At EmpowerFit HC, we love to celebrate the achievements of our community members, and today we’re thrilled to highlight one of our own—Pat Roberts! Pat has reached a major milestone by attending 50 classes and earning her Fit Rank. This accomplishment is no small feat and shows Pat’s dedication, consistency, and hard work over time.
Pat’s journey with us has been one of steady progress. From the first day in class, she brought energy and focus, showing up for herself and embracing the challenge. It’s been amazing to see how her confidence and strength have grown in every session, and we couldn't be prouder to see her hit this significant mark.
Fit Rank is more than just a number; it represents a commitment to personal growth, community, and fitness. Whether it’s getting stronger, feeling healthier, or simply enjoying the process of working out with others, Pat’s journey is a testament to the power of perseverance and positive energy in our fitness community.
We caught up with Pat to hear about her experience reaching this milestone, how she stays motivated, and what it feels like to be part of the EmpowerFit HC family.
What motivated you to start attending our workout classes?
I had been looking for an exercise group to join when I saw an article in the Clarion about your class. It fit the bill for my needs.
Do you have a favorite type of workout or exercise we do?
I don't have a favorite type of workout. It all works together to make me stronger!
How has being part of this fitness community impacted your fitness journey?
This fitness group has been inspiring to me to keep coming and keep working out.
What changes have you noticed in yourself, both physically and mentally, since you started?
Since I have been working out with this group I have noticed that I have more energy, and my clothes are looser! Mentally, this helps get the clouds out of my brain!
Do you have any advice for someone just starting their fitness journey?
When starting out you may think that you can't do this or that move , but keep at it and eventually you WILL be able to do that move!
What’s something about you (outside of fitness) that others might not know?
I have a lot of interests in a lot of things. I am a quilter - I piece by machine and I quilt by hand. I enjoy a good book. The library knows me by sight! I fiercely love my family. We are blessed with 2 sons of which we are very proud; 2 daughters-in-law to which we are close; and 3 granddaughters and 3 grandsons. I am involved in my church community, which is also a family to me. I love nature. I could go on.
Pat’s story is a reminder that progress comes from showing up, staying consistent, and embracing the journey—one class at a time. We are so proud of Pat and can’t wait to see what’s next on her fitness journey. Congratulations again on reaching Fit Rank, Pat!
