Q: What made you decide to start functional fitness training?
 I wanted to try a new way of strengthening my body to help prevent further injury. The training has left me amazed with what my body is capable of and has challenged my fear of being unable to function “normally” after living with so much pain.

Q: What are some of your favorite things about R3VIVE?

Q: What advice do you have for someone considering our gym?
 YOU are always welcome! We all want to be experts when we try something new for the first time, but training here is a skill that you develop over time, just like any sport or instrument, practice is needed to see change and improve. Everyone here started from the same place you are starting- give it a go!

Q: Tell us an interesting fact that we probably don’t know about you…
 When I was 15 I climbed the tallest mountain in Costa Rica, took 10hrs of hiking with 30lbs on my back to reach the lodge, then the second day another 4hrs to reach the summit- with snow!

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.

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.
