From Nervous to Motivated: Leah's LIFT Performance Story

More Than a Gym: Finding a Real Community

Leah describes LIFT as a huge motivator to work out and work toward a healthier lifestyle, and she credits the community as the thing that sets it apart. Having people who support you, and who you can support back, makes a real difference in staying motivated to reach your goals. That two-way support system is something Leah says she hasn't found anywhere else.

Overcoming Nerves About Group Classes

Before joining LIFT, Leah had never done group fitness classes. She had always worked out alone or with a single friend, so walking into a group class setting made her nervous and a little intimidated. She says the coaches made the transition easy, because even though she was working out alongside other people, the experience still felt personalized to her.

That balance between group energy and individual attention changed how Leah feels about coming to the gym. She no longer feels any anxiety walking in. In fact, she says she's excited to show up every day, a shift she didn't expect when she first started.

Bigger Goals Through Shared Community

One of the most surprising parts of being at LIFT, according to Leah, is how much the community has motivated her to keep expanding her goals. She says working toward fitness goals with a group of people who support you changes the entire dynamic compared to trying to do it alone. It becomes a shared goal and a shared community, rather than an individual effort.

Coaches Who Bring Different Energy, Same Personal Attention

Leah specifically calls out coaches Tyler, Brian, and Connor as amazing, noting that each of them is different and brings their own energy to the classes they teach. She loves that variety, and says that despite the group setting, each coach still understands her personal goals and needs depending on the workout. That personalized approach within a group format is, in Leah's words, something she absolutely loves.
