All About FiA | Females in Action!

FiA Nation Board

The FiA momentum is so great that it operates with no "leader" in the traditional sense. FiA is led by women who show up and contribute to its success and growth – as well as their own.

Origin of FiA Name: I am a bit of a wine connoisseur. I have visited over 400 wineries in my life, and I will never turn down a good red wine such as Cabernet or Zinfandel!

My favorite thing about FiA: I love witnessing the transformation of my FiA sisters as they strengthen themselves every day in all aspects of their lives, often conquering new challenges they never thought that they could do. Watching the happiness and joy that FiA brings to my FiA sisters warms my heart. #StrongerTogether #BetterTogether

Favorite exercise or routine: The Kraken!

What you’re known for in your region: A good hard beatdown filled with tons of ‘compliments’ from the PAX

Papyrus, Gear

Papyrus is your go-to for gear. She will contact you about putting together and approving your regional logo, ordering FiA shirts and sharing ideas on other FiA gear that could be great for the entire nation. Remember, the logo can only be reproduced with approval from FiA Gear and all gear proceeds go to fund more expansion!

Origin of FiA Name: I majored in Paper Science and Engineering in college, and I work at a paper mill. I love paper!

My favorite thing about FiA: I love and cherish the community built within the region. I tried the gym in the past, but the community aspect wasn't there. FiAs encourage each other to push a little harder and better themselves in all aspects of life.

Favorite exercise or routine: Raggedy Ann’s and V-Ups

What you’re known for in your region: Consistency – Prior to having kids and while I was an RL, I was at every workout as long as I was in town. If I am out of town, I will find a local FiA PAX to workout with as well. Now, I have my designated days, and I rarely miss those days.

Nomad, RL Connect

Nomad acts as a Regional Leader liaison. She works to build relationships among the Regional Leaders, to share best practices and help regional leaders where need-be. She has occasional check in's to see how things are going and is the point person when transferring Regional Leader duties.

Origin of FiA Name: One of my favorite things to do with my family is take spontaneous trips to explore new places. I don't need an itinerary just a rough idea of what I want to see. We often travel light with just a backpack so we can pack in as much as we can in as little time as possible. Our family goal is to visit all 50 states together and hit as many National Parks and baseball stadiums as we can along the way.

My favorite thing about FiA: I love the community. The fact that I get to workout and spend time with others in all different seasons and walks of life is my favorite. I love the friendships FiA has fostered in my life.

Favorite exercise or routine: Glute Bridges & B.O.M.B.S

What you're known for in your region: I was the first RL to launch a region in California.

Nurse Ratchet, Expansion

Nurse Ratchet is your go-to person if you have someone you know that wants to expand to a new area that is beyond the reasonable reach of an existing region. Wonder Woman and the Expansion Team will be there every step of the way to get your new region established and launched.

Origin of FiA Name: Nurse Ratchet is a pediatric nurse practitioner! Her PAX was set on coming up with a “celebrity nurse” name. The first suggestion was slightly inappropriate (ekk!). Nurse Ratchet was dropped and it stuck! If you’ve ever seen the movie, just know this could not be farther from the truth about our Nurse Ratchet!

My favorite thing about FiA: The Friendships that I Never Knew I Needed!

Favorite exercise or routine: Almost Anything CARDIO!

What you’re known for in your region: Always Showing Up Consistently.

Pepsi, Treasurer

Pepsi makes sure that gear income is accounted for so that there is money to take FiA to new regions. Pepsi is the go-to for reimbursements when Q's help to launch a new region.

Origin of FiA Name: My name is Pepsi because I used to work for Coke. Now I work for Krispy Kreme and keep getting jokes that we need to change my name to Dunkin.

My Favorite thing about FiA: The Friendships!

Favorite exercise or routine: The old days when Jerribou was a ring run.

What you're known for in your region: Ask me to run a race with ridiculous mileage and I will always say yes.
