BFP Hampstead Family Member Of The Month: Maria Rini

Let me introduce you to BFP's semi-private client of the month, Maria Rini!

Maria has been a member since January of this year. During that time she has achieved gains in
strength and muscle, as well as progressing her deadlift and bench press quite impressively and
without injury. Although she's always enjoyed sports, Breakaway is her first experience using
strength equipment like barbells, kettlebells, and dumbbells.

Maria checks in to each session, ready to listen to the coaching, get out her equipment, and do
the work. Her strength, quiet demeanor, and attentiveness to her form make her fun to coach.
She will always accept the challenge of a heavier weight for a lift or carry, and her gym mates
can't help but notice how strong she's gotten over the past few months.

A fun fact about Maria: She was born in Argentina and came to the United States when she was
11. At the time she did not know any English. She went to a Catholic school without resources
for ESL education, which for many of us would be difficult or scary; however, Maria remembers
other students and staff at the school being very helpful in wanting her to succeed.

I noticed that Maria "pays it forward" in her sessions at Breakaway. While Maria works hard on her goals, she
stands alongside other people in the session - never pulling too far ahead so that no one ever
feels like they're falling behind.

Thank you Maria for being part of Breakaway's Semi-Private Program. We appreciate you!
