As a professional woman who had moved to Kansas City from out of state she had to create her own support system from scratch. She found a lot of support at her local gym and in the culture there, but the sweaty, gritty culture only fulfilled part of her dynamic personality. She loved the physical challenge of the high weight reps and push up quotas, but she also wanted to feel like a woman. That can be hard to do when your hair is back in a messy bun and your face is bright red with sweat!
