Kim Salander has advice for anyone looking to get a jump-start on toning up or slimming down in 2019: Find a friend.

The manager of the Hillsboro Public Schools Fitness Center believes people with New Year’s resolutions to lose weight will have more success if they find a workout buddy.

“It helps if you have people around who are supporting you – whether that’s a friend or a buddy,” Salander said Wednesday. “It’s helpful to have someone keep you accountable. It’s easy to skip a night at the gym if there’s no one waiting there for you.”

Salander took over as the fitness center manager midway through 2018 but she has been a personal trainer for more than five years in Traill County.
