Herndon Snap Fitness

6:45.Bird Chirps. Eyes Open. Get Dressed. Drive 180 seconds. Use a Fob. ARC trainer on. Today Show on. One more day of personal success. I have arrived at the Franklin Farm Snap Fitness. It’s the same folks, my 2011 version of the Breakfast Club all working on our personal goals of health, happiness and starting out our day on the right foot. As I stepped in here 2 months ago to speak with the owner, Schatem Boyd, I recall telling her I’d rather get my teeth pulled than be in a gym. The smell of sweat, the pressure of always feeling like I didn’t measure up to the people that surrounded me, the equipment. But I thought I would give it a shot one more time. Maybe this time would be different. WOW! How different it was! It’s clean. It’s friendly. It’s personal. It’s in my community. It’s real people coming together with a common health goal. Did I say it was clean? Did I say it’s the perfect fit for me? Maybe I wouldn’t rather be at the dentist. 7:45. I’m walking out with a fresh banana or apple provided by my friends at Snap Fitness Herndon. I will see you again tomorrow!
