GRAND FORKS, N.D. – Sometimes, a tinge of competition seeps into the physical fitness activities that Lee Rerick and her husband, Randy Syverson, love to do together.

“We might do a little bit of friendly ribbing,” she said.

But mostly, mutual support of each other’s fitness goals keeps them going, and any competitiveness only spurs a desire to boost personal performance, she said.

The couple regularly workout at Choice Health & Fitness, where they take a variety of classes including Spinning and weight-training.

Mutual support is “pretty important” to sticking with their exercise routine, she said.

“If one person doesn’t feel like going (to the gym), the other does. We encourage each other.”  Read more.
