Read Chris's story below to learn how he's found his fitness (and fun!) at Degree!

What brought you to Bootcamp HIIT in the first place

I am breaking in a new bionic knee, recovering from a bout of autoimmune disease and was facing a few months of winter. It was time to challenge myself a bit!

What was your first impression? How has it changed?

Challenging without being judgmental. The activities are more scalable than I realized at first and Coach Mairead does a great job introducing the options. 

What was your first bright spot?

I was an early member when Degree first launched a few years back, so it was really wonderful to see [the owner] Kelly not only assume the mantle of leader, but to bring her own style and personality with much enthusiasm and cheer. 

What are you working on now? 

Maintaining a routine while we are experiencing our very own "Groundhog Day". 

What is your favourite Degree memory?

Having Coach MJ coach the first free session I attended! Coach MJ was at the first classes a few years ago when I was there. The positive change in her demeanor, leadership and appearance are truly inspirational.
