Alloy Personal Training Cedar Hills Crossing

🚨 MEMBER SPOTLIGHT 🚨

Katrina shares about her experience at Alloy and how strength training helps her keep doing the activities she loves!

“Once upon a time, I was a super fit gym rat.
Then covid and motherhood and the cumulative effects of years of untreated injuries happened.

About 2 years ago I started hiking and backpacking, and most recently climbing and generally escalating levels of adventuring. I quickly realized how much strength and endurance I had lost, and struggled to keep up with my friends who are much stronger and faster hikers than me. On top of that, my back and shoulder had started hurting enough that it was becoming limiting. I knew I needed to get strong again.

At the end of last year I started PT so that I could be functional enough to work out again and then signed up for Alloy. Just a few months ago I was getting lightheaded and winded just doing lunges. Frustrating to say the least. Since then, I’ve gained measurable muscle and strength and am feeling stronger on the trail. (A pistol squat likely saved my life on my last trip!) While I’m still working on rehabbing my injuries, I can finally pick up my heavy pack without it being a whole ordeal, get further up the mountain before I have to take a break, and generally feel closer to my former “bad-ass mama” self. I have new motivating goals to go along with my new-again quads and am striving for snow-covered summits!

Every time I have to climb up something tall with a 45 lb backpack, I whisper to myself, “This is why I use the big box!”

Thank you, Katrina, for sharing and always being up to go the extra mile, literally!

Thank you Sebastien Durandeu and Jumbo’s Pickleball Beaverton for hosting us on Saturday! Our member appreciation event was a great (and sweaty) success. It was so fun learning and moving together outside of the gym!

And, of course, thank you to all our members who showed up and played! We hope y’all had fun!!!

🚨Client Spotlight🚨

Francine Raften (our bar Bingo and Trivia QUEEN) is putting in work both in and outside the gym!!! Last week Francine set a record at her music bingo night! Here’s what she had to say about the evening:

I am honored you want to say a few words about the music bingo extravaganza! I do music bingo at two locations every week. Thursday nights at 6:30 at BearKat Brewery in Sherwood. Saturday nights at 6:00 at Three Mermaids Public House in Lake Oswego. Both shows are blowing up with attendance, but the record-breaking show happened at BearKat last Thursday where a record 108 people packed into the venue! I ran out of bingo cards and I come with 100 each time. Every seat was taken so people were literally using their camp chairs to play the game! Last Call Trivia  (the company I work for) has had to accommodate my growing attendance by creating a special file to print more bingo cards just for my game. I am the first host in the company to achieve this, and the company is nationwide. With my background in radio, television and stand up comedy I really try to make these games fun and entertaining. I do research on all of the music and artists that are featured on the playlists and share fun facts and tidbits throughout the game. And starting July 15, I will be doing Family Feud at BearKat, 6:30 game. It is an hilarious game very similar to the TV show. I’ll be doing a custom playlist for every game as well.”
