Fredericksburg Fitness

Client of the Month: Jennifer Speidel 

I found FFS because I was looking for personal training after too many years of not doing anything. I joined FFS in April 2025 because I was tired of being lazy. I have always enjoyed working out. I have a BS in PE. I played sports my whole life until a cancer diagnosis at 47. I know what I am supposed to do. Key words are “supposed to do.” I am not a self-starter when it comes to fitness. I need an obligation to make sure I show up.  Once I get to the gym, I work hard. It’s the commitment to arriving at the gym with an actual plan that was lacking. I have noticed the changes in my body shape and muscle definition. I am excited to keep going. My strength had dropped drastically after cancer treatments. FF has made it possible to get back to where I was before (or at least close.) I had never done Pilates before. Yup, love it. Had I found Pilates 20 years ago, I doubt I’d still be lazy. I love working out at FFS. I even added an extra day because I felt like doing more. I have worked with several different trainers. I am always a little nervous with a new one. Each one has made me feel welcome and not like the lazy woman I am. The culture, environment, and trainers at FF are the best.
