Member of the Month: Sandra Prejean
Here’s her story! 🤍💪🏽
I found my gym home 3 years ago. I had gone to a couple of gyms, but I never really stuck to anything when it came to working out.
My sister always talked about one gym in particular and how much she enjoyed it. I always thought she was nuts because she would wake up early to book classes and after class she would come back like whipped dog, but all the while, she enjoyed every moment.
I decided to try it out, and I took a spin class and enjoyed it very much. The instructors were so encouraging. When I left, I knew that this was where I belonged. I felt the presence of God and I was at peace even though I was exhausted. I was so excited that I finally found a class that I enjoyed.
This brought me to my next level in my exercising journey.
I really wasn’t exercising for losing weight; it was more of a mental stability for me.
I know We serve an awesome God and I didn’t realize He was preparing me for my next season in life.
This past October, I found out I had stage 4 lung and liver cancer. God knew that I needed to be strong both physically and mentally to fight this battle. We serve an Amazing God and He walked with me through every step.
I made a hard decision to put my membership on hold for a month, but God trained me for this fight and I decided to continue at the gym. The gym was the one place I could forget about my battle and do the one thing I enjoyed, “spin.”
The instructors inspiration was something only God could have done for me. They were speaking, but all I heard was God rooting me on.
Fast forward to May, I’m now in remission! Only God knew this miracle would come and I’m so Blessed to experience not only His unfailing love but be a part of this Amazing Gym Family I now have through this journey.
