I moved to the area in spring of 2023. I left a decade of dedicated fitness at CrossFit Explode, where I had formed a beloved community. It was too far to drive to & I was hesitant to join a new CrossFit, so I googled gyms in the area. Pwrbld piqued my interest so I inquired online and saw it in person. Machines were all new to me, so I used the one free training session and was set up with Paige Willis. Paige is young enough to be my daughter, but that didn't stop her from helping me prioritize goals and make a plan. She walked me through a tough workout, supportive and engaged the whole time. Knowing very little other than CF, I decided to have Paige write programming for me weekly. This proved to be cost-effective and majorly helpful as I learned a whole new way of fitness. I saw positive changes in my body, as I followed along. She checks in with me and is always happy to show me things, check my form, or re-establish goals. She is a positive influence on me, despite our age difference, and has made me feel welcomed and seen for where I am in my own journey. I am not the typical Pwrbld client by age or gender, but Paige has made sure I am getting what I need. I appreciate having a badass female to connect to and grow with, at a reasonable price point. Anyone who needs a trainer-check Paige out!
