When did you start at Five Forks Athletics?

Taylor - "My husband and I started in December of 2022."

Jason - "End of December of 2022"

What is your favorite workout?

Taylor - "Single Leg Deadlifts - I guess all those years of ballet prepped me for this moment." 

Jason - "The MURPH workout has been my favorite to date. Running, pull ups, pushups and air squats..what’s not to love lol. And getting to do it in remembrance of a fallen hero makes it extra special." 

What type of exercise were you doing before Five Forks Athletics? 

Taylor - "I have always been a big fan of HIIT classes, pilates, strength training, etc. You name it, I’ve probably tried it!"

Jason -  "Taylor and I were working out at F45, which is another HIIT style workout, in Nashville before we moved here. We would also incorporate weight training a couple times a week."

What are your health and fitness goals and have you achieved any of those goals, how’s it going so far?

Taylor - "When I started in December of last year, I was five months pregnant & just starting to get past the hump (or, do I say bump? Lol) of dry heaving at the thought of any food and/or workout. evoFIT not only helped me remain active throughout my pregnancy, but has helped me become stronger each and every week since the birth of my son, Beckett!"

Jason - "My goals have always been to gain muscle and improve my cardiovascular health. Overall, I’d say I am accomplishing just that. Which is good, because I now have a 8 month old son that I’d like to be around for as long as I can!"

 Has Five Forks Athletics affected your life outside the gym?

Taylor - "This gym has truly impacted mine, and my families, lives in such incredible ways. Not only has it provided a place to focus on our health, but it has given us the opportunity to make long lasting friendships and a true sense of community. We are so grateful to be a part of something so special."

Jason -  "Taylor and I have been in the Greenville area for about a year now. When we moved here, we didn’t know a lot of people. But after joining Five Forks Athletics, we soon realized that we were joining a community of people, rather than just a gym. You can feel the genuine care for one another here and it makes coming in to do squat snatches a little more tolerable."

Do you have any other special memories or achievements during your time here?

Taylor - "I have to admit, having our 8-month old cheer on his Dad during the in-house competition at the 10-year celebration was pretty darn special. Can’t wait for many more of these memories to come!" 

Jason - "I switched from evoFIT to CrossFit in March of ‘23 and was fortunate enough to compete in the 10 year anniversary in-house competition at the RX level. Tyler Sutherland and I were able to place 5th, which I take great pride in because of all the incredible athletes that competed that day."
