Celebrate Our Strong FitCo Women

International Women’s Day was March 8^th, but we feel that one day isn’t enough to celebrate the amazing, and strong women in our life. This month, we reached out to some of the exceptional women in our industry to find out what empowers them.

The Girls Who Are Taking Over The World

‍

We are excited to feature one of our outstanding members @analay.sanchez. She is a Houston-based adventurer who loves to travel. She enjoys giving the FitCo stair climber a run for its money with each step. Learn more from this fitness leader and follow her on social to stay inspired all month long.

How does working out empower you?

• Working out first thing in the morning empowers me to take over the day. Starting my day with a great workout gives me the energy physically and mentally to overcome anything in my busy, sometimes stressful day.

Who or what motivates you?

• My biggest motivation, aside from “looking good” is to be healthy. My family is a huge motivation, I want to be healthy, be strong, be there for them, now and many many years to come.

What's your Personal Mantra?

• “You most likely will regret not going, not working out… but you will never regret doing it!”

What is your advice to empower other women?

• If you can’t find it in you to do it for yourself, do it for those that you love, and loves you deeply. Think about how much you want to be healthy and strong for them.

Another spotlight for this month is the one and only @bettie.fit is it. A member of the North Carolina FitCo community since 2018, this independent and determined woman derives happiness from all the little things—like oatmeal. Get motivated this month and learn from this certified personal trainer who eats deadlifts for breakfast.

How does working out empower you?

• Working out empowers me to not only be comfortable in my own body but also embrace my strength and health both physically and mentally. Exercise has empowered me to be happy and help others be happy as well.

Who or what motivates you?

• My brother as well as the people I’ve met at Fitness Connection motivate me every time I walk into the gym. The community has been so supportive and helpful!

What's your Personal Mantra?

• “I am more powerful than my pain, my conviction is unwavering.”

What is your advice to empower other women?

• To my fellow women in the gym- Be kind to the other women in the gym. We are all there to better ourselves and helping others do the same thing is so rewarding. When another woman asks you something or compliments you, be respectful! Let’s build an empowering community for women in the gym :)

How does working out empower you?

• Working out teaches you that you are capable of anything, it's simply a matter of how consistently you remain dedicated to your goal. There is nothing more empowering than witnessing your hard work transform your body and quality of life.

Other than your body, how does working out strengthen you?

• Working out gives me a sense of peace. It provides me a moment of calm, of silence; a time when all of my worries and concerns are void.

What's your Personal Mantra?

• I am whole.

What is your advice to empower other women?

• Be unapologetically yourself.
