February Client of the Month... Lisa!

Client of the Month: Lisa Poulin

We are excited to celebrate Lisa Poulin as our Client of the Month! Lisa has shown us all what true strength and determination look like. A breast cancer survivor, she came to Fitness Together Burlington in December 2023 with a goal of improving her overall strength and mobility. Little did we know, she would inspire us every step of the way.

When Lisa started, she was dealing with nagging back pain, but she was determined to make a change. With dedication and hard work, she’s not only reduced her back pain, but she’s also gained significant strength, especially in her core. Her progress has been nothing short of amazing. She’s increased her weights on exercises like deadlifts, lunges, rows, and has worked hard to improve her balance. Now, Lisa is able to do things like weighted single-leg deadlifts —something she never thought possible when she first started.

On top of her strength gains, Lisa’s core strength has improved. She went from doing elevated high planks to now doing more advanced movements like low planks with a body saw from floor…which is no easy feat! But it’s not just about the physical improvements—Lisa’s attitude and energy light up the gym. She always greets the team and fellow clients with a smile, and no matter what challenge is thrown her way, she tackles it with determination.

Lisa is also committed to her fitness journey outside of her sessions with us. She arrives early for her cardio warm-up before every workout, and she attends the Tuesday Strength class for cancer survivors, where she continues to push herself and be a source of motivation for others.

Lisa, we are so proud of all you’ve accomplished. You’ve shown us that with hard work, perseverance, and a positive attitude, anything is possible. Keep up the incredible work—you’re an inspiration to us all!
