What made you try PEAK?
2017 was a rough year for me due to family issues which lead to very poor eating and little to no time for the gym. By the end of the year I knew if I didn’t make a change, things would get worse and be much harder to recover from. I pledged to myself in 2018 I would find the time and energy to focus on me.

What was your life like before, compared to how it is now?
When I started PEAK, stepping up on the box was a challenge, and now I can box jump. My endurance has increased tremendously and I am running 5k races. In my last race I hit a personal best and came first in the women's age category 50-59 (and I am at the oldest age of the category). Before PEAK I hated doing lunges, but now I can make it through a whole Body Pump lunge track without needing to stop. Along with healthy eating, PEAK has helped me lose 25 pounds.
What has been your biggest challenge?
In the beginning, I found it challenging to have enough stamina to make it through the APEX part of the Approach/Ascend/APEX workout model. Now I challenge myself each session to maximize the workout results. I do this by ensuring the move is completed correctly, since I’m more aware of the holding and moving my body with proper form is an important part of the workout.
Tell us about your motivation
Working out breathes life into me! It energizes me and reminds me that exercise is a privilege not a punishment. PEAK is awesome when I’m crunched for time, each session offers variety that is challenging, fun and extremely effective which keeps me motivated to return.
Tell us about the biggest difference you’ve noticed since starting your journey
My journey to get healthy started almost twelve years ago. But once I started the PEAK program it has given me so much in a short time. In addition to the visible body changes, I have noticed a change in how I feel. My energy levels are much higher, I sleep better and just plain feel better. I had shoulder pain for over 2 years, since joining PEAK, the daily pain is gone.

What are you hoping to achieve?
Without health one has nothing. Taking control of my health and wellbeing was the best decision I have made, one which will have lifelong benefits. I want to live a long, happy, healthy life. PEAK has helped awaken the athlete in me and I’d like to see that continue for years to come.
