How Garmin Helped Kelly & Elijah Level Up Their Wellness
If you’ve been following along on our socials, you might remember Kelly and Elijah - our lucky giveaway winners who each scored a brand-new Garmin smartwatch. But their story didn’t end with the prize. As passionate fitness lovers, they’ve been putting their Garmins to the test - and the results have been inspiring.
We caught up with them to hear how their smartwatches have become more than just fitness trackers - they’ve become daily wellness companions.
Q: Kelly, what feature of your Garmin Venu® 3S has made the biggest difference in your training?
A: “Zone Training, hands down,” Kelly told us. “It’s like having a personal coach on my wrist.” This feature uses your heart rate to tailor workouts to your goals - whether that’s burning fat, building endurance, or pushing your limits with high-intensity intervals. For Kelly, it’s been a game-changer in training smarter, not just harder.
Q: Elijah, how does your Forerunner® 165 keep you motivated day-to-day?
A: “I love how it tracks everything - steps, heart rate, calories - and shows me how I’m doing over time,” Elijah said. With passive tracking and easy-to-read trends, Elijah can check in on his progress anytime. “Seeing how I did yesterday or last week keeps me motivated to keep moving.”
Q: Beyond fitness, how has your Garmin helped with your overall wellbeing?
For Kelly, it’s all about balance. “I use Body Battery every day - it tells me when I’ve got the energy to push myself and when I need to rest. It’s helped me listen to my body more.”
Elijah agrees. “Tracking my sleep and stress has helped me make small changes that really add up. I’m sleeping better and feeling more in control of my day.”
Q: Elijah, was it easy to get started with your Forerunner?
A: “Super easy,” he said. “Even if you’re new to Garmin, the setup is simple. Just download the Garmin Connect app, pair your watch, and you’re good to go.”
Q: Final thoughts - how has your Garmin changed your approach to health?
Both Kelly and Elijah said the same thing: their smartwatches help them stay accountable, track progress, and feel more connected to their health - physically and mentally. From steps to stress, sleep to heart rate, their Garmins have become trusted tools in their wellness journeys.
Whether you’re just starting out, getting back into a routine, or chasing a new personal best, a Garmin smartwatch can help you stay on track, stay motivated, and feel your best - every step of the way.
