DARYL KIRBY

MEMBER SINCE

JANUARY 2017

Daryl Kirby is the definition of a hard-worker.  He is consistently attempting to learn new things about movement, exercise, and other fitness strategies.  Daryl’s inquisitive attitude toward fitness has driven him forward on the road to achievement.  This includes a leaner body composition, better mobility, and conquering the KB Swing – a goal he set for himself and was determined to achieve.

It’s not always easy to motivate oneself, and Daryl does this with ease as well as repeatedly finding ways to get others going too.  A simple high-five, a subtle, “Let’s Go!”, as well as, the constant support for those around him in a session; all of these things help make others feel stronger, and feed off of Daryl’s positive attitude.

Daryl is often found wearing a cut-off tee and a smile during the afternoon sessions, and most recently, planking on the beach during his summer vacation.  We’d like to commend Daryl on all of his hard work and dedication to the process, and are grateful to have him as a member of our community.

“Daryl is a nice guy to have in sessions. He’s positive, friendly and hardworking.”

— Randy Hoy, Fellow TFL Member

                                  Daryl and his wife, Karen.

KATIE MORIN

MEMBER SINCE APRIL 2012

Katie Morin has been a member of Train for Life for over 5 years and with her long time commitment and dedication to her training has completed over 750 workouts with us!  Katie is a model member who always strives to do her best and can always be called upon to demonstrate any exercise with perfect technique.

Katie is always a friendly face in every class she attends welcoming friends and new members alike.  She consistently looks for improvement in all of her movements and is never too proud to ask for help when learning a new skill.  With her strength training experience, she never hesitates to lend a hand to a member or an encouraging comment. 

Katie is proof that hard work and commitment to our system pays off, as she is usually toward the top of the leader board during our challenges, often times putting up comparable numbers to women half her age.   We are humbled to have Katie continue to put her trust in us, and hope to continue to motivate and guide her for many more years to come.  CONGRATS KATIE!

“I love walking into class and seeing Katie.  She always has a smile on her face.  She is consistent, and never complains so you couldn’t ask for a better training partner.”

— Kristin Cressotti

MELISSA LAVALLEE

MEMBER SINCE OCTOBER 2016

Melissa’s journey is just as impressive, as it is inspiring.  She has 100% dedicated herself to her training, and finding a true balance within her relationship with food.  All of this has afforded her the ability to feel better than she has in years! 

Melissa pushes herself to new limits each training session.  She humbly leads by example, and is someone fellow members tend to find helpful throughout the sessions they share with her.  If it’s not in sessions, she is an avid social networker always sharing her inspirational story and progress, and she encourages others to believe they can do it too.  She was nominated by a fellow member, and former Member of the Month, Jill Lueb who had only the nicest things to say about her...

“Melissa is a ray of sunshine every time I see her in class, she is supportive and friendly to everyone.  She shares fun food ideas and recipes, and is just a really nice human who represents the TFL way of life. “

Melissa has far surpassed many of the original goals she set for herself when she joined us back in October. She has completely transformed her body as well as her nutrition mindset.  She is stronger, leaner and more determined as she has been learning new skills in Small Group in preparation for her upcoming powerlifting competition – which we know she will crush!

This is only the beginning for Melissa, and we are so excited to see the peaks she will climb in the future!  Keep up all the great work.

Melissa's new tattoo highlights her love for strength.  She even desires to be a coach herself one day, and is actively taking the steps to pursue this currently.
