#StrongWomanWednesday: Karley O'Malley

We would like you to meet Karly O’Malley!

Karly is a happily married 27 year old stay at home mom of two kids. They are 5 and 3. If you have been in the gym during the day, their cute faces have probably made you smile! She loves bringing them with her everyday because it helps to show them how important it is to take care of yourself.

This mommy of two has been going to our gym since she was in high school. Fitness means a lot to her because it keeps her mentally and physically well. The added bonus to Karly is that it helps her physical body stay healthy and capable of doing anything she she needs or to. It also means that she can have fun and keep up with her kiddos!

We asked Karly why Rock Island is her gym of choice,

“I love going to rock island because the staff and members that I see every time have become like another family to me. The facility is always clean, machines always functioning properly and I hardly ever run into people who aren’t willing to let me work my sets into their rotation if we need the same machine.”

“It takes a strong BOSS of a woman to work hard in the gym and at life,”

Thank you Karly for the kind words!

Last, we asked what she thinks makes a Strong Woman.

“Life can be hard, and I think it takes a strong BOSS of a woman to work hard in the gym and at life, no matter what battles she may be facing. It takes so much strength to pour yourself into marriage, motherhood and having a sense of self. That is why I love working out, because it helps keep me balanced and ready to do my best at everything I do.

To be a strong woman, for me, means being non judgmental, empowering to others and giving everything your all even on your really hard days!”

You really are one of the strongest and best woman we know Karly! Thanks for the interview!
