Laina Patry

I’ve been a health and fitness enthusiast for about 5 years. My passion is fueled by representing women of all ages, especially Filipina women, and encouraging them to embrace their own health journeys. My personal path reflects resilience and celebrating small wins each day. I am truly blessed to be able to move my body daily and honour what it allows me to do.

Now that I am over the age of 40, I've been absolutely loving strength training, especially when paired with HIIT to keep things challenging and dynamic. To train or stay fit doesn't always require structure or a fitness program! That said, nothing compares to a challenging hike with multiple elevation changes. I find it’s the perfect blend of strength, endurance, and mental resilience, plus the fresh air of the outdoors adds a feeling of being free.

With $20,000, my first priority would be paying off some existing debts for a sense of security. Alternately, I would invest in experiences that support a healthy, balanced life—such as wellness education, fitness, and meaningful time with loved ones. With longevity as my lifelong goal, living intentionally and in the moment while appreciating the little things is how I'm choosing to live life! I’m grateful every day!
