January 2015- Elaine Wiseman
What brought you to Thrive Fitness?
I came to Thrive after a referral from Treves Jansen. Treves has a level of fitness and knowledge that I admire. When I learned what a great value is offered at Thrive I decided to give it a try. I have not been disappointed ever!
What are your fitness goals? Where do you see yourself in 6 months?
I hope to see a leaner, stronger me in the next 6 months. The coolest thing about working out is the process of getting better and better all the time. Who knows what I am capable of?
What’s your favorite song to work out to?
This is really boring of me, but I don’t work out to music. If I have anything on, it’s the Ellen show.
What’s your favorite thing about working out at Thrive?
Definitely Jerry and Kate. They are awesome people. And Jerry clearly knows his job. I’ve been working with him for 9 months and I’ve made steady progress and without any injuries.
What’s your favorite exercise you do at Thrive?
I really like that sled!
What’s your least favorite exercise?
Eccentric leg curls. Ouch! Those never get easier!

Avocados
Do you do any type of exercise routine at home on your own time?
I enjoy Zumba classes.

A medical oncologist that I work with named David Waterhouse.
What horror fiction character scares you the most?
Hannibal Lecter...I’ve never watched Silence of the Lambs because Anthony Hopkins scares me to death!
Way to go, Elaine! Elaine has been doing 'long distance' trainging for about 9 months, which is a training program designed for individuals to come learn their routines once a month and then utililze that knowledge to complete their workouts at home. It's a great program for those that have a hectic schedule. Elaine recently started our Adult Performance Training program, which means we will be seeing her smiling face much more often, and we couldn't be happier about that!
