Today we’d like to introduce you to Mercedes Spencer.
Mercedes, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I always like everything about fitness, at the age of 34 in 2011 my first competition at Bikini fitness, I place 2nd, and I compete with a large group of beautiful young girls. for that competition and some more after that one, my husband Dino Spencer train me. He is the owner of The world famous 5thStGYm boxing, We have been open since 2010. He also trains me to be a boxing coach. I never imagine that fitness will be my passion, for me to learn about fitness and helping others is the best feeling ever.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Not a smooth road!! Some days I don’t even want to go for a walk or eat “right” but I learn that is ok to feel like that, that is ok to take a break and I can always start the next day. Somedays I want to be alone and not see any clients but I take a 30 min walk or 30 min swimming or listen to my favorite music for a few min, take a deep breath and go to do what I love, help others with their journey, and also struggle.
