Meet Margaret! A little bit about Margaret in her own words:
I’m Margaret! I grew up in Seattle and have lived here most of my life. I’ve been an athlete since I was a kid – including as a National Championship rower in high school. Now I run, bike (road & mountain), hike, and ski (skate & downhill). This past summer I ran a half marathon & Ragnar relay, learned to mountain bike, went on a 3-day, multi-family bike trip, and hiked Mt. Si, Mailbox Peak, and others in prep for a one-day thru hike of the Enchantments. I love being outside year-round, even when the weather is crap.
I live in NE Seattle with my husband, Kevin, our two boys, ages 7 & 9, and our dog Georgia (who sheds too much to come to the gym on a regular basis). When not outside, I like to bake, read, or cross-stitch while listening to podcasts.
How long have you been a member of GLSC?
I’ve been a member of GLSC since late 2022. But I was a member of NWCF back in 2014 when I was pregnant with my first kiddo and through his first year. Everything was so modifiable that it was a great way to stay in shape during pregnancy and the postnatal period!
How has being a part of the gym benefitted you?
I love when I get into a workout and just stop thinking about all of the other things that I have to do or are going on in the world. I just get to focus on doing the best I can at the workout and enjoying the sweat. It’s been good for my mental health. I also love the community at GLSC – the people and the coaches are welcoming. It just feels like a good place to be. I’m never mad that I made time to show up and workout.
What is your favorite movement or workout?
After coming to the gym, I found out that I really like lifting heavy things! I love the strength days and would like to keep improving my deadlift.
What is your favorite workout music?
90’s and 2000’s pop!
