Member of the Month Spotlight: Elise’s Journey to Consistency, Confidence, and Community
Please join us in congratulating Elise, our Member of the Month at Studio ME!
Elise’s story is one many of us can relate to—trying to find the right fitness routine, bouncing between gyms, and hoping something would finally click. But her journey took a turn (on a slightly rough Saturday morning!) that led to lasting results, newfound energy, and a community she genuinely loves showing up for.
“My first visit to Studio ME was initiated by a friend who wanted to find a gym together,” Elise shares. “I was mildly hungover on a Saturday when we tried our first kettlebell class, but I made it through and have kept coming back!”
From that very first class, Elise felt something different about Studio ME. She’d tried other local gyms, but nothing stuck. Workouts got boring. The environment felt impersonal. And let’s face it—being corrected by random strangers isn’t exactly motivating.
“I was looking for something I wouldn’t get bored of and want to quit after a few months. It was important to me that I find an environment that was personable and where I felt comfortable. No strangers giving unsolicited pointers on my form, and where instructors actually care to know your name!”
At Studio ME, she found her people. Small class sizes. Coaches who actually care. And an uplifting energy that makes even the toughest workout feel like a win.
“I love the variety of workouts and the energy the instructors and my Studio peers bring. I still get excited to work out—even after a year. All I need to do is show up, and I know I’ll leave feeling better than when I walked in.”
And the consistency has paid off. Over the past year, Elise has seen more than just numbers change—she’s noticed real, tangible results. Her confidence has grown. Her fitness has improved. And when her recreational soccer league kicked back up after a long hiatus?
“I had no trouble keeping up this time around.”
That’s the power of building a routine that sticks. Elise’s journey is proof that when you find the right space—with the right support—you don’t just start a fitness journey. You build a lifestyle.
“Working out at Studio has been the routine that stuck, and I’m so grateful that I’ve found something that works for me.”
Congratulations, Elise! Your dedication, positivity, and authentic energy inspire all of us. Thank you for showing up, cheering others on, and reminding us that fitness is about so much more than physical results—it’s about finding a place where you belong.
