Hi, my name is Paige, and I've been a REFt member for 2.5 years, and I'm excited to tell you about my story.
What do you do for a living?
I have been a dental hygienist for about 8 years now.
How did you hear about REVFIT?
I had friends tell me about REV and I had started to get into strength training on my own and was looking for some guidance and a little more with strength training.
What were you doing before REVFIT?
Group fitness I would just hop around studio to studio and try something out for a little bit and nothing ever really stuck for me before REVFIT.
What made REVFIT stick for you?
First, I felt like the work I was doing I was seeing results from. I was getting a lot of education on the things that I cared about in fitness. And the community, the whole atmosphere of the gym and everything I was learning just came together and made me love it.
What was your first session like?
My first experience, I felt really comfortable. Going into a new gym can be very intimidating, but everyone helped me along the way. Zac was there to really guide me and teach me, and I think that's what I really valued was just that hands on when I was doing a movement. I knew I was doing it correctly because he was right there to make sure the whole time.
What’s your favorite part of the workout sessions?
So my favorite part about taking a session is really seeing what my body is capable of. I feel like that's another thing REVFIT has brought to my fitness is I didn't realize how strong I could be, how strong I was, and so doing the movements as things progress, it's just cool to see each time what my body is capable of.
What were your goals when joining REVFIT?
Going into REVFIT, I really wanted that more toned look. It's one thing to lose weight and get smaller, but I was looking for some muscle definition. I wanted to find fitness that I loved.
What results have you seen?
I've seen my body fat percent go down and my muscle mass go up, which has also allowed me to be able to enjoy more calories in my food because it's caused my BMR (basal metabolic rate) to go up as well, which is always nice because who doesn't like to eat?
Did anything else change for you after joining REVFIT?
One of the things that I've really noticed is just in my work and my day to day life, I used to struggle with back pain all the time in dental hygiene. During my lunch breaks, I would go see a chiropractor because my back hurt so bad from hanging over patients like this all day and whatnot. And so that back pain has completely gone away. I go to work and I feel strong and my core feels strong, my back feels strong while I'm seeing my patients all day.
What are the trainers like at REVFIT?
The trainers at REVFIT just bring such great energy. They inspire you, they make you laugh, but then they also are just educating you so much. You feel so supported and guided in all your workouts. They're really hands on, so it helps you form that mind muscle connection and know that you're doing each workout correctly.
What is the community like at REVFIT?
The community at REVFIT is fun. There's nothing better than waking up in the morning and knowing I'm about to go work out with just a fun group of people. We're all there to get better and you form a lot of cool friendships out of it too. I met so many friends through REVFIT that are like my core friends now.
Anything else to add?
REVFIT is about getting strong, and that's mentally and physically. And you feel that energy every workout that you're in.
What would you say to someone who is thinking about trying REVFIT for the first time?
If you're nervous or have fears around trying out REVFIT, I challenge you to just push past that one time and I promise that's all it's going take for you to put those fears at ease.
