Finding the Athlete in Me Again

These pictures are a year apart, and while I can see the physical changes, what I’ve gained over the past year goes so much deeper than that.

FarmBox is so much more than an all-women’s gym. The mix of strength training, HIIT, endurance, and HYROX-style workouts keeps things challenging, and Steph and Jill are always finding new ways to push us while making it fun.

For me, FarmBox has helped me find the athlete in myself again. I went from simply wanting to stay active to challenging myself with HYROX competitions, Spartan races, and half marathons. Things I never imagined I’d be doing again at 46!

Steph and Jill push us to be stronger, but they also remind us that wellness goes beyond what happens during a workout. Nutrition, consistency, accountability, and showing up even on the days you don’t feel like it are all part of the journey. I’ve learned that the strength you build in the gym carries over into everyday life.

What I love most, though, is the community. We celebrate birthdays, milestones, and accomplishments with special workouts. We cheer each other on, hold each other accountable, and genuinely want to see everyone succeed. It doesn’t matter where you are in your fitness journey. Everyone has a place here.

And of course, being able to experience all of this at my sister’s gym makes it even more special. I’m proud of what Steph has built and grateful to be part of it.
