Where are you from?

Charlotte, NC

When did you join Hustle One Fitness?

March/April 2021

How did you find out about Hustle One Fitness?

From my friend, Hank.

What do you do when you are not at Hustle One Fitness? Favorite thing to do outside of the gym?

I am a lawyer who practices product liability mass tort litigation nationwide. That’s a fancy way of saying I help people who have been hurt by either drugs or medical devices. When I’m not working or at Hustle One, I like to hang out of my husband and friends, try new restaurants and bars, watch movies, read and walk my dog, Stark.

When/How did you realize Hustle One Fitness was the right fit for you?

Pretty early on! I saw how welcoming staff and other members were, and how accepting they were of where you are in your fitness journey. The environment was another factor. At other gyms in Charleston, I felt there’s a pressure to perform at a certain level and to fit the aesthetic of the gym. That is not the case at Hustle One. It’s relaxed, and I don’t feel the pressure to fit into a certain “fitness mold”!

What is your favorite cheat meal?

To be honest, I don’t think I have a “cheat meal” per se. I try to eat healthy, but don’t deny myself the food (or drinks) that I want. But, I guess pizza or ice cream would be my answer.

What is your favorite movement?

Ironically, power cleans and hang power cleans. Those are movements I never would have attempted prior to joining the gym, but they are by far the most challenging (next to snatches and anything overhead), and I’m excited that I can do them now!

What is something about you that Hustle One members do not know yet?

I can lick my elbows.

What advice would you give to someone just getting started at Hustle One Fitness?

Lean in to the experience, celebrate showing up and challenge yourself each day to do something that makes you just a little bit (or a lot) uncomfortable. And don’t forget to have fun!
