⨠SEPTEMBER | GRACELYN GITTENS āØ
Hi SALT family! My name is Gracelyn, Iām 21 and Iām originally from Antigo, WI! I recently moved to the Wausau area to be closer to my boyfriend, where we have created our own little home together with our golden retriever, Milo, and kitten, Mittens. Outside of the studio, I work as a Registered Behavioral Technician at an autism center, where I get to work with some of the best kids every day. Iām also a part-time student studying Human Services, so life definitely gets busy! When Iām not working or doing schoolwork Iām usually either at Pilates, the gym, or off on an adventure! I love going on nature walks with Milo, exploring new places, being outdoors, & seeing as much of the world as I can. Iām always looking for a new place to explore or a new memory to make with the people I love. Iāve always loved being active and have been involved in sports for as long as I can remember, I played volleyball, basketball & softball throughout my life. After high school, I fell in love with weightlifting & enjoyed pushing myself, getting stronger & seeing what my body was capable of. I wanted to step outside of my comfort zone & challenge my body in a different way, which is what led me to Pilates! I originally started coming to SALT because I wanted to get stronger & feel more confident in my body, but it quickly became so much more than just a workout. Over time, Iāve truly fallen in love with movement & with finding ways to make my body feel strong and capable. Pilates has become a time for me to step away from the craziness of my everyday life, focus on myself, and leave class feeling stronger both physically and mentally. What I appreciate most about the SALT community is that it has given me so much more than I ever expected. Since moving to the Wausau area, Iāve met so many amazing people through SALT & have made friendships that I truly believe will last a lifetime. Having a community of people who encourage, support & celebrate each other has made the studio feel like a second home to me! SALT has given me a place to grow, challenge myself & meet so many amazing people! I'm forever grateful! š¤
