๐ Member of the Month: Julie Brister ๐
If you've ever worked out with Julie, you know one thing for sure... if she's there, you're going to leave smiling. ๐
Julie is one of our OG members, and Her Gym simply wouldn't be the same without her. She's loud, proud, keeps us all laughing, and yes... we always feel a little safer knowing she's packing heat. ๐ Class is awfully quiet when she's gone... but thankfully, that's almost never because Julie always shows up.
Tired? She comes anyway.
Sore? She comes anyway.
Hard workout? She gives it everything she's got anyway...(aka: last Saturday).
But what makes Julie so special isn't just her consistencyโit's the way she cares for the women around her. If you walk in feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, or just having one of those days, she'll listen, encourage you, and probably make you laugh until you snort before class is over.
Julie says she feels like the "momma" of the group, and she loves being a role model for the younger women in our gym. Her reminder to all of us is simple: You don't have to work out... you GET to work out. Never lose your gratitude for a body that allows you to move.
One of Julie's favorite things about Her Gym is that it's a place where you can truly be yourself. "It's a place to get stronger and get a little therapy session while you're at it." We couldn't have said it better ourselves.
Her advice?
๐ Keep coming back.
๐ Keep getting sore.
๐ Eat smart... but don't forget to enjoy a bite of cake every now and then.
๐ You'll get out of your fitness journey exactly what you put into it.
Julie, thank you for the joy, encouragement, consistency, and heart you bring to Her Gym. We love you, we appreciate you, and we're so thankful you're part of this family. You are so deserving of being our Member of the Month! ๐
