From Achy Knees to the “Fun Aunt” Life

Sometimes, change starts with one simple goal: to feel like yourself again. For this Monica, it wasn’t about perfection—it was about energy, strength, and keeping up with the little ones who bring her the most joy. What began as a Facebook scroll turned into a journey of confidence, community, and consistency. 💜

More from Monica:

“What hurts today makes you stronger tomorrow.”
As I got older, I realized I was not as active as I used to be and wanted to be, I knew
that I needed to do something about it. I want to keep up with my nephews and niece, I
want to be the fun aunt and to do that my health had to improve. My knees were achy,
and I had low energy, so I started looking for ways to get in better shape and increase
my energy.

Scrolling through Facebook I saw an ad for FabYOUlous Fitness, and it drew me in
because it was “real” women working out. It was like a lightbulb going off that I didn’t
have to be in perfect shape to join. It helped that the gym was all women my age made
it feel approachable. I won’t lie the words “bootcamp” were intimidating, but the
instructors were patient, and the members made me feel welcome. I felt encouraged
that I could do this. I love the accountability I have going to the gym, I always knew what
I needed to do, but didn’t have the motivation to do it myself. Now if I sign up for a
class, I know someone is expecting me to be there and I can’t miss it. I look forward to
working out and feel like I’m with friends when I’m there.
