"Carlos has been an amazing addition to our community. He has dived in and has kept going since August. He has not only motivated himself but has inspired his children, nieces and I know his pregnant wife can not wait to get started too. He comes in ready to work. His movement has gotten so much better since he started his journey with us, it's like night and day. He is coachable and welcomes every opportunity to be challenged and get better. You can always count on him to be a welcoming and friendly face for others in the room. You can always expect him to give his all as well. Congrats Carlos! Super proud of you and can not wait to see where you will be in a year! Keep up the incredible work. Love having you as a member!" Coach Julia
What do you enjoy most about being a member of The CircHIIT?
The best part of being a member of The CircHIIT is the community. Being able to work out with a great set of coaches and members who have similar goals in mind is incredible. Each person encourages you every time. It is a great feeling being part of that circle. I also love that I can be a role model for my kids.
How/when did you get involved with The CircHIIT?
I first got involved in August of 2024, driving by the gym on a daily basis. Funny story is that I had entered the gym back in March of 2024 and did not find the motivation. I had been to gyms before but never as intensely as I had seen that day when I walked in. So I think I was afraid in all honesty. BUT, in August I faced my fear and jumped in head first.
How did you feel after your first workout at The CircHIIT?
To Be honest, I was in agony right after my first workout, but inside it was a good agony as it reminded me that I needed that wake up call. My health was a priority and I knew then it was the best way. I had my first workout on a Tuesday… I did not know then that those are the hardest workouts of the week… I now have come to enjoy Tuesdays
What do you enjoy most about The CircHIIT?

They are part of the community and I want them to do their best and this motivates me to do my best as they see how much I enjoy it.

Do you have any advice for new members?
If there is any advice I would offer, it would be, don't be afraid, don't get discouraged. Look to the future and focus on the betterment of your health. Be consistent even if it's at your own pace. In time it gets easier and then it is you who makes it harder as you learn your limits and push yourself past those limits.
