Client of The Week: Meet Lauri!

Posted October 21, 2021

Congratulations to our Client of the Week, Lauri!

I have only been at Jada Blitz for a couple months, after moving to Buffalo from out of town. I toured several other gyms in the area but immediately felt like Jada Blitz Fitness was the right place for me.

BECOMING PART OF THE JADA BLITZ FAMILY

I have been active my entire life. I have been a swimmer, raced bicycles, competed in triathlons and have even run a couple marathons. A few years ago, I got really into weight training and loved the way it made me feel. I started playing tennis regularly and the weight lifting took a back seat to that for some reason. I want to get a regular lifting routine again and that’s when I met Liam!

MY GOALS & BECOMING A PERSONAL TRAINING CLIENT

Since I have just started at Jada Blitz I really don’t have any “goals met” at this point. Getting stronger feels good and will help with some achy joints and hopefully help my tennis game!

Liam has been amazing. I like that he incorporates compound movements into my lifting routine. He pushes me just hard enough, since I am just starting out again and don’t want injuries. Liam understands that I want to push myself to get stronger and always follows up with a quick text so I have my workouts on my phone, ready to do during the workouts without him there! He is also very pleasant in his demeanor and it has been nice getting to know him!

ADVICE FOR ANYONE THINKING ABOUT TRYING PERSONAL TRAINING

I’m my opinion hiring a trainer, especially when you are starting a new routine or starting at a new gym, is a great way to get to know your way around the gym and get a schedule and routine started.

THE FACILITY & STAFF

The staff at Jada Blitz could not be any nicer. I am always greeted when I walk in the door and the smoothie bar is awesome! There is NEVER any attitude—regardless of age/fitness level etc. I have been to many gyms over the years and that isn’t Always the case. I would highly recommend this gym!

MEET LIAM KINCAID, CPT AT JADA BLITZ FITNESS

Whilst my time with Lauri has been short thus far, I thoroughly enjoy training with her because she is one to push herself without my intervention and is a very determined woman. I seriously cannot wait to continue to work with her because I know, with her mindset, that she will see amazing progress.

One memory I have of Lauri is the first session we had when I told her how long I have been a trainer at Jada. Being that I had only been training a week, she stated “oh great, I got the new guy!” Hopefully, in the short time I have spent with her she has felt that we are able to work together well, which is a sentiment I share. I love her sense of humor, as well as her ability to be social and work hard. There have been multiple cases of me teaching her an exercise and saying to do only x number of reps to first learn the technique. And when she has it down, tries to do 2 more reps than what I say to do. Not always the case, but it is indicative of her intrinsic motivation to get better and I love that type of energy she exudes.
