Personal. Political. Powerhouse. Meet Lina Khalifeh from SheFighter!

By sisterfitdev | July 5, 2021

Words by Fatima Lee Garsi Photography by Keemya Parsa Meet Lina Khalifeh! I’ll always remember the first time Lina came into Sister Fit. When she saw me, her eyes widened in surprise.

    🚨 Member of the Month 🚨 Congrats 🥳 to As 🚨 Member of the Month 🚨

Congrats 🥳 to Ashley @ashleyquan for being a 🌟 and upping her game over the last couple of months!

We’ve caught up with this local celebrity for a quick interview:

What made you join Sister Fit?

✨ My bestie Kim, couldn’t stop singing songs of praise for Sister Fit and BEGGED me to just try a trial class with her. 

Joke was on me, because it became super clear why she loved the gym so much!

How old are you, how do you like to identify?

✨ I’m in my early-mid-late twenties (28) and I identify as a mixed chinese and white girly who is just trying her best to figure things out. 

But mostly, I identify as a dork. 

What would you say to help encourage another person to join our gym?

✨ It’s truly the best!

I’ve always left class feeling better than I did going in!

The people are kind, and it’s nice to be in a space where everyone is trying their hardest without it feeling intimating or daunting. 

Plus, you  kinda feel like a bit of a badass. 
 
What are some differences that you have noticed in your mental and physical health?

✨ It has done wonders for both my mental and physical health, tbh! I think everyone’s health was impacted by the pandemic - and in that way my experience is not a unique one.

I found that my body was aching trying to support some of my new (fun & fresh) pandemic weight, especially my knees.

I honestly have not noticed my knees bothering me at all since I started going to Muay Thai classes regularly! (I didn’t even realize it until a friend had mentioned I stopped whining about it!) Mentally, it does me so much good!

I often come in feeling pretty low and crummy, but I always leave feeling more energized, more accomplished, and in far better spirits! 

What's your favorite food?

✨ Wings. Steak. Anything my grandma makes. Fries. Maybe wings. Let’s go with wings. Hot & honey wings. Final answer. 
 
What's your favorite exercise?

✨ Punching combos. 

What do you do for your work?

✨ I’m in marketing! 

What are you passionate about? 

✨ Not being jerkface*
(*unless someone is a jerkface first, lol.)
I’m passionate about food, personal relationships, and progressive politics. 

WAY TO GO, ASHLEY!
