Coach Laura’s Take:
“Nubia is such a positive person to have at the gym! She is very coachable and is eager to improve. I love how Nubia jumped in with both feet when she got started and has stayed consistent in her attendance and has continued to work diligently in class. She has come up to me a few times and said “how can I get better?” That is the right attitude to have and I am excited to see how she will improve.”
