Introducing our Gym M.O.M. (Member of the Month) for October 2023 … Vanessa Haug! ⁠

Vanessa has been very consistent over the last few months and is a frequent attendee of the 12pm class. During this time, Vanessa has been working diligently with her coaches, setting up times to check-in on her goals and creating customized plans to help her get there. 

One of her goals is to achieve her first pull-up, a goal that has become more achievable lately, due to the hard work she has put in, by not only coming to classes, but following her prescribed workout plan before and after classes. 

Her ability to learn and her determination for achieving her goals has been noticed by her coaches and peers, making Vanessa an easy choice for this months gym MOM!

Learn more about the March of Dimes here. Why is it important to us? We are excited to host a workout in support of the March of Dimes and the South Shore Hospital NICU team. My sister-in-law, Amanda Dougherty, and my nephew, Owen Dougherty, received a lot of care during Owen's premature and traumatic birth. Amanda and her family will be walking on the SSH NICU/SCN team in the March for Babies walk on May 9th, and we would love to support her by donating to the cause and helping other families in need. When's the charity class? We would love for everyone to come join us, no matter your fitness level, in support of this great cause. The class will be hosted on Sunday, April 12th, at 11 am.
