How long have you been a HF member?
I joined in November 2016. Seriously one of the best decisions I have made for my well-being.
Help us get to know you – tell us a little about yourself!
I have lived in Columbus for 30 years. I grew up, in Cleveland, from a family where intellect was more valued then working out. My brother is the only person who has worked forEVER in my immediate family – it wasn’t a thing. I have made my home, in Clintonville, with my husband, Jay, for 16 years along with our super chilled out greyhound, Sara. My life is totally rich. I have awesome friends, meaningful work, and volunteer projects, as well as, the opportunity to travel exploring interesting places.
Why did you join The Human Form?
I work in elder and end of life care. My deepest desire is: being the strongest and most stable 80-year-old on the planet. Folks who worked out all their life, in my place of business, enjoy a very good quality of life in mind, body, and spirit.
What has changed since you started with us?
A lot! I started out simply wanting to do the very basics of working out, and THEN results starting happening to my body, like I have muscles in my core; my arms are no longer flapping in the wind and I’m stable as well as strong. Now, it’s all about challenging myself, in big and little ways because it is FUN.
Why should others join the party?
HFis for people who never enjoyed working out like me. This is place where you will get individual instruction, encouragement, and results, if you are willing to put in the time and be patient.
What is the single most valuable things you have gained by being a member of The Human Form community?
Working out is fun! Working out in a supportive community is valuable because it encourages me to show up. As Jeff says, “Lori, you are stronger then you think.” This little mantra has trickled into all areas of my life, which is invaluable.
