How did you get involved with AWBC?

I found the gym right before COVID came and threw a wrench in that, but luckily a couple of years later I found my way back again. I wanted to get in the gym game and was drawn in by the energy and the community of women.

How has AWBC changed your life?

I never saw myself as an athlete, even though I was an active kid. Getting to find not only a gym but a sport as well (and a physical one at that) has been such a great way to learn about myself! Not only has boxing become a huge part of my life, but the strength program at the gym has given me motivation to pursue lifting in my own time, which has been another awesome journey for me.
