In our latest People of Reason feature, we’re proud to share the story of Vivian E.—a mom, a dedicated member, and someone who turned a health challenge into a catalyst for change. When Vivian was faced with pre-diabetes, fitness stopped being a hobby and became a non-negotiable part of her life.

But let’s be real—balancing work, family, and health is no small feat. For Vivian, carving out time for workouts is a team effort. With the support of her partner and the Reason community, she’s been able to stay consistent, accountable, and motivated.

Her approach? Adaptability and grace. Vivian knows fitness isn’t one-size-fits-all. Some days she’s pulling heavy deadlifts (her favorite), and other days, she’s easing back and listening to her body. It’s this mindset of showing up—even on the hard days—that keeps her moving forward.

More than anything, Vivian is setting an example for her kids. By including them in her fitness journey, she’s showing them the value of staying active and prioritizing health—lessons that will stick for a lifetime.

Vivian’s story is a reminder that we all have challenges, but with community support and a little determination, we can adapt, grow, and thrive.

Her journey will inspire you to embrace your own fitness path, find balance, and build a healthier future for you and your family.
