THEIR STORY

Corrie Lehmann and Hillary Calhoun met long before fitness became the glue of their relationship. Growing up in two small neighboring towns known for a fierce sports rivalry, Corrie Lehmann and Hillary Calhoun first crossed paths in high school, Hillary on the basketball court, and Corrie as a cheerleader for the rivaling team. While technically on opposing sides, the two now know they were clearly meant to end up on the same team. They have now been together for six years, sharing life with two dogs, Benny and Lloyd, and a cat named Loki.

PATHS TO FITNESS

Hillary’s connection to fitness started early. A lifelong athlete and former college basketball player, she grew up loving competition and challenge. Today, her focus has shifted toward long-term health and staying active, but her drive remains. While Corrie cheered throughout high school, it wasn’t until joining Orangetheory Fitness in 2022 that health and wellness truly clicked in her adulthood. She learned how to work out, built confidence, and fell in love with the process. Within months, she joined the Orangetheory staff, where she still works today.

STRENGTHS & ACCOMPLISHMENTS

For Corrie and Hillary, most days include Orangetheory workouts or runs, balanced by slower, grounding activities like pickleball, walks at Shelby Farms, trips to the zoo, or evenings strolling with their dogs. Hillary’s dedication pushes Corrie to keep showing up for herself, while Corrie’s consistency grounds Hillary and makes wellness feel effortless. Hillary admires Corrie’s grit and tenacity, and her refusal to quit when things get tough. Corrie credits Hillary’s resilient mindset and focus as strengths that elevate their training and partnership.

Corrie is most proud of building consistency, going from unsure in the gym to making fitness a daily habit. Hillary treasures her athletic roots, including induction into her high school Sports Hall of Fame, and recently completed the United Airlines NYC Half Marathon, racing through iconic landmarks like the Brooklyn Bridge and Times Square.

GOALS & ADVICE

Corrie and Hillary have found their partnership and ability to lean on one another immensely important for achieving their goals. When one person falters, the other becomes their anchor. “Wellness isn’t a solo sprint; it’s a relay,” they say. Looking ahead, Corrie and Hillary plan to maintain their routines while training together for a women’s doubles HYROX competition.
