"When you started, what were you hoping to gain from becoming a member?
For me, I was hoping to get back on track and find an outlet to focus on myself for a change. Being a care-taker can be hard on your mind and your body. It was the perfect way to put some sweat equity back into my life and give myself an hour in the day to focus on myself for a change.
What does being a RockBoxer mean to you?
Being a RockBoxer means strength and accountability. If I went out of town and didn’t let the team know– they were texting me to see where I was. That’s a great accountability partner to have. Personally, it was a step back into normalcy. I had let my life get off-track due to my husband’s illness and it was the perfect way to start focusing on myself again.
How has RockBox changed your life?
RockBox has been more than just hitting the bags– they’ve taught me about nutrition as well. I learned about my body type and what foods I should be eating to give myself fuel. It’s also an insane stress-reliever. The mix up between hitting the bags and functional workouts each day really helped me focus on strength and endurance by mixing cardio and weights."
