#WCW // Monica Mange Johnson and Anna Kohanski Mason
This week’s Woman Crush Wednesday is all about camaraderie! Monica Mange Johnson and Anna Kohanski Mason are the dynamic duo behind Burnthis — an endlessly inspiring fitness app that I have the pleasure of working with. If you haven’t downloaded the app yet, GET IT NOW! I love it AND I am currently hosting a #MYEVOLUTION challenge on Burnthis that you can still enter in for a chance to win a $270 prize!* Read on to find out more about these two lovely ladies and how they balance work, life and fitness!
Introduce yourself: Monica Mange Johnson and Anna Kohanski Mason, co-founders of BurnThis.
Why did you create BurnThis: We are Monica and Anna, co-founders of BurnThis, a cutting-edge photo sharing social app that enables the world’s most inspiring community of fitness lovers to easily share and discover fitness journeys in order to motivate and inspire each other to live healthier lives. We have recently been referred to as the “pinstagram” for fitness. Download the app here. We both had a passion for fitness and community having both played competitive sports our entire lives. We remained obsessed with group fitness into our adult lives and wanted to create a social fitness tool that could be used by anyone, anywhere at any time of the day or night. That was how BurnThis was born.
What is one sentence of advice that you would give to a young lady starting out in your field: Its a ton of hard work and it won’t always be smooth sailing but if you persevere, love what you are doing, and take it day by day you will get through it and reap the rewards.
What does your weekly workout schedule look like: We have a pretty hectic work schedule but always squeeze in a workout each day no matter how small. We end up hitting the gym several times a week. Anna works with a personal trainer once a week and I try to go to at least one group class – one of my favorites is Angela Leigh’s class at the Equinox in Marina Del Rey.
What are your favorite healthy foods: We are both obsessed with Good Bites (goodbites.co) – they are raw, organic, gluten-free non GMO super food snacks that include chocolate truffles, blondies, and date cookies. They are the perfect post-workout treat because they hit the sweet tooth craving but still fall into the clean eating category.
Please share a favorite natural beauty remedy: Olive oil is a wonder product! It fixes dry skin patches, smooths out fine lines and is great for hands and feet.
What is the first thing you do when you wake up: We check the BurnThis app! Because we are west coast there are always a ton of amazing and inspiring fitness posts to inspire us each morning.
