beats, barbells & becoming with Emma Graves
<p>#49: On today’s episode, we’re joined by Emma Graves, group fitness instructor, National Group Fitness Lead at Life Time and DJ bringing major energy to the Chicago fitness scene. We talk about what it’s really like to build a career in fitness, navigating pressure and comparison, finding confidence in your craft, and growing into the version of yourself you’re meant to be. Emma shares the BTS of teaching, the lessons fitness has taught her, and how she balances being multi-passionate without burning out. We get into music, gym culture, hot takes, and so so much more. Trust us, you will LOVE Emma. </p><p><br></p><p>Follow Emma: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/emmagravey/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">@emmagravey</a></p><p><br></p><p><em>Note: the thoughts & opinions I expressed are our own and not official of Life Time</em></p>
