A prototype of the month certificate for kim watson

1.) Share your experience at Prototype

I joined Prototype in the summer of 2023 after years of working out (and working in) fitness studios in Boston. When the pandemic hit, I moved to the burbs and focused on training at home. Once I got out of the house and joined Prototype I was blown away by the coaches; they are knowledgeable, they care about their clients, and they’re deeply invested in your personal goals. 

Soon after I joined I discovered that I was pregnant with my second child and became even more impressed with the coaches. They have an ability to pivot and make accommodations that are safe, while still allowing me to challenge myself and have the full class experience.

2.) What is your favorite part about being at Prototype?

I love the community. The Prototype members are some of the strongest, most welcoming, hilarious people that I’ve ever met. They’ve welcomed me with open arms and have made Prototype feel like a second home.

3.) What are your hobbies and activities?

Reading, writing, and playing with my 2 year old. He has the best sense of humor and is always up for anything—except nap time.

4.) How has Prototype helped you or solved a problem for you?

The coaches at Prototype have taught me so much about the mechanics of lifting heavy weights, proper form, breathing technique, and then some. Before Prototype I was always curious about lifting heavier, and they’ve taught me safe and effective ways to do just that.

5.) What are you continuing fitness goals to this point?

I want to set a strong example for my kids, and I want to be around and able to play with their kids someday.

6.) Favorite Quote 

“Nothing ventured, nothing gained.”

December Prototype of the Month: Devon LaMachia

By Mike Collette • December 2, 2025
Devon is a fantastic part of our community — always kind, coachable, easy-going, and consistently putting in the work. She shows up, supports others, and truly represents what PTS is all about. Prototype of the Month is well deserved! Below, she answers a few questions about her time at PTS. 1.) Share your experience at Prototype After what felt like an entire year of sitting during grad school, I knew I wanted to be more active. I came back to Prototype, and it was the best decision. I’ve made so many new friends here who make every class fun (no matter how tough the workout is) but my favorite moment has to be meeting my boyfriend Ed! 2.) What is your favorite part about being at Prototype? I used to do at-home workouts and always felt like something was missing. When I came to Prototype, it felt like I finally found that missing piece, the community! It truly makes a huge impact. Everyone here genuinely wants the best for you. 3.) What are your hobbies and activities? If I’m outside, I love playing pickleball, skiing, and going for walks. And if I'm inside I enjoy crocheting, reading, or baking! 4.) How has Prototype helped you or solved a problem for you? Prototype has shown me that if you put your mind to something, you can truly do hard things. I also know I will always feel better after going to the gym. Sometimes the hardest part is just getting in the car, but I never regret it once I’m there. 5.) What are you continuing fitness goals to this point? To get some form of movement everyday and to one day get a pull up. 6.)

November Prototype of the Month: Tim Trainor

By Mike Collette • November 2, 2025
Tim has been an incredible part of our community — always positive, funny, generous, and willing to help. His energy makes everyone around him better. Prototype of the Month is well deserved! Below he answers some questions about his time at PTS. 1.) Share your experience at Prototype This actually isn’t my first stint at Prototype - I’ve been around and worked out here a few times in my heyday. My very first legitimate class though, as a member, was 5am earlier this year and I was welcomed first by Nicole. You can all imagine how that interaction went… and I came back! Prototype is welcoming, fun, clean, and I’ve made amazing friends along the way. It is one of the best hours of my day. 2.) What is your favorite part about being at Prototype? Prototype is not just another workout but a mental reset for me, it fills my cup. 3.) What are your hobbies and activities? Activities mostly involve time with my family outside whenever we can, trips to Ptown and traveling all over for work. I have a hard time sitting still and typically keep a busy schedule. Mix in photography and interior design opportunities with fitness and family and I’d say that's my perfect mix. 4.) How has Prototype helped you or solved a problem for you? I work remotely so in person face to face conversation is something I’ve found I need for my mental health. I’m also super competitive so I tend to push a little harder when I workout with others. 5.) What are you continuing fitness goals to this point? I want to be a parent who can show up for their kids in every aspect of life, which also means physically. Staying fit is important to be able to keep up with them as we collectively get older. I am training for a few Hyrox races coming up but mostly just trying to maintain my current level of fitness for as long as possible. 6.)
