Based out of Nashville, Metz is working closely with a personal trainer who is on a weight-loss journey, too. “We have things in common where it’s not just like, ‘Why are you doing this?’ Like, I don’t want to be yelled at. I want to be lovingly supported in whatever it is that I’m doing,” she revealed, highlighting the supportive dynamic of their workouts.
For the Florida native, she wants to live for as long as she could, adding that she took a deeply psychological approach to her health journey.
"I’m literally doing it because I am nervous about aging, about osteoporosis or arthritis, you know, and because they are now discovering so much about health overall," she said.
