april exercised her way through grad school.

April Crosby says grad school was “a six-year hellish initiation into a prestigious community where you get to be called Doctor.” Her schedule didn’t leave time for much else, but she did manage to join and attend 24 Hour Fitness a few times a week. During one of her workouts, she was approached by a 24 Hour Fitness trainer. She was, to say the least, skeptical. She thought, “Great, here we go with the sales pitch.” Reluctantly, she agreed to try it, assuming it would never work. The result? “ one and a half years, a doctorate degree, 20 pounds, and two dress sizes later, he’s still training me. In Marlon, I not only have a trainer, but I’ve also found a friend and a confidant.” She calls her decision to use a trainer, “...one of the best things I ever decided to do for myself.”
