Share your experience at Prototype

I’ve been a member for about 7 years and I can definitely affirm that It has changed my life. At first It was just a new concept of fitness for me and a group of friends and we were there just for fun. As the years went by I had ups and downs and I found out that Prototype was my safe place, still is but the difference is now I can enjoy myself, learn a lot and communicate with people from different perspective and lifestyles, a combination where at the end we’re all the same and feels so good to belong to a great environment where I can always be myself.

         

What is your favorite part about being at Prototype?

It’s a great community where people connect in different ways and that is hard to see nowadays. The vibe in the gym is unique and contagious .

 

What are your hobbies and activities?

I love to travel, watch different sunsets, enjoy my family, and hang out with friends . I’m a big music fan and love to attend concerts. I’m also a big fan of podcasts.

 

How has Prototype helped you or solved a problem for you?

I always include Prototype as part of my therapy. It’s been a life changer to achieve my goals as an individual . It gives me strength to keep moving and create a routine to a better lifestyle .

 

What are you continuing fitness goals to this point?

I wanted to get stronger but also learn to respect my limits, listen to my body but always moving forward .

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.)

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.)
