Thoughts on HIIt, Power lifting, TRX, Yoga, bodybuilding, other:
Lifting has become a passion. Having a bad day? I lift. Kangoo was what drew me to The Babe Cave, but I’ve fallen in love with strength classes. Lifting weights instantly changes my mood. I always feel incredible! Because of the tendonitis in my right knee, I tend to gravitate to the Pump and Pyramid classes!
LIFTING WEIGHTS INSTANTLY CHANGES MY MOOD. I ALWAYS FEEL INCREDIBLE!

What do your parents mean to you? What did they teach you?
My parents mean the world to me. They adopted me when I was 16 years old. They took a chance on a teenager who just wanted a good life. They have taught me that everyone deserves a chance and kindness has no limits.
What separates Status from other fitness magazines?
Has such a good reputation among the fitness community. In all honesty, before I started at the Babe Cave, I had never read any fitness magazines. I felt like most of the people featured were not like me. But when Becky told us about the magazine, I realized most of the people featured weren’t that far off from the people I was now surrounded by! So honestly, I’ve never read another fitness mag!
What would it mean to you to become the next Status Fitness Cover-model?
I’m not sure what that would mean to me. I feel like I’m better suited being featured next to all the other babes at the Cave!

Transformation story:
I had always been thin and generally fit growing up. After I had kids, I struggled to stay fit and lose the weight I had gained. I started at a gym and worked out, I began to run. But I never incorporated nutrition in my “fitness” journey. I was frustrated that the weight didn’t come off. In late 2016 we started a massive reno to our home. Not having a kitchen for 8 weeks sent me to every restaurant in Alliston. I walked into the Babe Cave in March of 2017 weighing 150lbs and 5’2. My first class was a Bootcamp class. I felt like I was going to die. I continued for the next two days. By day three, I could not walk. I doubted this whole idea of joining. The following Monday I went back and attended cases every morning. Eventually, I started going to night classes also. Eventually, I noticed a transformation in my arms, then my waist and legs. Having lost 35lbs and building muscles I didn’t know I had given me so much confidence!
HAVING LOST 35LBS AND BUILDING MUSCLES I DIDN’T KNOW I HAD GAVE ME SO MUCH CONDIFENCE!
