At times, it seems like everyone is chillin’ in bed with Netflix and a takeout bowl of Chipotle. Its those days when motivating myself to get to the gym is the hardest. That’s why I sat down with Reagan Consalo, Penn State Junior and my fitness role model, to get her tips.

Reagan is currently studying in the MACC program to receive a masters of accounting degree that requires her to stay an extra year at school. Needless to say, the girls got brains— and a workload heavier than I can ever fathom. She is also the treasurer of her sorority, an organization that also provides her with the dream college social life. Despite her busy schedule, Reagan is one of most dedicated girls to her health and fitness routine that I have ever met.

So, here ya go, meet the amazing Reagan:

| What is your typical workout routine? |

RC: I try to go to my fitness studio four or five times a week. I’m obsessed with this class Body Pump, which I go to two times a week, or three on a good week. Then I’ll go to Body Attack or Body Combat the other days. Body Pump is strength training and the others are cardio. The classes are run by a company called LES MILLS.

| How and when did you discover these classes? | 

RC: I don’t know how and I don’t know why but it was definitely at the Y in Berwyn [my hometown gym]. I probably just saw the schedule. I started taking the classes my junior year of high school because I started noticing that I couldn’t eat whatever I want and not work out anymore. Once I discovered Body Bump I had to keep up with it in college if I didn’t want to gain the freshman 15 because it’s the key to staying in shape, I swear. I googled everywhere for Body Pump in State College and I found this one place that was really far and expensive and then I found FITOLOGY and I thought I could walk there, but it ended up being a really far walk— but I still love it there. I took a cab four times a week freshman and sophomore year and now I have a car here so I can drive there, and it’s awesome.

| What is your diet like? |

No meat no cheese. Well yeah, I eat pokies sometimes, but in my everyday life I try to stick to the no cheese. Breakfast is fruit (banana or apple), because that’s what Skinny Bitch tells me to do. I try to follow Skinny Bitch to the heart. Skinny Bitch is basically my bible, but sometimes I can’t exactly stick to it. Anyway, for lunch I eat salad and then at dinner I’ll eat a carb.

| How do you think a devoted fitness routine has impacted your college experience? |

I pretty much maintained my weight that I’ve been since high school all thanks to FITOLOGY. When I leave the studio I want to stay for the next class; like, when they start putting on the music for the next class I’m like, “I wish I could say for the next class, I wish I had time for this.” For me, sticking to my workout routine is just fun.

| What is your advice to a college student looking to stay in shape? |

I think to just find a way to workout that you love, and make sure you have variety. For me, I take Body Pump, Body Attack, Body Combat…. they’re all so different.
