In Shape Fitness has been a life-changing part of my journey. As someone who never played sports and focused on music and dancing, I never imagined competing in a bodybuilding competition- let alone placing first in Bikini! Joining In Shape nine years ago with friends, as well as working out with my husband when we started dating, was the beginning of something incredible.

This community isn’t just about fitness; it’s about support, encouragement, and growth.

From Spartan Races to honoring those we lost on 9/11 and recognizing our first responders in GoRuck events, I’ve challenged myself in ways I never thought possible. The support I received during prep and at my competition from the In Shape community was amazing!

I can never show enough appreciation for their encouragement and for coming to the event. Their kindness and support inspire me to pay it forward every day.
