Meet April

Did you have a teacher in your life whom you can credit with helping get you to where you’re at today?  Did they make you frustrated, laugh, or even cry because their lessons felt like much more?

Did those teachers challenge you because they cared about you as much as you cared about them?

As a professor of small animal science for the last 10 years April is very familiar with those types of feelings. She is constantly pushing her students emotionally as much as she is academically. Remember what

“I tell my students that they have to go outside of their comfort zones in order to grow as a student and as a person.”

April then decided to reach out to Training for Warriors because in her mind there’s nothing worse than a professor that doesn’t practice what he or she preaches and pushed herself out of her own comfort zone with one simple button…

“SEND EMAIL”

“I thought what is the worst that could happen? I won’t do it. I will let fear consume me. Been there. Done that. What do I have to lose with making this initial contact? Turns out, I didn’t lose anything but my low self-esteem (and a few digits and percentages). I was petrified when I walked into this place. I couldn’t even take a deep breath without feeling every inch of my chest tighten, Tears were imminent.”

Over the last few weeks we’ve shared stories about the IMPACT TFW has made on our members lives. If you’ve noticed there’s been a common thread about what TFW has meant to people and it’s not just about fitness, it’s about helping people become better all around.

Today’s story is no different.

How was TFW brought to our happy little community in Bucks County?

How did the path become what it is?

When a rain drop hits a body of water it creates a ripple effect and it didn’t start 3 years ago, it happened practically a decade ago

It all started in 2007.

I had played my last game of club college lacrosse, and I would soon be walking across the stage to get my degree. It was only a few short weeks until graduation and I thought would be beginning my career in law enforcement, not only something I had spent the last 4 years working on, but also something I had spent the last 8 years dreaming about. But something months earlier took that dream away.

When my knee popped, I knew something wasn’t quite right.

Waay back in September 2015, I entered a universe called TFW!

They were starting an 8 week program and I knew I needed to make some life changes.  At the time I signed up I had no idea what I was getting myself into and was apprehensive to say the least.  As the story gets told, I was the first one to sign up and it was on “hurricane day.” I told Mike, I’ll do this…I need to do this..but there is no way you are going to get me to do THAT (sprinting).
