Jen Nyman is the first person to introduce herself to anyone she doesn’t know and embodies many of the qualities we nurture here at Train for Life.  She’s welcoming, positive, and enthusiastic in literally every session.  We know that when Jen is here to train she will make others to push harder, but won’t let them leave without feeling like they did their best.

Her attitude and commitment to our training philosophy is something we can all learn from.  Since day one, Jen has always been eager to learn and embrace everything we educate her on from proper recovery to how to hit that big, personal best lift.  Jen is all about balance, which is something we foster here at TFL.  She never skips a workout, and is still a rockstar mom at every event, birthday party or school function her son, Kris, has.

Jen is always willing to help a fellow member so the next time you see Jen in one of your classes, be sure to partner up with her if you’re looking for someone to inspire you to have one of your best workouts!  We thank Jen for being a shining example of what it means to be part of the Train for Life community.

Jen is one of the people I look forward to working out with most. Always fun. Always funny. Always motivating me to do more.

AARON BAJGIER

MEMBER SINCE AUGUST 2016

Aaron came to us with a unique story and very specific goal: to get back to playing hockey after some unwanted time away from his favorite sport.  2 years prior to training with TFL, Aaron was spending the holiday season in a hospital bed after a surgery to remove a tumor from his brain.  This caused a setback in his hockey training, and decrease in his appetite and strength.

From day one, Aaron was one of the most polite and mature 12 year olds our coaching team has worked with.  His perseverance inspires our coaches as well as the other members in Aaron’s group – even “the bald guy that took his bar.”  This young man never misses a session, has drastically improved his strength and coordination, and has begun to work up a healthy appetite again.  We are also thrilled to say Aaron conquered his main goal, and just wrapped up his first full season back on the ice.

Aaron is constantly following our TFL Instagram page and commenting on our coaches’ workouts.  He has told us countless times how much he enjoys being here each week, but what he doesn’t realize is how inspiring he is to our team.  We’re so honored to be a part of his young athletic life.  It’s been a pleasure to watch Aaron get stronger week after week and we look forward to continuing to see him grow.
