I was the only girl on a wall of 80 guys. They gave me a hard time at first until I showed them I was as good as them. I worked 11am-6am then my full time job 8am-5pm; I had two classes twice a week and I also did personal training on the weekends. That was a struggle but I did it - and loved it! Teamster's Union too!
