✨Member Spotlight✨ Meet Patience! A little about Patience in her own words: Hi! I’m basically a hoarder of hobbies. When I’m not at the gym, I’m working, baking, knitting, making mead, painting, baking bread, or tending my garden. And no matter what I’m doing, my rescue dogs are always right there with me—Ozzie, my Chihuahua, and Captain James T. Kirk, my Pittie. I’ve got a habit of starting home improvement projects at the worst times (like the night before a vacation). My main goal is to switch from working in finance to being a full-time author, and I’m happy to say I’m making progress—got my first publishing contract back in May! How long have you been a member of GLSC? I’ve been a member since October 2024, so I’m still kinda new around here. How has being a part of the gym benefitted you? I could go on forever about this, but I’ll keep it quick. It’s all about making things fun and focusing on growing, not getting smaller. Since joining, I’ve done stuff I never thought I would—or even wanted to! That boost in confidence has pushed me to go after other goals. Plus, the humans in my classes inspire me every day. It’s like I’ve found my 3rd place (or maybe 2nd place since I work from home). What is your favorite movement or workout? Deadlift was the first kinda heavy lift where I actually felt like I crushed it. It’ll always be a fave of mine. And burpees… just kidding, those are the worst! But I do like a good walking lunge. What is your favorite music or pump-up song? Honestly, I don’t have a strong opinion here. I’m into 70s/80s rock, but as long as it has a good bass line to keep a steady pace, I’m happy. What is your favorite thing about the specialty classes you attend? My favorite thing about the specialty classes is definitely the people, coaches included. When my day’s been trash, the camaraderie just lifts me up. The second thing I love is the coaching itself. I can see myself getting stronger month after month, and a lot of that is because of how the classes are set up and the coaching I get during each session. Thank you for being part of the GLSC community, Patience! #gymcommunity #glsc #functionalfitness #memberspotlight
