Big Congrats! Amy R !!!!

Officially down 75 pounds! 🎉

What started 3½ years ago with a recommendation from a friend and a lot of hesitation has turned into one of the best decisions I've ever made.
After years of struggling with my weight and being inconsistent with exercise, I took a chance on personal training at Optimal Performance Fitness. I started training with Jake, and today I train with Meredith. I am incredibly grateful to both of them for their guidance, encouragement, and support throughout this journey.
Through personal training, group sessions, and the support of the amazing OPF community, I've gained so much more than I've lost. I've built strength, confidence, healthier habits, and friendships that have helped keep me motivated along the way.
Thank you to Jake, Meredith, the OPF staff, and everyone who has been part of this journey. Seventy-five pounds down and excited to keep going! 💪❤️

This client success story is just one of many. The best part of this is getting to be apart of her story. Her story starts and keeps going with just her. OPF just helps and facilitates! Goals are so important!! If you want help reaching your goals this summer, reach out and DM us! We’ll support you every step of the way.

WOW. What a day! 🩵

A huge THANK YOU to every participant, volunteer, sponsor, and local business that made Hustle the Block such an incredible success. Seeing our community come together, support local businesses, challenge themselves, and have fun along the way was truly amazing.

From wall sits to push ups, lunges to sprints, every stop was filled with energy, laughter, and teamwork. We couldn’t have asked for a better turnout or a better group of people to share the experience with.

Congratulations to all of our teams, and thank you for making the very first Hustle the Block one to remember!

We’re already counting down the days until we do it all again. See you next year for an even bigger and better Hustle the Block! 💪🏼

Thanks Abigail Olivia Studios for capturing the day 📸
