And for our π¦π²π½ππ²πΊπ―π²πΏ π π²πΊπ―π²πΏ πΌπ³ π§π΅π² π πΌπ»ππ΅, we'd like to brag on the heart & soul of the 6 am class- ππ’π¦ππ! Since joining in January of this year, she's made Monthly Maniac status nearly every month, with130 Check-Ins to date! Thats 130 times that she CHOSE herself. She works out at 6 am before work and shows up to the gym not because anyone was making her (well maybe some of the other 6 am baddies) but because she carved out that time in the day to stay committed to her health and wellness. She encourages everyone around her, has a positive attitude and is exactly the type of person that we are SO proud to have as part of the CFT family π
