Tell us about yourself
I am from Fujian and work in Shanghai for 11 years. By introduced from a friend, I joined FitFam.
Your first FitFam workout
I always like outdoors, I noticed FitFam is mostly outdoors. It doesn't required any equipment, you only use your own body weight to train. I like the simplicity and it allows me to workout anywhere. ‘Less is more’ is what I appreciate about it. FitFam inspires me to workout anywhere without relying on any conditions no matter where I travel. Because of this, I do not have much reasons or excuses to skip workout. My first impression of FitFam is: friendly, welcoming, free, pure and diverse.
The FitFam Impact
FitFam has taught me many things : Discipline, passion, caring for others, empathy
Becoming a FitFam leader
Becoming a leader turned out to be more than I initially expected - it came with its fair share of paperwork and reading. None of it was difficult, just needed to allow time for completion. But since stepping into the role. I’ve gained so many more opportunities to connect with and truly get to share my knowledge with everyone. Not just through workouts, but through motivation as well.
Favorite Sweat and Connect moments
There are so many! With the people I have met through FitFam, we’ve faced challenges together and grown beyond them. Through these experiences, we have come to understand each other more deeply and built greater mutual respect our connection is much stronger as a result.
Anything else you would like to share?
I want to see more people supporting FitFam and representing FitFam in Blue and Teal. Make sure you get yourself a FitFam T-shirt.
