June Member Spotlight: Kendall - Peak Strength and Fitness

We all know the smiling face and work ethic of Kendall around the gym! This lovely lady just graduated high school and is moving on to the next chapter of her life with her gym family behind her! Let’s get to know who Kendall is outside of the gym a little better….

Who are you? Tell us a little about yourself, your family and your life….

I’m 18 years old and I just recently graduated from North Gwinnett High School. I plan to major in Nutritional Science at Georgia State University this fall in hopes to one day become a Registered Dietician! I have two pretty cool parents named Mark and Shawn whom I credit most of my awesomeness to. My love of crawfish and all things New Orleans Saints stems from the fact that both of them were born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana and that’s where all my extended family still lives today… Whodat! They are both big time marathon runners (probably why I love any WOD that involves running;) and they also just recently celebrated their 33rd wedding anniversary! Keep in mind they were also high school sweethearts..crazy! I have two older sisters. Katie who is 24 and a Georgia Tech alumni and Kelly who is 21 and a future Georgia Tech alumni…yeah they may have gotten the majority of the brains in the family but I can and always will be able to lift more than them and that’s what matters most right?! I have two pups, Kandi who is a Bichon Frise and KoKo who is a Yorkie and they are both 15 years old!! #grannies

What brought you to Peak?

The one and only, Christal Cochran (previous member for those of you that don’t know her) brought me to peak! She was my personal trainer for 4 years before I decided to go to a crossfit gym, she said this gym was the absolute best.. and she was right 🙂

How long have you been a member at PSF?

I have been a member since July of 2016… so almost one year now!

What is something we might not know about you?

I have been to Disney World over 35 times… yeah that’s not a typo, I’ve really been over 35 times. I may have forgotten to mention my family’s (my moms) addiction to Disney World.

What is your favorite song to workout to?

I don’t think I have one song in particular but anything that involves Drake I’m down for.

Who is your hero?

My hero is most definitely my dad. I would not be the person I am today if it wasn’t for him! He is the best ever. – and Lauren Fisher duh 😉

What hobbies do you have?

My hobbies include crossfit, eating and more crossfit and if watching the Bachelor can be considered a hobby…then that too.

What is it that keeps you coming back? What motivates you to work hard?

What keeps me coming back is the environment and the people. Everyone here is so nice and encouraging and are the kind of people I like to surround myself with. I also like seeing the progress I make in the gym and it motivates me to keep working hard to get better! And the coaches are pretty bomb too.
