Michelle’s Story

Michelle Medeiros of Visalia joined The Kaweah Health Lifestyle Fitness Center in 2015. “I was tinkering with the thought, and figured January was a good time to start,” she said. “My goal was to have a better life. Period. To better myself and build confidence.”

Michelle had tried other gyms, but without success. “It’s hard to go in a public place and exercise,” she said. “But I have coworkers who told me to try The Kaweah Health Lifestyle Fitness Center.”

Michelle established a routine and set goals. “I work a 13-hour shift, and I sleep a lot better if I exercise,” she said. “My goal over the past year has been to go every day after work and I’ve been doing that.” Her longer-term goals have not yet been reached. “I want to bench press 100 pounds, and my long, long-term goal is to pick myself up off the ground if I fall when I get old.” Michelle laughs a strong, confident laugh.

Michelle took action, which changed the way she feels about exercising in public. “Joining The Kaweah Health Lifestyle Fitness Center is the best choice I’ve made.”
