Skye working on her deadlift
Upower now offers classes at Interagency Academy’s Queen Anne location – a school specifically for teens in recovery from alcohol and drug abuse. These students are already familiar with our program, as they’ve going to Upower classes at IA in Columbia City. We asked them to share a little on what they like about Upower…
Chris: “I like how Upower puts the emphasis on fitness, motivates us, encourages us to keep active, and makes it fun.”
Skye: “I like how we talk about eating healthy and drinking water. And how you focus on technique – and not just let us go lift weights – so we do everything correctly.”
Seth: “I like that it’s short and fun and it creates a great workout. We also get to set our own limits.”
Ryan: “I like the high energy because I’m a really hyper person. So it’s a good way to dispel that and to keep it in a calm, contained area.”
Storm: “I like how sore I am after a workout and that I’ve done something productive.”
Nicole: “I like that we get to try new things. I feel like it’s always a challenge but it’s also a low risk environment. So it’s okay, we can just try something new. And if we don’t do it perfectly right the first time, it’s not a failure, so it’s a good place to try new things.”
