West Bend, Wi – A1 Health and Fitness of West Bend, Wi, has selected Kilah Engelke as the November Member of the Month.
Kilah (and Marliegh) have become an amazing part of A1 Health & Fitness. Kilah’s dedication and ability to help others is heartwarming.
Engelke’s testimonial about the changes she’s experienced this past year at A1 Health and Fitness is inspiring.
It’s been about a year and a half I’ve been a member at A1 Health & Fitness. My experience has been nothing short of life changing. I joined as a six-week challenger.
I remember coming in to be assessed by Tammy and being overwhelmed and terrified.
There was a class going on and all the people in class were beasts and they were working hard and sweating, and the music was loud…the vibes were intense. I was out of shape, out of my comfort zone, feeling old, and what they call an advanced maternal-aged mom who knew how far I had to go.
I’m a concrete finisher by trade, I love to snowboard and play volleyball and my whole life leading up to becoming a mom, I was in really good shape and never had any issues feeling weak and old.
Luckily, everyone at the gym was so cool.
I was inspired (and continue to be) by all the passionate, hardworking, talented and STRONG people here and I feel so lucky to have been able to work towards being more confident, comfortable, and stronger alongside all these other amazing people.
It’s no longer overwhelming – it’s a part of the routine.
It is fun to be able to work on movements and try to build up weights I can lift or reps I can do instead of feeling like I have so far to go.
I needed the accountability this community provides, and I truly enjoy watching the veterans continue to PR and get stronger just as much I enjoy getting to know new members and hearing about their goals and being around to see them make progress. I continue to be inspired by them too.
A big part of being at the gym for me is setting an example of what it means to be a strong Momma to my little girl especially…and this gym has been super accommodating and I’m thankful to be able to share this part of my life with her – and to be able to share all of my gym buddies that are also so STRONG with her too.
Thanks for this honor, A1!
