Member of the Month – June 2017
Name: Sadie Stanley / Sierra Doerfler
What are your fitness goals for 2017?
Sadie – I want to drop a few more pounds and then tone my muscle. I want to lift more and run faster at long distances.
Sierra – My fitness goals for 2017 would have to be to keep falling in love with taking care of my body. Also, to continue becoming mentally and physically healthy!
What is your weekly workout routine?
Sadie – Run 3+ miles at least 5x a week – Abs everyday – various arm/leg workouts each 1x weekly – walk 4+ miles on weekds
Sierra – I do 6 days a week of 30-60min of cardio – 3 days I will throw in some kind of weight training/HIIT
What keeps you motivated?
Sadie – The way I feel after completing a workout. Its so rewarding and refreshing and I just feel so much better physically/mentally/emotionally. Also, just the facts that I have the ability to workout, an opportunity some don’t get and I do every single day, so that is pretty cool! I also remember that I will never regret working out but I will always regret not working out.
Sierra – To remember how far you’ve come, not just how far you have to go. You may not be where you want to be, but neither are you where you used to be.
Do you have a success story to share?
Sadie – I trained myself to run long distances. I was always a sprinter and never ran more than one mile at the time until exactly a year ago. My boyfriend got me started and since then I’ve been hooked and run almost every single day! I accidently lost 20lbs by doing this!
Sierra – I have lost over 30lbs at The Center. The Center is such a fun environment and I’m always excited to get off at HaysMed to go over to The Center and workout!
