I’m Theresa, a Realtor with Windermere. My favorite color is pink, and I love staying busy and active. I enjoy grocery shopping, drinking wine, breaking bread with friends, and laughing! I lived in Beijing with my family for 5.5 years. I have a 26-year-old daughter and an 18-year-old son, both trained lifeguards and swim instructors. I also have a Bernedoodle and two kittens.
Why did you choose to sign up for Individualized Design at GLSC?
I’ve been an ID member since its inception. ID gives me the best of both worlds. I have Nate as my coach, who programs my workouts, adjusts them to fit my skill level as needed, and listens to my excitement and concerns. He’s able to tweak my exercises as my confidence builds. I work out with five others, each following their own programs with different coaching. I love working closely with Coaches Christian, Zeyab, and Olivia on a regular basis. ID is the perfect way for me to be involved while still focusing on building my confidence. Balance, core strength, agility, and confidence are the cornerstones of my belief in aging gracefully.
How long have you been a member of GLSC?
I joined in March 2022.
How has being a part of the gym benefited you?
The social and community aspect here is the best! I’ve even helped two members buy their first homes. Being a part of GLSC has significantly impacted my life by boosting my overall confidence—I never believed I could do an active hang, deadlift, or even bunny hops. My fitness, balance, strength, confidence, and friendships have all grown exponentially.
What is your favorite movement or workout?
I have a love-hate relationship with everything—but I love my active hangs on Wednesdays, the 120+ lunges on Mondays, and stair runs on Fridays. These are the three things I dread the most but feel the most accomplished when I conquer them.
What is your favorite music or pump-up song?
My favorite music is Coach Antonio’s playlists. I wish I could have all his music on my phone! (I’m very technically challenged and don’t know music artists.) I love working out when he’s coaching.
