🚨 MEMBER SPOTLIGHT 🚨
Mandy has been a foundational part of our Cedar Hills community alongside reaching some major goals!!!
Here is a deeper look into her journey:
“A couple of years ago, I was living in a body that felt like a prison. I had spent years putting my health on the back burner, I was on several medications and I was actively avoiding things like travel, events and meet-ups…I’d reached a point where I knew I was cutting myself short and I hated it. I wanted freedom to do anything I wanted — shop anywhere, go anywhere, get anything, do anything.
In 2024, I had bariatric surgery and started weight loss medication. Those tools helped me kickstart the journey. And to date, I’ve lost more than 230 pounds.
But a year into the journey a new goal emerged. I wanted to be strong and capable. At 6’1”, I’ve always been larger and I associated getting healthier with taking up less space.
Training at Alloy has completely changed that perspective.
Now I care a lot less about making myself smaller and a lot more about seeing what my body can actually do. …And apparently, it can do quite a lot!
After 9 months with Alloy my most recent InBody scan put me at 24% body fat with 196 pounds of lean mass and an InBody score over 100. Those numbers meant much more to me than simply weight. I have — and continue to build — a strong, capable body.
While bariatric surgery was a tool I used once to build a foundation and weight loss medication is a tool I use weekly, building my physical infrastructure with Alloy is my favorite tool that I use 3x a week. My time at Alloy plus my 10,000 steps a day, 7 days a week, has fueled my soul, introduced me to some amazing people that I’m happy to call friends, and most importantly has made me the strongest and healthiest version of myself I’ve ever known.
Things that would have felt completely impossible in my old body have slowly become things I just…do. Alloy has become a huge part of why.
I’m still a work in progress. I still have goals. But for the first time in my life, my goal is to live the most, not take up less.”
THANK YOU Mandy for trusting Alloy to be part of your journey!
