In 2007, Caprice survived a serious car accident, which left her with a traumatic brain injury. She was unable to walk and had impaired cognitive abilities—to the point where she had difficulty following simple instructions. Thanks to the help of an extensive 5-month regimen of physical, speech and occupational therapy, Caprice was able to miraculously recover and attend high school. Not only did she reunite with her classmates, but Caprice joined her high school track team and quickly rose to stardom. She won every race and was named conference champion at each event. Sure, she had to wear a knee brace, but that didn’t stop her from doing what she loved! After getting back on her feet and returning to a ‘normal’ life, Caprice was unfortunately in another car accident, just three years later. This time, she was left with devastating injuries which would affect her for the rest of her life—grand mal seizures. In fact, in 2012 she suffered a seizure so severe that she was left with retrograde amnesia, leaving her with no memory of the first nineteen years of her life. Caprice woke up in a hospital, not knowing her name or the family that surrounded her. She was admitted into every major research and top-notch hospital in the country (Mayo Clinic, Christ, Loyola, Northwestern, UIC, etc.) and was eventually diagnosed with epilepsy. While all of this could have brought anyone down, without the drive to move forward, Caprice was instead fueled by her battle and decided to live by the mantra ‘stomp out every excuse’. In her eyes, there was no excuse to not stay healthy and fit, which always made her feel better, empowering her to focus her energy on what she could do, instead of being tied down by her circumstances. It made her feel unbreakable. Caprice became certified and opened the popular Excuse Free Fitness! With her gym, Caprice strives to provide her clients with a sense of hope and inspiration to never give up, no matter life’s circumstances.
