Jessica Prado – June 2022

How long have you been part of the BluCru?

I joined March 2022

What was the problem you were having before you discovered BluPrint?

I always struggled being overweight, but I was determined to become healthy I discovered running. I instantly fell in love with running and was able to lose almost 100lbs. Once I got to my weight goal I realized that I had no muscle. I struggled for months trying to learn and be consistent with my strength workouts but the motivation was not there and I was not able to see any progress. After joining BluPrint I have gained knowledge and motivation for a healthy workout experience. 

Take us to the moment you realized what you were now doing was working. 

When I first signed up for BluPrint I had absolutely no strength in my arms and lacked confidence. 3 months into my membership we did an exercise for rope climb and to my surprise I was able to make it all the way to the top! That’s something that I never thought I would be able to do. As I paid close attention, I realized that I was now able to do movements I’ve never done before and gained confidence with weights. I can also now visually see a difference in my body. 

What is your biggest accomplishment at BluPrint?

My goal when I joined BluPrint was to be able to bench press half of my weight and I was able to accomplish that. I have learned and done workouts I’d never done and only heard of before such as back squats, deadlifts, and bench press which is very rewarding. 

What’s your favorite thing to do at BluPrint?

I love attending classes with AMRAP workouts. I also like how encouraging and welcoming everyone is. It’s such a positive vibe every workout. 

What keeps you coming back to BluPrint?

The results that I have seen on my body! Also the knowledge I am consistently gaining. 

What would you tell someone considering joining?

The sooner you start the sooner you will see results. You won’t regret it. 

What do you do for fun?

I love running and going on hikes. 

What’s your favorite food?

Pizza and wings
