I was hit head on in 2005 when a guy fell asleep and crossed the median. I broke 13 bones and the Vandy orthopedic surgeon said I would never walk again. They then said if I could walk again, I wouldn’t be able to wear shoes, walk on uneven surfaces or walk without an aide like a cane or walker. I sat around for over 9 years not doing anything but believing everything the doctors said I couldn’t do was true. I gained over 100lbs, stayed depressed, had no energy, stayed in constant pain and did absolutely nothing about it. Finally, I reached a point where I’d had enough and I decided that no one other than me should determine what I’m capable of. I started walking in March of 2016. I could barely walk around a block without being down for days after from the swelling and pain but I kept at it. By the beginning of August, I had lost around 55lbs or so and felt like I needed something MORE to keep the fat loss train going and had always been intrigued by boxing. I was intimidated at first, scared I wouldn’t be able to do the class. Fast forward to now and I’m 100% addicted. TITLE Cool Springs has been the absolute best decision I’ve made in years!! I look forward to class because I know I get to sweat it out and get my butt kicked for an hour by the best trainers in town. As of this morning, I’m doing 73 lbs!!”
