Checking In at the Gym

This conversation aims to check in with Winnie Akrong, a beginner in her fitness journey, and others like her. Coming out of the pandemic, so many people across all races and ages have fluctuated in weight. As the world is opening up, these same people are committed to being proud of their bodies and feeling confident in their skin. For Winnie, this meant going to the gym. She spoke with me on the ups and downs of working out, minimal awareness of the fitness center on campus, and how bettering her physical affects her mental. From this conversation, I hope listeners can relate to Akrong on many different levels who is simply trying to look good for herself!
