October 2014 Member of the Month

Heidi Rose

This month we invite you to join us in celebration of Heidi! Joining us this year with the goal to lose some weight and tone her muscle after giving birth to her third child, Heidi has been incredible successful at Gymnazo. She walks into the facility and it feels like she brings in sunshine with her. Her sunny personality, cheerful encouragement of others and ultimately her determination to see her goals to completion has been inspiring. Heidi is the kind of athlete that only grows stronger, faster and move better as movement patterns get more complex. In the last 8 months Heidi has transformed her physique, moved up from G2 to G3 and certainly was the most cheered on athlete to pass the G3 Assessment! The entire session stopped to cheer her on as she completed the final exercise! We love you Heidi! Thank you for allowing us to help you achieve your goals! It's certainly an honor!
