Member Spotlight: From Setback to Comeback — Teresa’s Journey

Teresa’s story is one of resilience, recommitment, and the power of community. A longtime fitness enthusiast and former cycling instructor, Teresa’s active lifestyle came to a halt during the pandemic. Like many, she faced challenges staying consistent and ended up gaining 60 pounds.

In 2021, she dipped his toes back into fitness through CrossFit, but the results didn’t match the effort. That all changed when she joined Clutch in October 2024, weighing 263 pounds. With renewed focus, Teresa committed to refining her technique and embracing a sustainable weight loss journey.

Fast forward to today: Teresa is down to 218 pounds and thriving. she’s training hard, attending 4–5 classes weekly and running three times a week to prepare for Hyrox in Mexico City. Her next milestone? Hitting 200 pounds by the end of the year.

“What made the difference? The Clutch City community.

“The support here is unreal,” Teresa shares. “From the coaches who fine-tune my form to the members who cheer me on every step of the way, Clutch has helped me stay accountable and motivated. It’s not just a gym—it’s a team.”

Whether it’s the energy of group classes, the encouragement from fellow athletes, or the structured programming that keeps her progressing, Clutch City Community Fitness has been a cornerstone of Teresa’s transformation.

Her story reminds us that progress isn’t always linear—but with consistency, community, and a clear goal, transformation is always possible.
