Mia’s Story:<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

“When I was young, like before my 20\u2019s, I felt weak and skinny and was never motivated to exercise. One day, I looked at myself and realized how unhealthy I felt and that’s when I decided to do something about it. I slowly developed a sense of true balance and appreciating my body allowed me this awareness to listen to my body better.<\/p>\n

Today, I am a Taekwondo instructor and started that journey to keep up with my 2 kids. My Taekwondo journey wasn’t just about learning kicks and punches; it was a personal quest to stay active, connect with my children, and prove to myself that age is just a number. When my first kid started taking Taekwondo classes, I felt an immediate urge to join them, not just to be supportive, but to actively participate and share in their experiences, pushing myself to keep up with their energy and enthusiasm on the mat. I am from Korea and when I was growing up Taekwondo was all around me, but it never interested me. I was involved in different martial arts when I was younger. But now I love Taekwondo thanks to my Master, my boss, and my family Master Yoo!\u00a0<\/p>\n

My active lifestyle that I started has rewarded me with progress through each workout and I noticed significant improvements in my physical fitness.<\/strong> My flexibility increased, my balance became enhanced, and I felt a renewed sense of vitality. More importantly, the shared experience with my children created a deeper bond, allowing us to talk openly about discipline, perseverance, and the value of setting goals. Each day I am grateful for all the opportunities to work out, teach, and learn.<\/p>\n

I am better now than I ever was!<\/p>\n

To keep staying active when I\u2019m not doing Taekwondo, I workout at Active at Reed\u2019s Crossing. I am part of The ZONE program, have done a few ZONE challenges and take the group classes at Active as well. I believe that every great workout deserves recognition<\/strong> and I can\u2019t say enough for all the instructors here at Active Wellness Center at Reeds Crossing!<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve pushed me beyond my limits, and I’m stronger for it. Thank you! Every drop of sweat was worth it because of all of your help! You guys make every session challenging yet enjoyable. Thanks for the incredible workouts!”<\/p>\n

Thank you for sharing your Active story with us, Mia! The Active team has loved seeing your dedication and excitement in classes, in The ZONE and each time you show up. We’re so happy you’re in our Active community!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
