Marissa Felices just competed in the United States Powerlifting Coalition and brought home 1st place in her division! 🏆
“I joined the gym because I was looking for early morning strength classes and found this one. It didn’t take long to fall in love with the 5:30 AM crew. They make rolling out of bed that early three days a week something I actually look forward to.
Through those classes, I got to know Ryan better. When he suggested I try powerlifting, I laughed… Me? A powerlifter?
But his belief in me made me want to take a chance on myself—and that’s when I realized I was stronger than I ever thought possible.
Now here I am at my first powerlifting meet, all because I walked into a small gym in Middletown. I can’t thank this place enough—for the community, the confidence, and the people who show up, lift heavy, and support each other every morning.”
We are so proud of you, Marissa! Your hard work, consistency, and willingness to step outside your comfort zone truly paid off. This is just the beginning! 🔥
