Prior to her first workout with Farmersville ISD strength and conditioning coach Adrian Briones in the middle of June, Brittany Torres hadn’t worked out in 10 years.
Torres, who is the district registrar and has been working for Farmersville ISD since February 2021, received an email from Briones about the workouts a few months ago.
