I joined Follow My Steps because I wanted more discipline in my life. It helped me take things more seriously. In the beginning, when we were slacking off during workouts, FMS stepped in and made it clear that how we show up matters — not just for fitness, but for life. They reminded us that the same mindset could carry over into our future careers, and that in the real world, you could lose a job for slacking. That really motivated me to step up.
​
I’ve had nothing but a great experience with FMS. Every day I’m learning something new, trying new things, and stepping out of my comfort zone. One of my favorite experiences was going to the Red Sox game. Even though I don’t know much about baseball, being surrounded by a positive community made it so much better.
​
Since joining the program, I’ve become more outgoing and more willing to take on new challenges. The FMS team believed in me, and that gave me the confidence to grow into a better version of myself.
​
My mentor feels like an extension of my family. I have a complicated relationship with my own family, but my mentor truly believes in me and constantly encourages me to explore new things and keep moving forward.
​
I definitely recommend Follow My Steps to others. It gives you life-changing experiences, teaches you new skills, and surrounds you with a supportive community. It’s been amazing — I’ve never had a bad experience, and it’s helped shape the person I am today
