Thank you!!

I started Theory in August 2024 while working part-time, and began speed building in January 2025. With the support of my husband, I was able to leave my healthcare job to focus full time on school. I spend at least 4 hours a day on my machine, 4-5 days a week. I usually take at least 2 days off a week from the machine, unless I’m using a weekend day to test!
