19. If I had to choose my best POUND memory, it would be…
I was lucky enough to attend the very first POUND class with C and K. It was in a little studio in Hollywood, there were about 8 people in the room, and the moment the beat dropped and we all hit the ground in unison, my life changed. I was instantly hooked, and I knew that they were on to something big.
20. Hmm… what’s my most inspiring story from the road?
There are too many to choose from. But here’s one. A mom of three came to training in a small town in North Carolina. She had discovered POUND and said it finally gave her HERSELF back. It provided her with an outlet to be herself for one hour and she regained a piece of herself that she had lost. She had never taught group fitness before but she decided to become a POUND Pro so that she could give other women the same outlet and now she’s killing it! I hear similar stories to this often and it blows my mind every time.
