Anna Simic, a junior from Louisville works as a physical trainer at the Preston Center. Simic says there's a physical activity for everyone. However, she says, "it's truly not about motivation, it's about dedication. Motivation is hard to come by. Like if you are constantly searching for a person, or a body image, or a quote to motivate you are going to be struggling to get to the gym...it can't do it for you sometimes. You still don't want to get out of bed."
