364 days ago I taught my first group fitness class at @lifetime.life. Teaching group fitness classes has been my passion for years, but being able to serve this club and these members is incredibly humbling and makes me thankful beyond words that I’m able to do what I love. Never in a million years did I think I would be here. Group fitness has changed me at my core (and not just my abs 😂). As a person. As a confident woman. As a leader and someone who wants to make a difference in even just one person’s life. ☺️

Today I had the largest group I’ve ever had in a class here. 40 members gave everything they had 😅, put up with mic issues 😱, and still laughed and “woo!-ed” their way through a tough 45 minutes in #Shred (formerly C9). I love this class, I love this club, I love everything about this job. On days when I think I can’t, this passion proves me wrong. And I love every minute of it. 🙏🏻

Sending a huge thank you to everyone who came to class today and those who I’ve had the pleasure of teaching this past year. I hope I have made even a slight difference in your life - and know that YOU make such a huge difference in mine. ❤️

Before this workout, before teaching this amazing class today, I was in a funk. Tomorrow is my birthday. I turn 31 and I have some serious mixed feelings about it. More so than last year and “the big 3-0.” This morning I got up at 3:45 to open at Starbucks after 4 hours of sleep (#gradschool #midterms). I was exhausted. Mentally, physically, my sleep debt is high, and my energy was low. I just wasn’t feeling it, but I put on my spandex and mic and got on that stage.
—
Somehow I found the energy to teach. Not only teach, but motivate, inspire, and push members AND myself through one of the hardest group fitness classes Life Time offers (#TCX #TotalConditioningXtreme). Caffeine and good music helped, sure, but because this is my passion, I was able to forget about my excuses and woes and just do it. And I loved it. Every minute. Even when I almost slipped off stage from my own sweat. 🤣 😅

This “job” continually reminds me why I love it so much. Working up a sweat with a group of the most amazing people you’ll ever meet... there’s nothing like it. There’s nothing like finding your purpose and being able to do the thing that lights you up the most on days when you’re feeling dark. Teaching. My passion. The thing I can count on 100% to bring me out of a funk.

What’s yours?

What’s the first thing you think of when you hear the word fit? 🤔
💪🏻 Do you think about muscles?
😅 About working out?
🏋🏼♂️ Lifting weights or running?
🤸🏼♂️ Being active?
Those are all obvious things that come to mind.

I challenge you to define what “being fit” means to you. So many people say they want to “be fit,” but what does that look like for YOU? Perhaps even redefine it to include actionable behavioral goals rather than just physique-oriented milestones. Maybe you want to be able to hold your 20lb child for longer than 10 minutes. Maybe you want to be able to climb the 3 flights of stairs in your office building that you’ve been avoiding because you get too winded. MAYBE being Fit has everything to do with CAPABILITY in real life and moving properly without pain such that you can accomplish what you want/need to do.

So, what does the word FIT mean to you?
