“The fitness industry is a community that supports one another out by working together to help each other grow. I learned this when I met Emily in the early months of opening my gym, CoreStrong. From the moment I met her and learned about her mission, we instantly bonded. Her passion for encouraging people to get involved and learn about all this city has to offer is contagious. I couldn’t wait to work with her. She asked if I would be involved in her first Fit Day and I didn’t hesitate to say yes. The energy was amazing. Every detail was taken care of - from transportation, healthy food throughout the day, an awesome variety of workouts and happy hour at the gym. Every participant was ecstatic with the day. This is why every time she asks me to be involved in her events I say YES! I had new clients walk through the door and she has repeat customers for each event. Since the Fit Days, Emily and I have collaborated on several events giving the gift of fitness to young women, including our annual Mother/Daughter Valentine’s Day workout. What I love about working with Emily is that she is not only compassionate and empathetic, but she is also determined to make a change in peoples’ lives and build up our growing fitness community. It’s been such an honor to work with her and I am even luckier to call her my friend.”
