The Warehouse came into my life at a time when I was feeling overwhelmed and unfulfilled. We were on the heels of welcoming our 3rd child (who was and is a pure delight and sunshine). I had adjusted my work schedule so I was more available for my family and present. Despite this, I felt like there was something missing. I had been active my whole life – from competitive gymnastics in my early years to softball, basketball and volleyball in high school. I even played club rugby for 2 years in college at Winona State. I enjoyed moving my body and being active. But I had lost A LOT of that after having children and expanding our family. Just like many other women, I had lost myself. I stopped making time for myself, pursuing those things that genuinely make me feel good and fulfilled. I remember the day that changed for me very clearly. It was April 2023, I was so tired of feeling tired, out of shape and unfulfilled. I googled on my phone – “Gyms near me” and happened to stumble upon The Warehouse. I signed up for a class that same day, walked into the class blindly, not knowing a single person, shook Nickie’s hand after I introduced myself and did my first Boot Camp class. I left feeling so welcomed, unable to move, and with a sense of fulfillment. I bought a “punchcard” for classes but burned through those in 2 weeks and knew The Warehouse was it.
