July 2024 Athlete of the Month

We are beyond excited to announce our July 2024 AOM is… Cass Cabello! 

Cass joined us just 6 months ago but it honestly feels like she has been a staple in our community for much longer. She has quickly made strides in her fitness journey and is walking proof that starting is the hardest part, things can only go up from there. Cass works so hard in each and every class she takes. She has chosen to consistently challenge herself and because of that we have seen tremendous growth. Cass knows that this process isn’t easy, that we can’t expect it to be easy, but she has also proven that consistency compounds and can bring results! We are so proud to get to call Cass a part of our community and are so excited to share how great of a role model she is with the community. Keep doing you Cass- you’re crushing it! 

TW: Where are you from?

Cass: Cambridge

TW: What do you do for work?

Cass: I am an esthetician specializing in all things brows and makeup. I own a little studio in Belmont. 

TW: How long have you been at Tradewinds? 

Cass: I have been at Tradewinds for 6 months

TW: What motivated you to try Tradewinds? 

Cass: I wanted to get in shape and also get to know people in my community. I would drive by the gym everyday and felt so intimidated and finally just built the courage to sign up for a class online. Best decision I’ve made. 

TW: What group class do you usually attend? 

Cass: I usually take the 7am or 8:15am, once in a while I’ll pop into the 11:30am class. 

TW: Did you have a fitness background prior to starting at Tradewinds? 

Cass: No! I’ve been to a gym here and there, but was never consistent and didn’t know what I was doing. I never enjoyed working out until now.

TW: If you could program your dream WOD, what would it be? 

Cass: Anything that involves lifting and glute workouts. I love working with the barbell.

TW: What is your proudest accomplishment since joining Tradewinds? 

Cass: Being consistent and being able to push myself to get those sets in.  

TW: How has Tradewinds helped you in your everyday life? 

Cass: It has helped me physically and mentally. Getting my workout accomplished in the morning has been setting my day up for success. I have more energy to do my job, I feel less stressed and happy and it’s helped me learn that eating more isn’t bad (protein, protein, protein)! 

TW: What do you like to do outside the gym? 

Cass: I love to go to the beach, travel and binge watch reality TV haha

TW: What is your favorite song to workout to? 

Cass: Anything that’s Spanish dance/reggaeton

TW: What’s one thing you’d tell someone who is curious about trying Tradewinds but not sure if they could do it?

Cass: Just go for It! It doesn’t hurt to try something new and you’ll be surprised at how fast you’ll love It! It’s such a welcoming environment for any fitness level.

AOM Closing Thoughts: 

To say Tradewinds has changed my life is an understatement. Each coach has gone out of their way to help me with my fitness goals as well as nutrition. I’ve learned to be more patient and that things don’t happen overnight, you have to put the work in and stay consistent. I have lost weight, gained muscle and got my confidence back! I was never someone who ever liked working out and now I look forward to it and became an inspiration for my sister to also join. The community here is something I am so happy and proud to be a part of.
