October Athlete of the Month - Laura Dionne

This month, it is our absolute pleasure to honor Laura Dionne as our Athlete of the Month! Laura joined our fitness community in January 2022, driven by a desire to make a change in her life. Her sedentary job had been causing her persistent back pain, and she knew it was time for a transformation. At the outset, Laura wasn't entirely certain what she was seeking in a gym, but she had a clear vision in mind. She was in search of a fitness environment that not only provided support and guidance but also incorporated fun movements that resonated with the gymnast within her.

​We are delighted that Laura found her way to our gym, and her journey has been nothing short of inspiring. Every session she participates in is a testament to her unwavering commitment, and the results are undeniably evident. This past summer, Laura took on the Tough Mountain Challenge as part of "Team Wilcox," conquering obstacles with incredible confidence. During the race, she shared how her training program had profoundly impacted her life. 

​
​Laura could now sit on the floor, pain-free, to play with her daughter, endure long hours at her desk in her demanding career as a real estate agent, and relished the increasing challenges of her training sessions as she gained a deeper understanding of her body's capabilities.

As a devoted mother with a busy schedule, Laura draws inspiration from the incredible women who manage to prioritize fitness amidst their daily responsibilities. Even on the most chaotic days, she looks to these women for motivation. 

​She also finds inspiration within the training sessions themselves, recognizing the dedication our trainers invest to ensure each session is nothing short of exceptional. Like many working moms, Laura's life is a constant juggle. Balancing a career, personal life, parenting, and her other passions can make finding time for the gym a true challenge. Yet, Laura understands the importance of balance and lives by the 80/20 rule.

​On those exceptionally busy weeks, she grants herself a little grace, knowing that she can still focus on 80% of what's most important. When things ease up, she can pick up where she left off.

​After nearly two years in our training program, Laura exudes strength and vitality. She has not only rekindled her inner gymnast but also rediscovered herself. The ability to pursue anything in life without limitations is what we stand for at Wilcox Wellness & Fitness. Witnessing Laura's unwavering dedication and how it enhances her life fills us with joy and excitement. Her success is a testament to the exceptional training experience we strive to provide to all our clients.

​
Laura, keep up the incredible work! 
​We are eagerly looking forward to tackling obstacles alongside you once again at Sunday River next summer.

Your journey is an inspiration to us all, and we are incredibly proud to have you as our Athlete of the Month!
