RHYTHM Student Crosses the Finish Line in the Los Angeles Marathon

...and receives an unexpected invitation.


After 6-months of diligently training for the 2023 LA Marathon, RHYTHM International Fitness student, Melba Denise, also affectionately known as "MD" to her friends, managed to finish the Los Angeles Marathon for the third time with the support and encouragement of her teammates. 


Along with her recommended training program and workout routines needed to prepare for the 37 year old athletic event, MD noted that RHYTHM (RIF) classes were a big part of her training plan so that she could (and did)  "Keep the RHYTHM" throughout the marathon.  Here she's seen passing the finish line representing the 50+ demographic with a big smile happy to have reached the goal.


On her arrival to the finish line, Ms. Denise was surprised with a victory celebration from her Sister-in-law, Martha Rae Watson who is no stranger to athletic accomplishment.  Martha, who "qualified for four Olympics, 1964–1976 in the long jump...", was proud of MD’s accomplishment and invited her to the VIP Lounge where Melba shared the victory with friends.
