Getting to know Hilary Ryan-McCarthy:

Who is the most influential person/people in your life?
Two and a half years ago I traumatically dislocated my knee on the court and I was off the court for six weeks. When I came back I wasn't moving that well, but now with CATZ I feel like I'm actually better than I was before.

WHAT IS IT ABOUT CATZ THAT MAKES YOU KEEP COMING BACK?
It's never the same workout twice. With other gyms, doing the treadmill or bike is mundane but CATZ, especially with the coaches here, it's always interesting.

ANYTHING ELSE?
CATZ has taught me that I should never think I'm "too busy" to workout. I've seen the benefits of intense, consistent training. And, when I come to CATZ, I have more energy later that day which makes me more productive at my job.
