Trinity Rodman’s uncompromising drive officially became an obsession at a 24-Hour Fitness. She was a homeschooled high schooler at the time, a 16-year-old feeling “isolated” from peers. She’d fill spare afternoons with solo soccer training sessions at a nearby park, but still, she felt unfulfilled. “I gotta find a way to push myself,” she thought. So she turned to Mom, and began begging.
“Please, I'll do anything,” she remembers saying to her mother, Michelle. “Can I please get a 24-Hour Fitness membership?”
She knew that money had been tight for large chunks of her childhood.
