LifeStories
Lawrence L
Our featured LifeStory for April 2021
I'm so glad my company is investing in my continuing health in more ways than one, but the weekly habit of live classes to keep my momentum has been a huge value add in my daily habits.
Lifestart runs my company's gym but I had barely been on campus before we were all sent back to work from home so I never really got to know the staff at the campus gym.
My own Crossfit gym went out of business at the end of August thanks to all the restrictions and lack of willing members, which was a huge loss of community for me and I had fretted about what would keep me motivated and active.
Luckily the company gym had kept the online classes going using our corporate conferencing system. I managed to find occasions to block off my schedule so I could login 30 minutes here and there for Coach Rachel and Robert to lead me in classes such as Strength and Conditioning, HIIT, and even run occasional nutrition classes and provide personally curated workouts!
I'm so glad my company is investing in my continuing health in more ways than one, but the weekly habit of live classes to keep my momentum has been a huge value add in my daily habits. I've re-arranged my apartment so I have appropriate space for my workouts and even lost 15 pounds since I started frequenting the classes.
Thanks so much for all you do!
