Member of the Month – Danica Loring

At Black Bear Fitness Co., we celebrate the incredible transformations and inspiring stories of our community. This month, we’re thrilled to spotlight Danica Loring, a testament to resilience, growth, and the power of never giving up.

Meet Danica

Danica, 40, is a true warrior. When asked what her superpower is, her answer says it all: “I never give up.” But her journey wasn’t easy.

Before joining Black Bear Fitness Co., Danica tried nearly every fad diet and quick-fix plan out there. Like many of us, she was searching for something sustainable but found herself stuck in a cycle of disappointment. “Nothing worked,” she shared.

On a scale from 1 to 10, Danica rated her health and fitness level at 1 when she joined. “I was addicted to fast food and, by all definitions, a food addict,” she admitted. “I hid my eating, and my daily plans revolved around food.”

Why Black Bear Fitness Co.?

When it came time for a change, Danica knew she needed more than just a gym; she needed a community. “I wanted a team that was going to hold me accountable and push me harder than I would myself.”

What she found at BBFC was much more than that. “It’s a family,” she explained. “I walk through the door and am immediately excited to see familiar faces and friends.”

Danica’s Transformation

Since joining BBFC, Danica’s transformation has been incredible—not just physically, but emotionally and mentally. Her confidence has soared. “I went from someone who wore sweatshirts and stretchy pants to shorts and a T-shirt.”

But it’s not just about the clothes or the workouts. For Danica, it’s about how she feels when she leaves BBFC every day: “The way I feel keeps me coming back.”

Words of Wisdom

To anyone who feels like they’re not “fit” enough to start their journey, Danica has this to say:
“It’s not about being fit. It’s about becoming the best version of yourself with the most incredible support team rooting for you.”

Danica, thank you for being such an integral part of the BBFC family. Your story inspires us all to show up, push forward, and never give up.
