August POM:  Shreeja Pillai

Shreeja has shown incredible progress during her time at PTS and we are so lucky to have her as part of our community! Here, she shares her journey with Prototype. Thank you for being you — you truly deserve to be our August POM! 

1.) Share your experience at Prototype.
Joining Prototype was one of the best decisions I have made in my fitness journey. My first class was a blur of burpees and sweat, I could hardly keep up. A big shout out to all the coaches who are top tier, the workouts are constantly varied but always effective.I have hit the strength goals I never thought possible.


2.) What is your favorite part about being at Prototype? 
Prototype’s tight knit community is unique. It has taught me that showing up, even on tough days, builds more than just muscle- it builds grit and community.


3.) What are your hobbies and activities? 
I love dancing - it is one of my happy spaces. I am a homebody- love to spend time at home with family and friends.


4.) How has Prototype helped you or solved a problem for you? 
I was inconsistent with fitness and struggled to stay motivated. I needed a structured way to build resilience. The Prototype community has helped me push through self doubt.


5.) What are you continuing fitness goals to this point? 
My goal is to keep pushing my limits. I am not just chasing goals, I am excited to see how far I can go and just keep hitting the PR’s on the way ๐Ÿ˜€


6.) Favorite Quote - “There is no growth in comfort- You don't have to be extreme just consistent.”
