We’re excited to tell you a story about how the Sara is becoming her best self at Bluprint Fitness! Before joining, Sara lacked the drive and desire to commit. She didn’t quite have the confidence to walk into a gym alone and know what to do and was worried she wasn’t capable of positive change. But Sara decided to GO FOR IT – committing to Bluprint Fitness in May of 2019 and hasn’t looked back since. Sara has now lost over 80 pounds, shed over 17% body fat, and can now do things (like run full miles at a time) that she never thought possible.

Romayne is no stranger to hard work, but her health & fitness journey, like most of ours starting out, was missing some key focus points that could ultimately help her reach her goals on a regular basis. Before joining, Romayne fell into the habits of: Only measuring results through weight loss. Only focusing on cardio. Not performing challenging enough workouts. And had no direction or true understanding of nutrition and its role with health & fitness. But Romayne did what most go-getters do and found a solution to get past the roadblocks she was running into and joined Bluprint Fitness during the Summer of 2022.

I asked Romayne what keeps her consistent at Bluprint...Read more
