“What lies behind us, and what lies before us, are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” Ralph Waldo Emerson

How do we recognize our power?

Summer is beautiful for so many reasons. Laughter with friends, long summer nights and walks after dinner, ice cream and cocktails and a different hum. But, like clockwork, right around now I usually start craving routine.

It is my single greatest passion and purpose to help others live healthier lives - through not only great fitness content, amazing food inspiration through recipes, mindfulness prompts (I do them in classes all the time) and most importantly education.

After a quarter of a century and counting of fitness, I went to my 23rd fitness conference this weekend. There was a lot of talk about the magic weight loss drugs and exercise and the role of the gym in helping people who struggle with obesity; there was a ton of talk about VO2 Max and how strength training is dominating the world of fitness. HIIT is still important (and why it will always be part of our program) Active aging and mobility are the stars of the moment.

In other words....FITFAM, you are in the right place.

I ask that you open your mind to expanding what you get from this program - it isn't simply fitness content and live classes; it is a community that you can be part of, and grow with.

In September, we are having a wonderful 66-day program of Habit Growth - it will kick off on the first day of Fall September 21st, and will go through to the end of November. You will have time to commit to developing your VO2 Max, following a healthy, anti-inflammatory diet, and learning new techniques.

This week, we have a shortened week as I am going to a cottage (FINALLY) with my kids on Friday until Tuesday. But, we will also have MORE classes.- with a Thursday 930 AM spin on the schedule!
