Amy Doyle
February 2020
When Amy Doyle isn't chasing after her two young boys, she's taking time to fit a workout into her daily routine. As a Registered Nurse, Amy knows the benefits of keeping physically healthy for her job, but also loves how her workouts are a time when she can focus on herself. When people ask how she stays so dedicated, she says it's not hard when her time at the CGC is her little break; it puts her in a positive mindset to tackle the day, and gives her an opportunity to socialize and get to know other members of the CGC community.
