Meet Amanda! This is Amanda’s *second* spotlight because of this girl’s ability to walk to talk across all blessings and trials. Check it out!
Originally from NY, this Nayy girl found herself stationed in Virginia Beach, where later she moved to Corapeake, “making Suffolk my main hub for most things needed in life.”
“I first saw C-FIT walking down the street in Suffolk. I made the call because I wanted to have a child and was having trouble getting pregnant. Having PCOS and being overweight is a constant struggle, and with being heavy comes infertility.”
When asked about what changes she’s seen since working out at C-FIT, Amanda says, “So this is a hard one because I have been a member of C-FIT on and off since 2018. I started my journey for a baby, lost 80lbs, was able to get pregnant, and birthed my son James in May 2020. He’s actually one of the first C-FIT babies!”
“I trained through most of my pregnancy until complications and the adjustment to mom-life made it difficult to come back to the gym, but we also know some of it was just making excuses. July 2024, I started again, trying to recover some of “me” outside of just mom-life.”
And boy has she ever! This woman is someone who knows how to apply her discipline. She knows her body, had learned how to feed it, fuel it, heal it, and it is inspiring to watch her work not only in spite of her limitations, but with them. She lost 80lbs before getting pregnant, gained some back, and lost a huge chunk again before she even returned to the gym to tone up. She is a powerhouse!
Since returning to C-FIT, she’s noticed changes of “just being more active in general, more hiking outside with my son, more running and playing with him. The ability to enjoy the day more with less aches and pains in my body.”
What separates C-FIT from other gyms is “the motto of “we take your fitness personally.” During the entire time I’ve been on and off of C-FIT, I’ve never lost contact with them. They continue to check in and care, not for their own financial benefit, but because they truly want to.”
Amanda, you have no idea how special you are to us all. You are a C-FIT family member for life!
Any advice you’d give to someone new starting their fitness journey?
“Show up. The hardest part is showing up. Start with square one, and show up.”
Lastly, would you recommend C-FIT to a friend?
“100% yes. I have trained with multiple trainers at C-FIT and have never been disappointed.”
Amanda. There’s so much I could say, but we have been honored and blessed to be a part of not only your fitness journey, but your journey into becoming a mother. We are so proud of you and are constantly impressed with how your good habits are positively benefitting your son. Great job, mama. Thank you for blessing us, and we look forward to seeing what else we can achieve moving forward.
