Danielle is fairly new to Leash Your Fitness but has already made a huge impression on us and it all started with a foster dog! She is completely dedicated to her lifestyle changes and it shows! She has already lost 18.5 pounds in 7 weeks from following our On Line fitness group and attending our classes.
Danielle started coming to classes while fostering Franco, a Furry Foster rescue dog. We wanted to hear from her about how Leash Your Fitness has helped her, even after Franco was adopted:
Danielle and Franco in Dog Yoga class
Naomi: What inspired you to start being active with your foster dog, Franco?
Danielle: I really wanted to make him a “perfect” dog all around so that he could get adopted into a great family. The classes were perfect for socializing him, teaching him obedience, and getting him to be active. Also, when we first got him I was struggling with finding time for him and time for myself to exercise, and Leash Your Fitness classes quickly solved that problem!
Naomi: What do you like most about the classes and events at Leash Your Fitness?
Danielle: I love the community with Leash Your Fitness. Everyone is so welcoming from the start and always encouraging each other to reach new goals. I also appreciate the variety of classes that are available and that they’re 100% suitable for any skill level. And of course, they’re always tons of fun 🙂
Naomi: What has been your key to success in your overall lifestyle change? What has been your biggest challenge?
Danielle: I think the most important factor for me has been all the support that I’ve had. The Fitness Challenge is a very supportive environment, but it also holds you accountable for keeping up with your goals. I’ve been lucky and also have very supportive coworkers, roommates, and friends. I think my biggest challenge has been to be patient and to stay proud of what I’ve accomplished so far. I always have to keep reminding myself that it’s a long-term change and that I shouldn’t get discouraged if I haven’t met a goal as quickly as I might have liked.
Danielle lost 18.5 pounds in 7 weeks!
Naomi: What are your current fitness goals?
Danielle: Right now, my most exciting fitness goal is to improve my running so that I can run in all these fun races with the Leash Your Fitness girls! Of course, continuing to lose weight and learn and expose myself to healthier food is also important to me.
Naomi: What has been your most proud moment during your time with LYF?
Danielle: I’m most proud of committing to the run class. I was so intimidated at first to try this class and had so many reasons for why I shouldn’t go: I’m terrible at running, it’s so early on a Saturday, everyone else will be way better than me. Now I look forward to going to the class and I feel like I improve every week!
Keep up the great work, Danielle! We are so proud of you!
