What is your most memorable moment at Synergy Strength?
Finally doing a kipping pull-up without bands for the first time – it took me well over a year to reach that goal.
When you talk about Synergy Strength with friends, what do you brag about?
I brag about actually looking forward to going to the gym, how it gets my day started off with a great boost of energy (I always go at 7am), and how motivating the group workouts are. Finally, I brag about how my strength and muscle tone as increased while my belt size has decreased.
