About Us
Thanks for stopping by! We’re glad you are taking the time to explore Girlgetstrong.com.
My name is Melanie (aka Crazy Legs) and I have been friends with Sian (GoGo Girl) and Susan (Pink Panther) since our eldest children were all in kindergarten together. I hope I’m not dating myself too much here, but it has been a few years and 9 kids later (between the three of us) since we first met! That kindergarten year was the year we each decided it was time to reclaim a bit of “me” time to shred the weight and get in shape (and perhaps it was also an escape from the craziness of mommy life!).
At the beginning it was running that cemented the bond between us. Well, okay, a bit of running and a lot of wine, if we’re going to be perfectly honest here. I won’t get into how we started Girlgetstrong.com as you can read our original blog post, but suffice it to say that we’re discovering that there’s nothing like exposing your fitness life to the world to keep your heart rate up!
Follow our escapades as we jump headfirst, fall ass-backwards, and once in a while even get dragged along screaming bloody murder on our search for the newest and coolest workouts, gadgets and gear. Learn the latest fitness tips and tricks, what’s rave and what’s rip and what’s up next. Then get off your heiny and start some fitness adventures of your own – I promise you, it’ll be fun!
(And if it’s not, maybe a cool nickname would help ease the pain. Just don’t take ours. Please.)
Time to meet “the girls” of Girlgetstrong.com…
GoGo Girl - aka the lively, lovely and funny Sian D., who may be contacted at sian@girlgetstrong.com. She’ll undoubtedly get back to you after her gym and tonic.
.
Crazy Legs is the manic side of me, Melanie B, who - on a good day - might be described as irrepressibly compulsive and curious. What am I like on a bad day? There’s no such thing – every day is its own adventure!
.
Pink Panther is the alter ego of the divine and mysterious Susan B. She loves to be outside practicing yoga or running.
