Fran would lifeguard a group of triathletes in college and shortly after graduating she knew she wanted to be a part of the endurance community. She found her passion for endurance sports after graduating college. With 4 Triathlons, 2 Marathons, 3 Half Marathons under her belt, she loves the getting lost in the hours and miles and connecting breathe to movement. Endurance training is her moving meditation.
Her life and athletic abilities changed drastically when she added yoga & strength to the mix of her training. Originally connected to the physical side of yoga (aka Yoga Sculpt), the spiritual and meditative side kept her coming back and exploring more. And, as an endurance athlete, yoga is the yin to her yang of endurance sports!
Fran is CorePower Yoga Sculpt Certified and 200-RYT Certified. Creating strength-based classes is a passion of hers; keeping athletes getting faster and stronger while staying healthy and mobile.
Her class philosophy? Come with an open heart and ready to make yourself a better version of yourself!
Mantra: You are your only limit so make the impossible, possible.

As I trained for the Rio Paralympics, EDGE was the perfect place for me to recover in between my grueling workouts so I could perform my best day after day. It all paid off when I earned a bronze medal in Rio! Whether it's for bike, run or strength training, recovering in a pair of recovery boots, drinking a cup of coffee or chatting with the members about their past and current races, it is one of my favorite places to go - EDGE Athlete Lounge has become my second home!
I use EDGE for both training and recovery… having the Woodway treadmills and a room to do weights and other-related strength exercises when I need them is very helpful and convenient. Without question, utilizing EDGE on a consistent basis has helped me stay injury-free. In fact, as someone who has a history of being injured, since joining EDGE, I have yet to experience a significant injury. I attribute that largely to having ready access to state of the art recovery tools that EDGE provides its members with.
I will be racing the Boston Marathon in April, a race in which I am targeting a sub-2:30. Bearing that Boston goes according to plan, I intend on attacking a 2:25 clocking at the 2017 Chicago Marathon! Furthermore, I am planning on breaking 15:00 in the 5K and 1:09 in the half-marathon
EDGE helped me fight my way to the title of North American Cycle Courier Champion in 2016 and I’ve got 2017 in the crosshairs. As a full time bike messenger and a professional cyclist, my schedule allows very little time to give my muscles a break. The amazing staff and facilities at EDGE have allowed me to give my body the much needed recovery it needs between rides and have helped me ride farther, ride harder, and ride stronger than ever before. Fresh legs TRULY bring FAST TIMES!
