The last month of 2020 is here and what a crazy ride it’s been for all of us. If any year gave us excuses to slack on our health and fitness, this was the year. December’s spotlight, Shelbra, pushed through this wild year and kept up with her health and fitness goals. This has been Shelbra’s year to hit multiple PRs and improve herself mentally, emotionally and physically. Her genuine smile, and contagious laugh makes everyone feel at home while they sweat away. Read on and be inspired by Shelbra’s awesome story! We love having you in our No Limits Fitness family and are proud to be a part of your journey.
Q: What is your favorite inspirational quote?
A: “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”
- Will Durant
Q: What are your personal health and fitness goals?
A: Increase my education of health and fitness by studying my body and learning from professionals. I want to understand more of what is good for me. In my vegan diet, I miss out on several nutrients needed for my body to be healthy and strong. Additionally, I intend to pay attention to fat loss and not just the pounds that are shown on the scale.
Q: What ONE thing keeps you most focused and motivated to continue to work hard to reach your goals?
A: Recognizing physical AND mental results keeps me motivated! When I can look in the mirror and feel confident & accomplished, I am driven to keep pressing forward.
Q: Can you tell us a little bit about yourself and how you got started with us?
A: Originally from Memphis, TN, I have been in the area for 2.5 years and a coworker mentioned the gym and the style of workout to me. I decided to give it a try due to my ignorance of working out in an open floor gym. I completed the week trial and I have been hooked ever since!
Q: How has No Limits Fitness made a difference in your life?
A: Honestly, I am not sure where to start! The confidence, the peace of mind, the sanity and stability; the lifeline that it provides to my daily life. I am more motivated and encouraged in daily life and I am much more confident! I have more discussions with folks about health and wellness more so than I was doing prior to joining.
Q: What kinds of milestones have you accomplished and what specific results have you achieved so far?
A: Milestones - Paying attention to my body and honoring it when I need a physical break. Prior to joining, I would “push through” causing other injuries; that’s dumb! Now, I’m more educated and adjust my workouts as necessary.
Specific Results - I see back muscles when I look in the mirror! That is HUGE for me because I have always dreamed of having a nice, toned back!
Q. What made you decide to join No Limits Fitness?
A: Initially, the staff and members! Everyone was professional, encouraging and caring. There was no competition mode when we worked out; we were all at our own pace in our own body. I love that! Also, the structure. Not being educated on the physical body and knowing what exercises target which muscles was challenging for me in an open floor gym. NLF does it all for me and has since educated me to allow me to be more comfortable working out outside of the gym.
Q. What was the obstacle that almost prevented you from joining?
A: I already had a membership at a different gym when I joined. Applying economical thought almost prevented me from joining because I was thinking about the money that I’d be wasting. Joining has been the absolute best decision I have ever made for my physical being!
Q. What has exceeded your expectations since joining?
A: Physically, I am seeing muscles that I did not know were in the human body before I started seeing results.
Mentally, joining has created a safe space internally. I think better thoughts, I am more confident. I LOVE who I am becoming. I didn’t realize I’d be exercising mentally as well.
Q. What would you say to someone on the fence about making a change & committing to their goals?
A: Getting started is the hard part! Once you get the momentum going, believe in yourself and see results, it becomes a lifestyle; the commitment will become an indirect result.
Q. What is your “word” for this year?
A: Unicorn. The goals that I plan to achieve physically will not be like anything I have seen on myself before. Thus, unicorn :-)
