Kevin and Julie Frye
Tell us a little about yourself?
“Our names are Kevin and Julie Frye. We've been married for 21 years and have two children, Emma 19 and Noah 14. In the early days Kevin flew for the US Navy and fought in Desert Storm. He currently works as the E-Commerce Director at Jeff Wyler Automotive. Julie played college soccer in Florida and at The Ohio State University. She currently is an instructor in the ESOL program (English as a Second Language) at Great Oaks. We both love to work out and stay fit.
What led you to join MAC?
We joined MAC several years ago because of the locality; we love that it's only minutes from our house. We enjoy all the classes that MAC has to offer. We also appreciate the fact that MAC is constantly updating equipment and trying hard to keep the place nice for its members. They also have a wonderful swim lessons program in which our daughter is one of the instructors.
Do you have a personal fitness success story to share?
We both enjoy running and Kevin likes lifting. Julie has run three full marathons while the both of us have done many half marathons. Last year we did our first mud race and had so much fun that we signed up for our first Tough Mudder this spring. I think our personal fitness success story is when we won the Milford Adventure Challenge last September. This unique urban adventure race consists of running, biking, challenging obstacles, while finishing up the race in a tube on the Little Miami River. We had a great time and plan to defend our title this year.
What advice would you give to someone who is beginning their exercise program?
I know it sounds like a cliché but start off slow and don't give up! Many people go all out the first month or so and quickly burn themselves out. Start off slow with a simple routine and stick with it. Change things up so you don't get bored, try a new class like spinning or yoga.
