"I realized that after being retired for 8 years I needed to get healthier with some diet and lifestyle changes. That included getting in shape and exercising. So when my friend Donna said she and Sharon joined the Women’s Gym I became one of the "Three Musketeers".
Having workout buddies helps keep me motivated! Ann, our trainer, got me started on equipment that met the goals that I was aiming for. It’s fun going to the gym! I have never felt intimidated by the equipment. There is always someone who will show you how to use it. The atmosphere is really welcoming. The staff and members are super friendly, and everyone is always in such a good mood!
When I leave the gym after my workout I always feel better both physically and mentally!
Since I started going to the gym, I have lost weight, my strength and mobility has improved, my balance is better, and my energy level has increased!
I walk more and love to find hiking trails. Made it up to the lookout at Trempealeau this fall. Walked with the Fit4Life team in the Sparta Stampede. Donna and I actually got 2nd and 3rd in our age group! I feel great and am enjoying retirement and my grandson even more!"
