually embracing it wholeheartedly and realizing that an intuitive eating method was truly efficacious. As a result, Kellie made notable strides towards her weight loss targets over the last several months.

We are incredibly proud of Kellie and the remarkable progress she has made thus far, as well as her continued progress with each training session. Fitness is not a one-size-fits-all approach, and we admire Kellie's tenacity and openness to trying out new approaches to find what works best for her. It is thrilling to witness her putting in such dedicated effort and seeing the positive outcomes as a result. Being part of her training journey has been a delightful experience.

​Kellie, we are cheering you on and thrilled to support you as you strive towards your goal of running the Disney World 2025 Dopey Running Series in celebration of your 60th birthday. Your hard work is paying off, and we cannot wait to see all that you achieve!
