FEATURED MEMBER: Beverly

This week's Featured Member is Bev.  She's been around the gym a while, and she tries lots of different things.  She keeps a healthy sense of humor about being healthy.

Tell us a little about yourself.
Hi my name is Bev  and I enjoy being in motion.  My interests involve bicycling, hiking/walking, being with and helping people, travel and just going out and getting lost... Getting lost by bike or in the woods always leads to an adventure. 

What is your usual weekly workout routine?
My typical workout routine starts on Tuesday with RPM followed by Zumba. Wednesday I train with Amanda to gain strength, improve my posture, and to work out other dysfunctions.  This is followed by cardio of some sort.  If there is gas left in the tank, I finish the night with CXWORX. Thursday is combat night and light strengthening.  Friday is an off day.  Saturday we jump start our weekend with super RPM and Pilates.  Sunday is body day starting with flow and finishing with combat.  
Monday is a day off or an hour with Kris Anthonsen for a massage.

What are your go-to snacks and meals?
All food is fair game.  LOL!  Quite often during a bike ride or a workout routine I will have food fantasies of spaghetti, tuna fish sandwiches, chicken noodle soup, cookies, and pancakes.  Bring it!  Lol

How do you balance being active with the demands of your daily life?
Balancing work and the things I enjoy takes a bit a discipline and a tremendous sense of humor to roll with all of the demands on our time and energies.  In the large picture of things, I have made exercise a priority because it is such a healthy outlet.

What is a fitness or healthy living goal you have for yourself?
My personal goal is life balance and to continue to heal/ strengthen shoulder issues to promote my ability to return to endurance bicycling.

What do you like about being a member at SWAT?
 Love the Les Mills classes, working out with friends, training with Amanda Kurtz.  The knowledge of the instructors and personal trainers makes it a wonderful experience that takes my fitness to a higher level.  
Besides, it is a place I can yell, whoot it up without getting arrested or medicated (or at least I haven't yet). 

What is your favorite class at SWAT?  Why?
Ooh tough question... Favorites are RPM, Combat, Zumba, BodyFlow and Pilates  

Do you have a person who is your healthy living/fitness inspiration?  Who and why?
Another difficult question... Morgan Larson was the first person at SWAT to have a huge impact on my fitness.  Amanda Kurtz and Kris Anthonsen have taken me to a new level and of course the friendships with Julia, Orlando and Cynthia is a value beyond words. 

Anything else you’d like to say?
Waa Waa Waa Yeaaah
Life at SWAT is fun
