We are SO excited to choose Olivia as our Client Spotlight for February ❤ She always brings a warm energy in-studio, all the while proving herself a force to be reckoned with in taking up-levels throughout class! Olivia works incredibly hard and truly makes the most of the 45 minutes she has, all while focusing on alignment and taking coach cues in stride. Coaches love having her in their classes to use as a model client, and we know we can put our new friends next to her for a welcoming and positive first-time experience. From pre-baby to post-partum and beyond, we are so grateful to have Olivia as a part of the LoHi community!
- How long have you been coming to Fierce45?
- I’ve been coming to Fierce on and off since 2018. Life’s thrown in a few plot twists over the years: starting a business while navigating motherhood has meant lots of time away from the studio, but I keep showing up. My first class postpartum, I cried in the car afterward because I was so deeply grateful to be back in that room.
- Favorite move on the machine?
- Twisted glider! Wild because if you asked me a few years ago what move I *hated* most, that would have been it. Full-circle moment that something I once struggled with is now where I feel most powerful.
- How has Fierce made a positive impact on your life?
- Fierce is my mental reset button. Every stressor gets left at the door. It’s impossible to worry about a sick kiddo, needy clients, or an endless to-do list when all your energy is focused on simply not falling off the FierceFormer® 😉 Beyond that, Fierce gave me the tools to reconnect with my body after years of feeling disconnected from it—first through injury, then through fertility treatments and pregnancy. It reminds me that strength isn’t just physical; it’s showing up for myself even when life gets messy.
- Why do you choose Fierce over another workout?
- First and foremost, the coaches (not sponsored, I swear)! I love them too much to leave. But I also come for the challenge. What does it mean to show up and be fierce? To me, it’s making choices that are bold and aggressive. Early on, choosing an up-level felt out of reach. Picking up an 8 lb weight while my body is already uncontrollably shaking? Hell no. As I got more comfortable on the machine, I shifted my mindset from up-levels to down-levels. Now in class, I start every move at my maximum effort. What’s the worst that can happen? I lose balance, I drop the weight, I modify mid-set. I do those things ALL THE TIME, but I also surprise myself often. The only way to build ferocity is to expect that you’re already capable of it, and Fierce reminds me every time that I don’t need to be “ready” to do more (and that it’s always okay to do less).
- Tell us a fun fact about you!
- I sang opera in college. One of the hardest things my voice coach used to make me do was sing while exercising to expand my lung capacity.
