Valentine's Day - Carlos & Janine

Carlos & Janine.

Being both active figures in the fitness industry (Carlos, the founder of Union Strength and Janine, an instructor at Tribe Boxing), a lot of time is spent on training and growing together. When two people are this committed to their fitness goals, there’s little doubt that their relationship is not equally as strong. We chatted with the power couple about their fitness motivations.

What do you guys enjoy most while working out together?

The best part about working out together is that it kills two birds with one stone - we both get to train and spend time with each other at the same time. It doesn’t get any better than that!

Who motivates who more during the workout?

We both agree that we motivate each other equally! When we have our bad days we like to pick each other up and push each other through the last few reps and sets.

Do you guys get competitive while working out and who is more competitive?

Janine: Yes, Carlos is for sure the more competitive one! We trained together once when he was really ill and he could hardly keep up. It still bothers him to this day. #GRLPWR

What is your favorite memory of working out together?

Easy! That would be the first time we ever worked out together. It was in Union Strength & we did a killer HIIT workout. What made it even more intense was that we REFUSED to take any breaks in between because we wanted to impress each other!
