Aurora Women’s Fitness? Well where do I begin? I’ve been here even before the doors were officially opened in April 2006…and since then, it’s been a part of who I am.
I’ve grown up here.
It’s kept me balanced. Sane. Happy!
Let’s be honest…staying on track with your fitness goals is not easy. It takes dedication – a commitment to oneself and the willingness to work hard! But stick with it and I guarantee that it will become part of your lifestyle and one day when you least expect it, you will look in the mirror and notice the change.
For me, my crazy workout schedule is more than just for the physical benefits. It’s about:
• managing my stress levels
• being a healthy, positive example for my children
• getting a good score on my annual physical
• surrounding myself with great people (many who’ve become great friends), who share many of the same values as I do
Being fit is not just the motion of lifting a barbell or running on the treadmill; nor is it a one time deal. Being fit is about taking the time to take care of you in all your dimensions - physically, mentally and emotionally!
My Aurora community has kept me strong…balanced. It’s contributed to my energy levels; it’s turned some challenging days into not-so-bad-after-all days; and it’s helped me keep my head in the right place through life’s chaos.
We really do have something special here…and I am so thankful to be a part of it!
