Tell us a little bit about yourself:
I am a school-based OT practitioner in Nashville charter schools. I’m currently learning to work with therapy dogs so I can have the happiest job in the world. I’ve lived in Nashville for about 5 years and love going to concerts/shows down here. I have a big family in Cleveland, Ohio, where my fiance (newly engaged!) and I love to visit. In my freetime, I like dancing, snacking, and crafting. And stickers.
What were your goals when you started training?
I came to H Dub wanting to feel stronger and more energetic performing day-to-day activities.
How long have you been at H Dub and how did you get into it?
I started at H Dub in March 2024- I needed to get some consistency and accountability in my life so I started with personal training and group classes and here we are!
What is your favorite/least favorite thing we do in training?
I like barbell exercises and learning gymnastic skills best. My least favorite thing is running.
How has H Dub positively affected you?
So many positives! Since I’ve started at H Dub I feel more confident about strength training/workouts in general again. When I come to class, I know I will leave with a sense of accomplishment and feel glad that I sucked it up and went to class. The community and environment at H Dub overall is truly positive and embraces you as you are. I really appreciate that the coaches and programming can meet you where you are any given day.
What advice do you have for newcomers?
Just do it! At the very least, you’ll get high fives and jam to good music- that’s a pretty good time.
