My story started years ago when I was diagnosed with the BRKA 1 gene for cancer. I did not know what my life would be like after the surgeries but I know I had to have the double mastectomy and hysterectomy because my mother had breast cancer and ovarian cancer and I am not a gambler. It was not even a year later that I was told I had osteoarthritis, which was hard to hear at my young age. For years I have gone to the gym and lifted weights on my own, not able to afford a personal trainer. Several fast forward and after many different bone medications, shots, and endless amounts of vitamins, I was having pains in my lower back. I couldn't sit for long periods. I got to where I couldn't tie my shoes without pain and started to have to use a walker when my sciatica nerve flared up. I received a diagnoses that my arthritis was now in my lower spine and I also had disc degenerative disease. My doctor gave me the option of PT three days a week and to see a surgeon. I was desperate not to have surgery and asked to research on my own to find a trainer. I was told about this new place called Tr1be Fitness by my coworker and decided to give it a try. There are several trainers, a range of different classes to meet all of your workout needs, and women just like me struggling to stay young and healthy. Just 6 months into my workouts I've lost weight, feel better than I have in years but most importantly, I am not using a walker and I can tie my shoes without any pain at all. I am forever grateful to have found a place that is like having a personal trainer without the expense. There is such a diverse crowd of people all having one goal, and we support each other. We are a family working hard to become a better version of ourselves every day. I have come farther in 6 months with Tr1be than I have in 5 years doing this on my own. I am forever grateful for my new family and to all the amazing trainers. Strive better than you were yesterday but not as good as you will be tomorrow.
