We are so grateful for finding Roots and everything you do. It’s the one gym that I’ve come to where I not only like everybody that works there, but also everybody that goes there. It’s really motivating and makes it easier to come to the gym.

• Hometowns
  Anna is originally from Montville, New Jersey, and Alicia is from Southampton. Both currently live in Huntington.

​

• What Brought You to Roots?
  Alicia was an original Roots member before the pandemic. Afterward, when their daughters began playing softball together and attending clinics at the Athletic Center, Anna and Alicia found themselves spending time waiting on the sidelines. That’s when they decided to give cycling a try and they’ve been hooked ever since!

​

• What Do You Do Outside of Roots?
  Anna enjoys gardening and hiking in the woods, and they both love spending time at the beach.

​

• What’s One Goal You Have at Roots (or One You’ve Accomplished)?
  Their shared goal is to become healthier, stronger, and stay consistent. Having such a supportive community makes all the difference, it truly feels like a Roots family.

​

• Favorite Winter Activity
  Taking classes at Roots. They recently joined Lift X again to stay active and motivated throughout the winter and are loving it.

​

• Guilty Pleasure
  They both love to eat and sleep!

​

• Best Tip for New Members
  Try a variety of classes and instructors to find what works best for you, and keep showing up—even on the days when staying in bed feels tempting.
