Let's hear it for our second Lioness of March... Lynn!🥳

I'm not sure where to start with this amazing human, except to say that I feel deeply honored she chose Lioness for her gym home and am continuously impressed by her dedication to her health, especially on the really hard days. She has learned to listen to her body and adjust as necessary, accepting that each day might look a little different, while still fighting for the next progression or skill. She is eager to learn and always excited to cheer on her fellow Lionesses! She brings great energy and plenty of sass to each workout and we have no doubt she will check off her goals this year both in the gym and beyond!

Keep crushing it, Lynn!💪

Here's her story...

💜Tell us a little about yourself outside of the gym:
I live in Madison with my spouse, kids (20 and 11) and golden retriever Josey! I recently retired due to a significant health event, and am figuring out what life looks like after working 25 years in higher education. I love to read, knit, snuggle the dog, and drink coffee. Sometimes all at the same time! I rediscovering long lost hobbies like painting and playing my guitar. I am obsessing about garden plans for late spring.

💜What brought you to Lioness and what keeps you here?
My friend Kerri invited me. I was excited about the smaller class sizes and women-only spaces. Focusing on strength and balance is an integral part of my health recovery and this gym excels at that!

💜What is your favorite muscle group to work?
Core! And pretty much all of the muscles!!

💜What are you most proud of accomplishing with Lioness?
I’m super proud of lifting heavier each week and truly listening to my body and what it needs. I didn’t expect to find this community. People cheer for each other, ask about daily life, and are so supportive. When my mom unexpectedly passed, I knew my body needed movement. I didn’t hesitate to go to the gym, as I knew I could show up however I was.

💜What is the fitness/wellness goal you would like to accomplish in the next 6 months?
Heavy deadlifts! And start running again. Maybe a 5k?

💜What advice do you have for our newer members or those thinking about jumping in?
Do it!! it can be incredibly intimidating to join a new gym, but this community is amazing and non-judgmental and the trainers are so knowledgeable and welcoming!!

Let's hear it for our first Lioness of March... Robin!🥳

Robin just celebrated 6 months with Lioness, but it feels like she has been a member since the beginning. Her friendly vibe and incredible consistency have quickly made an impression on the coaches and members alike. She is curious and excited to learn each exercise, plus her form and attention to detail is top notch! We have loved watching her lifts progress and can't wait to see what the next stretch brings as she reaches her big 2026 goals!

Keep crushing it, Robin!💪

Here's her story...

💜Tell us a little about yourself outside of the gym:
I’m an Executive Assistant for a financial advisor, my husband and I have two kids, our daughter lives and works in Madison and our son is a sophomore in college. In my free time I like to read, put together puzzles, watch our son play baseball, enjoy being outside.

💜What brought you to Lioness and what keeps you here?
When I was looking for a gym to join Lioness interested me as it is an all female gym and the variety of classes and times to choose from . I stay because it’s a welcoming atmosphere, no judgment only support, encouragement, and guidance by staff and other Lionesses.

💜What is your favorite muscle group to work?
All of them, but if I had to pick I’d say arms/legs.

💜What are you most proud of accomplishing with Lioness?
Showing up 4 days a week as much as possible.

💜What is the fitness/wellness goal you would like to accomplish in the next 6 months?
In the next six months I’d like to bench press 100 lbs, gain muscle, and improve my eating habits.

💜What advice do you have for our newer members or those thinking about jumping in?
As Nike says, Just Do It! You won’t regret it.

Let's hear it for our next Lioness of February... Jenna!🥳

Jenna joined Lioness two years ago when another longtime member convinced her to give it a try and now she is closing in on 250 classes! Jenna is typically part of our early bird crew, keeping the J-name streak alive and well. She understands the importance of incorporating strength training into her true love, long distance training, and stays committed to using the tools we offer at the gym to make her running, swimming and biking a little easier and safer. She brings great energy to every workout and isn't afraid to dish out some sass, even before the sun is up.

Keep crushing it, Jenna!💪

Here's her story...

💜Tell us a little about yourself outside of the gym:
I am a working mom with three young kids. I love doing triathlon and lifting keeps me feeling healthy and strong.

💜What brought you to Lioness and what keeps you here?
One of my great friends (shoutout Christine Stocke) would always talk about how much she loved it. I finally worked up the courage to go to a first class and try it out. I keep coming back because I feel better and stronger.

💜What is your favorite muscle group to work?
From Kelley: Jenna missed answering this one, but I know she would want you all to know that the ab roller is her favorite move. Well, that or Bulgarian split squats.😆

💜What are you most proud of accomplishing with Lioness?
I was excited to conquer the taller box jump!

💜What is the fitness/wellness goal you would like to accomplish in the next 6 months?
I would like to finish the Lake Monona 20k at my race pace for the full run.

💜What advice do you have for our newer members or those thinking about jumping in?
Do it and stick with it! Also 5:30 am gals are badass.

Let's hear it for our first Lioness of February... Liz!🥳

Technically we were supposed to highlight this fabulous Lioness last month, but life happened and here we are!

It's hard to believe that Liz is getting ready to celebrate 2 years since her first Lioness class! From the day she entered the gym she has been eager to learn how to move her body safely, asking great questions and challenging her body to lift a little heavier each day. She brings a great attitude to the gym and is always ready to celebrate her classmates. She's got big goals for the coming year and I have no doubt she will knock them out of the park!

Keep crushing it, Liz!💪

Here's her story...

💜Tell us a little about yourself outside of the gym:
Outside of the gym, I love to spend time at home on Madison’s southwest side with my husband and our two cats. I enjoy knitting, playing guitar and piano, and watching movies. I just recently picked back up knitting after 5 years away and my first big project is a sweater!

💜What brought you to Lioness and what keeps you here?
I found myself restless and sore from long days at a desk job and knew I needed to make a lifestyle change. The women in my family also deal with osteoporosis and I know that weightlifting is important to prevent that and also to alleviate stress.

💜What is your favorite muscle group to work?
Glutes 🍑

💜What are you most proud of accomplishing with Lioness?
Increasing my weight on deadlifts, bench press, and squats! Something unexpected is how much stress relief I get from coming regularly.

💜What is the fitness/wellness goal you would like to accomplish in the next 6 months?
I would like to focus on consistency and routine and would love to get to 2 strength sessions and 1 sweat session each week.

💜What advice do you have for our newer members or those thinking about jumping in?
Ask the questions, there are so many smart and helpful people around you willing to help.
