Inspired by seeing someone else making time for fitness in their busy life, Rachel decided to take the first step and reach out to the gym. "I was trying to make space in my life for working out and getting stronger," she shares. "I'd felt stuck and had neglected my fitness since having kids, and it was always in the back of my mind to start making it a priority."

At 47, Amy faced a challenge many of our members can relate to - the intimidating prospect of joining a gym. "My biggest goal in joining T&S was to overcome my fear of joining a gym," she shares.
