Dawn and Fyre won the NXT Women’s Tag Team Championship and the WWE Tag Team Championship, being the only team to win both. Dawn shared a photo of herself in the gym on Instagram. In it, she wore black workout clothes.
She Strength Trains
Dawn likes to lift weights to keep herself in shape. She talked about this in an interview withThe Mirror. "I do a lot of powerlifting training, I kickbox a lot and I like being strong. I don’t just want to be strong looking, I want to BE strong.” Strength training has a lot of health benefits. The Mayo Clinic states, “Your body fat percentage will increase over time if you don't do anything to replace the lean muscle you lose over time. Strength training can help you preserve and enhance your muscle mass at any age.”
She Kickboxes
Dawn also says in her Mirror interview that she likes to kickbox to stay in shape. Boxing workouts have a lot of benefits. The Cleveland Clinic says, “The conditioning exercises in fitness boxing classes also use a whole-body approach. You’ll tone muscles you never knew you had! The calories you burn during boxing can help you maintain or achieve a healthy weight.”
She's Comfortable With Herself
Dawn is all about being comfortable with herself. She tells Soundsphere that she wants to inspire others to have the same attitude. “I would like to think if I am kind of an example of… not even overcoming a lot of those things, but standing with whatever issues like body image, mental health and stuff like that. It’s being happy with who you are, and trying to work through things and always trying to evolve and heal and recover, and feel better.”
She's Motivated By Happiness
Dawn tells Soundsphere that her main motivation in life is happiness. “Success to me is happiness, 100%, I have been at points where I’ve been doing well and had a good income coming in, but I wasn’t happy, and that for me wasn’t being successful. I’m so happy and fulfilled in everything that I’m doing and that for me is a success, that for me is where I feel at my most successful because I’m thoroughly enjoying everything I’m doing.”
She's Consistent

Dawn makes sure to be consistent with her fitness. She tells Soundsphere that she made sure to workout when the COVID-19 lockdowns were happening. “I was just desperate to get back in the ring and desperate to train again. There had to be a lot of like forcing myself to be motivated when gyms were closed, and if they were shut, I was having to do workouts in my back garden, trying to motivate myself through that while like everyone in my house is like ‘I’m watching TV’ and I’m like, ‘I need to go out’.”
