Last week, Nichole strung together 14 wall balls unbroken. When she started this round of personal training with Coach Jess, she was gassed at 7.
She doubled her capacity. On week four.
Here is what she walked into the gym carrying that night: an ER career, fire service, mom life, and a calendar that does not quit. She fueled up the way she and Coach Lis have been working on. Then she stepped to the wall and said one thing to herself.
"Just do it."
No micromanaging the squat depth. No counting reps to failure. No talking herself out of it before her body got the chance.
The math: 7 to 14, in four weeks of focused work with Jess. Building toward the NYX Doubles Hyrox she is running with Kate, then Hyrox singles in Boston this September.
The part she said stuck with her most? She was not even wrecked after. She finished the rest of the workout strong.
This is what shows up when consistent programming meets a person who decides to stop arguing with herself.
Proud of you, Nichole.
