“Peak has become my home. The environment, community and vibes there are like no other and I love that we are always striving to make everything even better,” she said. “During WZA, it’s really cool to see the gym full of people from all over the world. The programming is very challenging but really it just makes you do things you didn’t think were possible.”
Plus, Gonzales said “if you’re a dog lover (I may be a little biased), hang around and you might get to see the best pups.”
