Christie Brown is a REFIT Diana participant, and our March Participant of the Month!
Christie is married with a three-year-old son. A few months ago she moved to the Diana, WV area from Roanoke VA, and enjoys attending REFIT at the community center.
Christie stays active because she is a cancer survivor who is overcoming the side effects of the cancer and chemo. “I am committed to becoming as healthy as possible for a better life,” she says. Christie’s friend Ashley made a pact to exercise and get fit and started attending REFIT, which has empowered Christie to become more active too.
Christie’s desire to become as healthy as possible gives her motivation. Being physically active is a priority since it can lower the risk of developing many cancers. “As a cancer survivor, I want to do all I can to become healthy and lower those chances for cancer again in the future,” says Christie.
Christie thinks everyone should try an Active SWV free program because it’s time you can spend on YOU! “REFIT for me is a place to escape for an hour and just enjoy the uplifting music and have a blast just moving my body!” says Christie. REFIT is for everyBODY, and is welcoming to everyone no matter your fitness level. “I love the people who surround me there and always leave feeling so empowered! I’m thankful for this opportunity!”
Check out all the ways to join an Active SWV free program on the website calendar.
