July Member of the Month

Congratulations to July Member of the Month, Darcy!

Coach Denise says, "Darcy is a bright light in each class she attends. If you choose a spot next to her, I guarantee you will smile or giggle several times per class. But don’t let her engaging wit fool you, she works hard and is ready and willing to challenge herself. She comes prepared and concentrates on progressing. I love having you in class Darcy- keep it up!"

What separates your experience at Dragonfly from other things you've tried in the past? When I first came to DF I was looking for a consistent workout that I could commit to. Also, I had been working from my home office for several years and was looking for opportunities to interact with real humans! Happily, DF delivered on both! And, it delivered so much more - the community is what truly sets it apart—there’s a strong sense of camaraderie, and the friendships I’ve built there are just as meaningful as the physical progress I’ve made. I feel supported and encouraged by the coaches and other members.

What motivates you to be consistent with your training? I genuinely enjoy the workouts and how good I feel—physically, mentally, and emotionally! Strength training was new to me and the sense of progress has been incredibly motivating. I look forward to seeing the other women and coaches each week. I always feel supported, challenged and encouraged. It’s become an important part of my lifestyle and something I look forward to.

What is something that used to be intimidating at the gym but now you love it and/or how might you encourage others that might be nervous about strength training?

When I first started, weights were pretty intimidating to me. I have found that kettlebells are among my favorite things at the gym. I feel so strong! And, flipping a tire? Not saying this is a favorite – but pretty awesome that I can do it. Bonus - the extracurricular events! I powered through Rowvember and a kettlebell swing challenge and was really proud of myself! I went to a silks class and recently tried rock climbing! Not sure I would have explored this without my DF ladies!

Congrats Darcy! We love that you are doing things that make you feel strong and confident! Thank you for being here!

Each month Dragonfly coaches nominate members who are standing out, overcoming obstacles, and giving it their all. It’s always a hard choice to decide upon one!
