Beth Anne’s Drive to Succeed
“I missed some workouts and got a text checking up on me. When I came back, I was told I was missed, and the coaches
Beth Anne is a prime example of where hard work and dedication can get you. She made her commitment to come work out in July of 2017 during one of our promotions. “I was at my biggest and continuing to get bigger,” she says. “Something had to be done, and I said yes with the intention of only taking advantage of the promotion.” Beth Anne is honest about the obstacles that had prevented her from reaching her goals: “My pride and my mind were problems. I compared myself to others in the room and wanted results in a week without putting in the work. I wanted to come in, do my thing, hide, and leave. I had a chip on my shoulder, thinking I would never get too involved or fit in because I was the fat girl and everyone judges the fat girl in class. I was embarrassed and wanted to be left alone. When the coaches came around to help me, I snapped at them.” Beth Anne soon learned that she could overcome those obstacles and reach her goals. She believes that Daphne Fit Body Boot Camp has helped her in more ways than one. She even shared a story with us about the turning point where she started to believe in herself:
Before
and other members confirmed that. I finally opened up to a coach and told them that I was very insecure because I was the fat girl and could never be in a class with skinny girls. She told me they had all started right where I was, and I could not compare myself to others. We are all different, and the coaches were always showing modifications according to levels. I finally took my eyes off of the floor, looked up, and noticed all the different shapes and sizes in the room and that other people were doing modified exercises, too. “However, I was still going through the motions and not paying attention to form,” admits Beth Anne. “A coach noticed I was getting more comfortable and gave me a bigger weight to use. I politely declined, but she did it anyway and spotted me until I finished — she didn’t leave me. When I got up, I was stunned I had actually managed the bigger weight! “Next, I started asking coaches how to do things correctly. The coaches took notice, and they started showing me more. One day, the theme of the week hit me like a ton of bricks, and I started crying like a baby right there in front of everyone; what I realized was that the coaches really do care about us and are living out that mission every day. During the workouts, I recognized that the same people I judged as the ‘skinny gym people’ were encouraging me and giving me high-fives. I started saying ‘thank you’ whenever they showed me a better form. I started making goals and wanting to do better. “If those coaches were willing to invest so much in me, I couldn’t let them down. I learned that when someone believes and invests in me, I can move mountains! The coaches don’t just stand around and tell you what to do or sit behind a desk. They work out with you. They encourage you. They figure it out with you. Most of all, they love you. When I opened my mind, and looked up from the floor and got the chip off my shoulder, that’s when things started happening. And I actually developed so many incredible relationships with people of all shapes and sizes. “Because it’s not just a gym. It’s a family and a community dedicated to making you better. They encourage you to bring out your best, and if you don’t, they find a way to pull it out. They accept you right where you are and patiently help you get where you need to be.”
