Member Spotlight: Julia Katzenmeier

It is officially June! This means it is time for us to show a little special attention to one of our outstanding members… Julia Katzenmeier! Julia is the definition of consistent as it relates to her attendance and effort at Detour. Her progress and her fitness show the results of her dedication and effort in the gym. No matter what Julia has going on during her day, she makes it a priority to get to the gym. Whether she is working out at 5:00am, 5:30pm, or anywhere in between, you can expect to see Julia working out with a positive, upbeat attitude and a willingness to push herself outside of her comfort zone. We are so happy to have Julia as a staple in our Detour community and we hope you enjoy getting to learn a little more about her.
