MEMBER SPOTLIGHT
WELCOME SHANNON BIRCHFIELD
AS FEBRUARYS' SPOTLIGHT MEMBER!!
Hello, my name is Shannon Birchfield,
I am a long-time resident of Chiefland and I became a part of the Hometown Fitness family in the winter of 2018.
I made the decision when my toddler at the time could outrun and pretty much outdo me in any kind of physical play. I knew when I couldn't keep up with him, it was most definitely time to make a change.
In the spring of 2019, I hit a plateau on my fitness journey and many of my gym family recommended Lisa Kranz (the personal trainer here at Hometown fitness) for more guidance and knowledge in the gym. I have been coming to the gym here for 7 years and 6 of those years, under the guidance of Lisa. The gym is no longer a temporary weight loss tool for me, it has turned into a lifestyle, and I couldn't imagine life without Hometown Fitness.
I was always scared or embarrassed at possible judgement of my physical fitness status, if I was doing the machines right, or my looks and appearance but, when I first walked in, something just felt different about this gym.
I am so happy to find a gym family at Hometown Fitness, and it is a true blessing to be around such good, knowledgeable people, and welcoming staff.
