January POM: Rachel Matattal
Congratulations to Rachel for being January's Prototype of the Month! Below, she shares his experience with Prototype, what drives her, and the goals that keep her motivated.
1.) Share your experience at Prototype
I joined prototype after 9 years of at-home-workouts (mom life) My husband Tim had nothing but amazing things to say about the gym and most importantly the community, so in November of 2023, I decided to give it a try. From day one, I have only known smiles, laughter, and endless encouragement from each and every member I’ve met and had the pleasure of working out with. I now realize how important the class structure and environment, coaching, community, and commitment is!
2.) What is your favorite part about being at Prototype?
My favorite part of being at Prototype is the friendly and welcoming environment. There is a fair amount of accountability and just the right amount of pressure to push myself hard, and reach goals I could not achieve on my own without my partners and coaches who continually believe in me.
3.) What are your hobbies and activities?
I love to play outside and stay active with my two daughters and two black labs. I love to cook, especially for friends and family! Spending time in the White Mountains is our favorite.
4.) How has Prototype helped you or solved a problem for you?
Prototype has helped renew my courage and belief in myself. After becoming a mother, I not only lost a lot of my strength and endurance, but also my self esteem and self worth. Setting strength goals, building up my endurance to face challenges, and feeling stronger overall has impacted my physical, mental, and emotional health.
5.) What are you continuing fitness goals to this point?
My fitness goals are to be able to run farther distances, jump higher, and continue stacking on that weight on my power lifts! Thanks to Jon and our PT sessions, I continue to hit strength PR’s weekly which has me feeling so strong and proud.
6.) Favorite Quote
“I can do hard things!”
