The Davis Family, Greg, Amy, Paige, and Hailey, of Connecticut, is the perfect example of a family continually pushing the limits, embracing new challenges, and recruiting others to commit to fit! They are ATHLETES, in every sense of the word. The Davis’ work out together, doing everything under the sun, and doing it well!) From CrossFit to National-level soccer, Russian kettle bells to medicine balls, goal-setting to personal bests, the Davis' excel in fitness. Most importantly, they do it together, making healthy cooking and working out together favorite and regular family events. They use their strengths to help and inspire others. As Greg Davis says, “nothing is more satisfying than seeing the change that can be made in this world when it comes to helping people enjoy a healthy lifestyle, live longer and enjoy the freedoms that come with good fitness.” We couldn’t have said it better ourselves!
Our other runner-up family, currently packing their bags for a move from Maine to Missouri, where they have already scouted out local triathlons, the Scholers made a difference in their community by pushing and teaching healthy living. Colleen, valued Macaroni Kid Publisher mom of three, looks back to the 80’s, when she’d spend quality time with her mom and sister doing Jane Fonda’s workout videos! Colleen explains that her and her husband, Aaron aim to instill in their family “a love of fitness that is incorporated into everyday life. A life where fitness and play merge.” The Scholer’s three adorable kids portray exactly that; a natural drive for exercise, play, exploration, and incorporating it all into family fun. As Colleen says:
"Why shouldn't getting exercise be fun?” AMEN!
