Beth and I are in our 11th month of training at UFC Gym and are still going strong. One year ago I would have NEVER DREAMED of working out during the holidays. I’d be too busy eating yummy food and planning my new year’s resolution to get in shape the next year. I did this for many years and am so thankful to report that I stuck with it during 2016 and feel better and younger than I have in years! Thanks to these three people: Eric (the owner of UFC Gym), Beth (the best workout partner ever) and Jose (our fabulous trainer)!
Imagine my dismay when Jose announced after Thanksgiving that he was moving to Charleston. Say what!? Shocked. Saddened. Scared that I would lose my motivation to work out. Who would be there to tell us “half way there” and call us “pretty little lifters”? In walked Denise. Problem solved. We miss Jose 
tremendously but we are enjoying Denise’s style. She “gets” our girl problems. Such as why we like certain type weights because they are better for feminine hands. She even had us boxing this morning. Yes. Boxing….crazy…fun…hilarious. Never in a million years would I have dreamed I’d own boxing gloves. Are you thinking about getting in shape in 2017? I highly recommend it….the time is now! Meanwhile what do you think about the tombstone I had etched onto a YETI tumbler for Jose’s Christmas gift? Denise is afraid to utter those words to us….after-all we know how to box now!
