MEET our T3 May ATHLETE of the MONTH, Autumn Reichelt!

Autumn, a colleague of Coach Kevin, has spent the past three years immersed in the stories, successes, and inspiration of the T3 community. Her curiosity and admiration gradually turned into action — she asked questions, explored the journey, and ultimately joined T3 herself.

This season, Autumn has taken her commitment to a new level, embracing a more active lifestyle with consistency, purpose, and enthusiasm. She’s leaned into new challenges, added variety to her training, and continues to hit breakthrough after breakthrough — whether it's a new PR, a longer distance, or simply trying something she never thought she could do.

Her energy is absolutely infectious. Autumn isn’t chasing podiums — she’s building a lifestyle rooted in health, happiness, and long-term sustainability. As Coach Kevin puts it:
"Seeing Autumn arrive at work with a huge smile and say, 'Did you see how my run went last night?' brings me so much joy as her coach. She’s created habits that will follow her for life in the most positive way."

Way to go, Autumn — we’re proud to be part of your journey! Keep shining!

Q:  Do you have any secret training tips? (Not really secret if you share, huh?)

Q:  Any thoughts you want to share?

A:   If you're thinking about joining T3, DO IT! I never thought I would be able to do half the things I am able to do until I got my training. Also spin class is the best!!
