What made you decide to try Platform Strength Training in the first place?

A Facebook friend shared the event for the open house and I saw it as my sign to make a change.   I went, met Cate, took a Tabata class, and never looked back.

What made you decide to try the Yoga Garage?

After meeting Carly and Kait at the open house I knew it was the place for me. Their skills and the beauty of the room make it an amazing experience.

What is your favorite part about Empowered Living Company?

The community.  It’s awesome to be around such a diverse group of positive and motivated individuals. I am very grateful for all their smiling faces when I walk in the door.

What’s your favorite movement or lift?

I love the heavy lifting. I would say it’s a tie between the deadlift and back squat.

What’s your favorite pose or yoga posture?

Headstand

What’s one milestone you’re most proud of so far?

Being able to back squat more than my body weight brought me to tears.  I never thought I could be this strong and it’s a very powerful feeling to have!

What are some unexpected benefits you’ve experienced since starting?

The stronger my body gets; my mind gets even stronger.  Stress doesn’t affect me as much and everyday activities are so much easier.

What is your next goal you plan to crush?

200lb deadlift – only 15 more pounds to go!

What advice would you give someone walking through the Empowered Living Company door for their first time?

Have no fear! You’ve taken the hardest step and there’s plenty of motivation to go around.  Just leave your stresses at the door, do your best, and have fun!
