☃️ December FierceFam Spotlight: Alex McDermott ☃️

How long have you been coming to Fierce45?
I’ve been coming to Fierce a little over 1.5 years now. I started in the spring of 2023.
Favorite move on the machine?
I love a good carriage lunge. I actually like legs the least but that move makes me feel strong! Don’t ask me to do any move off the back pegs.
How has Fierce made a positive impact on your life?
Fierce has allowed me to continue doing all the things I love to do—be outside and active with my family. I had a back injury two years ago and had to give up the high-intensity exercise I’d always loved, and I noticed how much that had an impact on my identity and mental health. I knew Pilates would help heal my back, but Fierce is the best of everything; it keeps my core strong but also satisfies that itch I have to do something that is ridiculously hard every time.
Why do you choose Fierce over another workout?
I choose Fierce because it’s one of the only kinds of exercise I can do with confidence that I won’t re-injure myself. This means I can do all the other parts of my life with confidence too. I also love the coaches and appreciate how encouraging every trip to the studio is.
Tell us a fun fact about you!
I have a black belt in Taekwondo!
