I can honestly say that my success is primarily thanks to the support of Get Healthy Now, and especially the wellness coaching program. It has given me the mental support and encouragement I’ve needed, which has boosted my confidence throughout this past year tremendously!

Meet Judy Cowgill, who worked at the U of L for over 40 years!
When she is not cheering on the Cards, she enjoys knitting, sewing, gardening, reading, visiting grandchildren, and traveling.
Judy has been working out 2-3 times a week for the last 14 years, with a goal of maintaining a 60 minute workout schedule. Her favorite GHN offering is the “friendly and helpful staff!” Besides exercise, she stays healthy by eating more fresh fruits and vegetables each day, while drinking more water and less caffeine. She has even cut out fried foods from her diet. Her goal each month is to increase the weight and reps on the machines. “So far, I have been reaching my goals since I joined over a year ago,” she said.
Being active is also helping Judy overcome a recent diagnosis of Osteoporosis. “I feel better both mentally and physically when I work out,” she said, “I know I need to keep my bones strong, so coming to the Wellness Center and working out will keep me healthy for many years!”
Judy’s best advice to anyone considering working out or thinking healthy is understanding that it’s never too late to make a change. “I did not start working out until I was in my mid-50’s. It was the best decision I ever made.” She continued, “you will not regret it!”
