WOW 🤯 7 years ago I said YES to the most amazing opportunity!! 🥹
For my 40th birthday, I took a massive leap of faith, taking over the gym I was working at and Cardio Strength Fitness was born.
(Our official opening was 14 October 2019.)
I remember being in Japan for my 40th birthday with my twin, trying to sort out business names, ABNs, logos, colours and all the other things that came with starting a business. 😳😂
Back then, I’m not sure I really understood what I was saying yes to. I just knew I loved fitness. I knew I loved helping people. And I knew I wanted to create something of my own.
What I didn’t know was just how much this little business would become such a huge part of my life. 🧡
FYI, Even on my 40th birthday big adventure holiday, I couldn’t walk past a dumbbell without getting excited. 🤣👇🏼
I have absolutely NO photos from my first day, first week or even first month of opening. 🤦🏻♀️😂 Clearly I was not thinking about future me needing evidence of the journey!
But looking back now, WOW. What a ride. 🙌🏼
There have been huge highs, plenty of challenges, lots of learning, a few “what the f$*% am I doing?” moments 😅, and so many incredible women who have walked through those doors.
Seven years ago I took a chance on myself.
And seven years later, I’m still incredibly grateful that I said YES. ❤️
I’m so proud of what CSF has become, but even more proud of the community of women who have helped me make it what it is. 🫶🏼
Every woman who has walked through that door, tried something new, lifted a weight she didn’t think she could, turned up when she didn’t feel like it, made a friend, had a laugh, or simply found a place where she felt comfortable to be herself.
You are CSF. 🩷
So here’s to 7 years of Cardio Strength Fitness and whatever comes next! 🥂
Happy 7th birthday CSF! 🎉🩷
