My journey with Burn Boot Camp started nearly six years ago. Since then, I’ve navigated the ups and downs of life, motherhood, setbacks, and my own motivation.
I’m a mom of five—10-year-old triplets, an eight-year-old, and a three-year-old. I’ve worked out through pregnancy, nursing, postpartum depression, and even an ACL tear while skiing in January 2025. I’ve had seasons when I couldn’t wait to work out and seasons when simply walking through the doors felt like the hardest part.
Through it all, the owners, trainers, and community at Burn Boot Camp Matthews have continued to encourage me, cheer me on, and welcome me back.
Some of the greatest gifts have been the friendships I’ve made here. We celebrate PRs and accomplishments, but our friendships go far beyond the gym. We watch each other’s children grow, share life’s joys and challenges, and cheer each other on through every season.
I still have days when I tell myself, “I’m not going.” Just yesterday was one of them. But I went—and every time I show up, I’m reminded how much those 45 minutes mean to me.
When I started, exercise was mostly about physical goals. Today, my mental well-being is one of my biggest reasons for coming. Those 45 minutes give me space to focus on myself, clear my mind, and return to my family feeling stronger.
And I am stronger than I ever imagined I could be at this stage of life. One of the greatest rewards is seeing what that means to my children. My son brags to his friends about how strong his mom is, and when my kids are picking teams, they want me on theirs.
They’re watching me learn that commitment means showing up even when motivation fades—and that setbacks don’t have to be the end of the story.
Thank you, Burn Boot Camp Matthews, for believing in me, supporting me through the setbacks, and giving me a community that celebrates my progress and always welcomes me back.
Nearly six years in, I’m still learning, still growing, and still showing up—for myself, for the friendships that sustain me, and for the example I want to set for my children.
Come join us at Burn Boot Camp Matthews. Show up for yourself. You won’t regret it. 💙
