What motivates you to workout?

The resulting boost in mood and energy afterward, plus a desire to maintain my health.

What are your favorite classes at ENRGi?

Boy, it's hard to narrow it down. Warrior Conditioning has always been a fave; Ropes Gone Wild; Run, Row, Climb; Power Abs. One of the great things about ENRGi has always been the variety of offerings. 

What is your favorite quote?

"The immortal words of Socrates, who said, '... I drank what?' " ;)

How do you recover post workout?

When time allows, Knead to Stretch/Gravity Recover classes or Normatec sessions are great. Otherwise, I have a foam roller and massage stick at home that feel just great on my IT bands . . . NOT!

What is your guilty pleasure?

Based upon the advice of counsel I assert my rights under the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution against self incrimination . . . or, did you mean diet-wise? These days, I have to be pretty strict, but, back in the day, Indian or Arab sweets.

Member Spotlight, Alissa J. - October 2016

What motivates you to workout?
I continually strive to be the best version of myself both mentally and physically. For me, working out and eating healthfully serve as the foundation to that ever evolving journey.

What are your favorite classes at ENRGi?
Bags and Bells. I am also digging the new gravity classes.

How do you recover post workout?
Embarrassingly, if you would have asked me that a couple of months ago I wouldn't have had much to write. However, I've recently taken full advantage of the gravity yoga/recover classes and have experienced the positive benefits both in and out of the gym. I also indulge in massages when I can and of course the normatec recovery sessions.

What is your guilty pleasure?
My other life goal (besides the whole 'being the best version...') involves: Burgers. With that, my runner up life goal is to try all the 'must-have' burgers in Chicago and wherever my travels take me. (At the risk of starting a burger war, IMO, Au Cheval's burger is good, but not the best in the city).
