Member Name: Ann Rogan
“We moved here from New York 30 years ago when the youngest of our 3 boys was just a year old. The best thing about living at the beach is the opportunities and fun it gave to the boys growing up, from skim boarding, bodyboarding, surfing to lifeguarding and working as beach boys in Rehoboth. I enjoy working out of my garage painting and refinishing furniture. I started working out at a gym because of the back issues that run in my family. I thought that if I could keep my core strong and tight that it would perhaps keep me from having any issues. So far so good….We joined the Bodyshop in 2009 or 2010 when my husband was diagnosed with Mantle cell lymphoma. To build up his strength before heading into the unknown. (I’m glad we did)! The Bodyshop is friendly and comfortable. There is always a friendly face but it isn’t like going somewhere for social hour. You are given the space to do “your thing” without interruption. Perhaps my favorite health/ workout tip is to push when you don’t necessarily feel like it. Also try to set a goal. Each year for the past 3 years I’ve set a goal to accomplish on my birthday. The Bodyshop is a place where you can walk in feeling out of sorts either mentally or physically or even both and you feel so much better when you walk out. Adam and who he is sets the tone. Okay you might be sore the next day but that just proves that you worked hard.”
