“My husband, Gary Helmick introduced me to functional fitness after the Open in 2012. Since then I have been hooked. What I love most about fitness is working out with awesome people and striving to reach new goals! I love to compete and be challenged with complicated skills and lifts. Fitness is now a regular part of my life and I love sharing the same passion with members at ReVamped Fitness.”
