Congratulations Perri! You are definitely a superhero!

Team Mo and I chose our SUPER HERO OF THE MONTH based on several important factors that we believe reflect the values on which the Mo-Mentum Fitness world-class culture has been built upon. 

Mo-Mentum’s Core Values include:

  • Mindset for Growth, constant never ending learning….if you’re not growing you’re shrinking
  • Over deliver on all we do
  • Tribe we all need an incredible tribe!We are the average of the five people we spend the most time with.
  • TransparencyWe believe in honesty and being transparent
  • Vitality- we believe in living vibrantly and all out

Perri Pendelton is a bright light at Mo-Mentum Fitness.  She always has a smile on her face. Perri works hard on her health and fitness, she attends her group fitness classes almost daily because she understands the value of consistency for creating and maintaining health, fitness and overall vibrancy.  Like many of us, Perri has many responsibilities, which can often become reasons to miss group fitness classes. However, she chooses to get to her group fitness classes as consistently as possible because her vision for her life is bigger than her excuses.  

Perri values being a part of a vibrant tribe of like minded people.  She enjoys the energy and she participates in raising the energy. She welcomes our new members with her bright smile and friendly demeanor and she becomes friends with everyone she talks to.

If you are new to Mo-Mentum Fitness or workout in the evenings and haven’t met Perri yet, you will know her by her bright smile and her vibrant energy!  

Perri, You are a true Super Hero! Thank you for being an inspiration!

Q & A

Meet Perri, Mo-Mentum Fitness’s Superhero of  February 2019! She definitely is a superhero!

 

Describe what your life (and your health) was like before fitness

“I’ve always tried to stay fairly active. If I don’t do some form of exercise several times a week, I get cranky. I try and stay active so that I can set an example for my husband and daughter that exercises is not something you do to lose weight, it’s something you do your entire life so that you have a better quality of life.”

Was there ever a low point or an experience that made your priorities change

“Not really.”

How did fitness come into your life (or back into your life)?

“I was working out at another gym for several years, but the focus on fitness wasn’t there anymore. I was happy to join Momentum. I feel that the staff at Momentum has upped the ante for me, so to speak.”

What kind of results have you seen since starting a regular fitness program?

Since being at Momentum, I have gotten much stronger. I remember when I first started, I used a set of old 6 pound weights and thought they were heavy! Then one of the gals scolded me and told me that I needed to increase my weight, and that I wasn’t allowed to use them anymore. Now I do about twice the amount and I definitely notice that my bingo arms are not as bad as they used to be. Also, when I went snowboarding over New Years, I noticed I wasn’t as winded as I was the year before.”

Why do you make fitness a priority in your life?

I believe that I will probably live into my 80’s, and I want to have a good quality of life. I want to still be able to travel, ski and enjoy life in my later years. Also, I want to be able to do things with my grandchildren, should I be lucky enough to have them!”

These days what makes you truly happy and feel at peace?

I’m happy when my family and friends are happy and healthy.”

How do you feel compared to 1 year ago?

I would say about the same :)”

SPECIFICS? JOB? AGE? CHILDREN?

“I’m 55 and am a mom to a 15 year old daughter. My husband and I have been married for 18 years. I’m  President of a non-profit organization called Women of the Wells. We build wells in under-developed countries around the world. “
