What’s one interesting thing about you that other members may not know?
I absolutely love to golf. Competitively as a junior, and now more for fun (with the odd tournament), being at the golf course is my favorite thing.
What is your most memorable moment at Synergy Strength?
There are so many to mention. I remember when I started here, and was going through the OnRamp program, I was incredibly sad that I couldn’t do a pull-up (even with bands). A few months of doing ring rows later, I decided (with the encouragement of coaches) to try again. There were so many bands wrapped around the bar, but I climbed in and pulled myself up. I remember going out to my car and crying the whole way home. It was so symbolic for everything that I was trying to accomplish, and pulling myself up -no matter how much help was needed- was the bait that got me hooked to this crazy, wonderful place. To this day, every time I do a pull-up, I think about how much has changed, and it pushes me to keep getting stronger and moving forward.
When you talk about Synergy Strength with friends, what do you brag about?
The community, the quality of coaches, and how the hour (or two) that I am at the gym is the best part of my day. I brag that I workout at a place where dogs are running around, kids are following in their parents footsteps in the youth classes, and everyone is having fun, joking around and enjoying being part of it all.

#synergystrong means being inspired by all the exceptional individuals from all walks of life that lift big, work hard, push each other daily, and ultimately celebrate all the victories with you along the way
What is you favorite aspect of Synergy Strength?
The list could go on and on. I love the feeling that during a long day, or a busy week, I walk into the doors of Synergy and everything disappears. It is almost like coming “home”.
