Chelsea writes about Georgian, who turned the "Big 20" into a game changer

Georgian has never been a gym girl. No, not her! She is so good at counting her calories and portioning out her food for the day, but lifting weights and doing cardio are two things she never did. But then her special someone convinced her to join Pure Austin. At first, she walked the treadmill and did some Yoga classes, but I could never get her to come to Cardio Core or Pump. And then the Big 20 happened! She was so cute. I remember a few days before the contest began she was telling me about her game plan and how pumped she was to workout 20 days in a row and how excited she would be if she won the raffle.

Georgian is a superstar. During the contest, she made it to Ande's Zumba class, she took Pump with me and Shirley, she took Kathy's and Beto's spin, and she showed up with a smile to my Cardio Core class rocking the plank, 3 risers, and pushing so hard she inspired me! She didn't win the raffle, but she fit into her skinny jeans and the other day I told her she could never where a certain pair of pants again because they didn't show how fit she has become!!!!

This is what she had to say, " I am really impressed with the challenge and what it's done for me personally. It's really been good for me to get out of my comfort zone and rock out the different classes. And while I don't plan to keep up a daily gym regimen, I do plan to maintain 4 classes a week. (Quite an improvement over the one a week I was doing prior to the Big 20!)"

Georgian is a great example of commitment and motivation. She's not your typical gym gal, but she became one!!!!! She even showed up for Cardio Core and Pump this week and the contest was over. She is an example of knowing what's she working for and doing the work necessary to achieve her goals.

This is why I love fitness. Good Job Georgian.
