Meet Ginger, an amazing example of what dedication and a supportive community can achieve! Ginger, like many of us, found herself wanting to feel better. She saw a Rail Stop Fitness Facebook post calling out to women over 40 who were ready to take charge of their health, and Ginger knew it was a sign.
While Ginger had worked out in the past, consistency was a challenge, pointing out, “I found myself doing less and less, and when I did work out, I didn’t push myself.” Ginger would do her best to stay active by off-roading and hiking on the weekends, however, her desk job meant a lot of sitting during the week, and she knew she needed a change.
Since joining Rail Stop Fitness, Ginger has seen a fantastic transformation in her health. Her stamina has soared, and she’s adopted a more mindful approach to eating. This newfound focus on overall wellness is a major win! Additionally, Ginger recently achieved a personal goal she’d been chasing for 2 years – touching her toes with her legs straight!
Strength and performance are also on the rise for Ginger. While she doesn’t have any specific strength goals, Ginger is regularly on our monthly Committed Club list. Her consistent attendance has led to her being even more active, noting, “I just know that I feel better and stronger.” Ginger credits the supportive coaches as playing a big role in her success. “They prioritize proper form and tailor workouts to individual needs, ensuring progress without injury.”
Ginger doesn’t see herself as a competitive person, but completing a full workout within the allotted time is a personal victory! Ginger points to the Rail Stop Fitness community as also contributing to her successes. “The other athletes are very encouraging and welcoming,” finding inspiration from everyone around her. She highlights Camille and Missy as her biggest cheerleaders.
If you’re considering joining a gym but feeling hesitant, Ginger encourages, “come observe a class and see how much the coaches care, how the workouts are tailored to the athlete, and how even when everyone is huffing and puffing, there is comradery. It may be hard, new, or intimidating, but it is worth it!” Congratulations and thank you to Ginger for being our current Spotlight Athlete and sharing your fitness journey!
