Our clients are continuing to do great things in and around Detroit. Each month this year we will be highlighting a new client.
Christine is a high energy, hardworking, mom of 2 that gets as much out of each day that she can. Finding a way to squeeze in a few workouts and focus on healthy habits has not come easy. With a strong dedication to make it a permanent lifestyle change, Christine has stayed consistent these past 12 months!
Here is a bit about her story...
"In late 2020 I went through multiple health and personal challenges. After finishing cancer treatment and getting the all clear from my physicians about a year ago - I was ready to start taking better care of myself. A close friend of mine introduced me to PT in the D, and I am so thankful, as my workouts have been an incredible part of my wellness journey.
I have worked in economic development for 27 years, the last 20 with the Michigan Economic Development Corporation. I’ve been so lucky in my career to be able to work with business and community leaders in Detroit to help remove barriers to growth and investment, ultimately leading to jobs for the city. Our team from the state works closely with the mayor’s office, Detroit Economic Growth Corporation, Wayne County, foundations and the private sector – identifying opportunities, bringing together partners, and getting things done.
Since October 2020, we’ve invested in over 40 projects within the city of Detroit. Some are big manufacturing projects, like Dakkota Integrated Systems new plant on the city’s eastside – and some are smaller investments like helping a company with an export strategy. All of the activities feed into reaching the goal of growing the number of good jobs in the city for Detroiters.
So, work is pretty stressful – leading a large team statewide with all of the pressures that come with it. My workouts with Robert are something I look forward to – I always feel better afterward and know I’m making progress toward my ultimate goal – living a long and healthy life with my two girls, husband, and my great friends and family."
