🤦♀️ I have personally posted before and after transformation photos, and toxic messaging posts.
👨🎓 It took me some time and education to understand what I was trying to show - I am sincerely sorry for what I didn't understand in the past.
🕵️♀️ I realized my journey could not be summarized by a before and after picture, because true transformations cannot be seen.
😥 Many conversations with my clients and respected colleagues made me realize that seeing transformation photos made people overly critical of themselves. I see that so clearly now.
Nearly all transformation posts are focused on a physical transformation, and many cross the line of obsessive and unhealthy methods to get there. And it's a big reason why people are feeding the diet industry billions of dollars annually.
We have since created a body neutral space here at Activate, encouraging HEALTH PROMOTING BEHAVIORS without being tied to weight or how you look.
Body neutral – because sometimes loving your body feels like too farfetched of an idea. Am I right? We are way happier with a body neutral mindset because it allows us to appreciate all our bodies do for us every day.
As coaches, we won’t:
❌Share before and after weight loss transformations to sell products or services
❌Equate thinness or leanness with health, happiness, or superiority
❌Tell you being thin or being ripped will bring you happier, better life
❌We will not post body checks
❌Use diet culture, triggering phrases like “get beach body ready”, or “burn off that treat”.
❌Convince people that starving themselves can lead to health benefits. So. Effing. Wrong.
❌'Kickstart new habits' - like being obsessed with 'clean eating.'' SIGH, big old nope.
❌We know wellness culture likes to tell us that we can 'reset' our bodies like they're some sort of electronic that you can 'reset to factory settings,' but anyone with an ounce of scientific knowledge will tell you that that's not the way our bodies work.
A part of our mission is for every client to feel normal and safe here. We want you to walk out of Activate studio feeling empowered and strong in body, mind, and spirit.
Big love, Lisa CPT, CNC, GGS Women's Coach Specialist

Lisa here! REMINDER...I am taking a step back this week! 🛑
I’m out of the studio and away from work to celebrate my mom’s 86th birthday. 🎂
Family, health, and honoring our elders are values I hold incredibly close to my heart. Taking time to be fully present is a priority for me, and I always look forward to spending these days with my Mom.
I’ll be back on Monday July 27th—thank you all for your support and understanding! ❤️
Big love,
Coach Lisa (she/her)

Your body is for living, not looking!
It is an instrument, NOT AN ORNAMENT.
To have a summer body, simply have a body and go enjoy the summer!
The only 'summer body' I need is the one I already have, ready to experience the season.
I refuse to let my appearance become the thing that runs my life.
Celebrate your body for what it DOES for you, not for what it looks like…your appearance has ZERO to do with your self-worth.
Big love,
Coach Lisa CPT, CNC, GGS Women’s Coach Specialist (she/her)
It is not about how high you jump.
The goal is safely creating enough impact to signal your bones to grow, which starts with simple, low-level movements on a forgiving surface rather than explosive, high-height jumps.
Exercises like sit-to-stand jumps improves functional independence, helps maintain bone density, and drastically reduces your risk of falling.
Start with low-impact movements and slowly progress to build confidence!

🎉 HELP US WISH ATHLETE AUDREY A HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 🎉
Audrey’s coachability is truly exceptional. She possesses the rare ability to internalize and immediately implement coaching cues, demonstrating a deep understanding of movement. With a relentless drive to improve, she consistently strives to master new skills.
Training with our powerlifters, Audrey is fostering friendships, and creating a vibrant group that gathers every Thursday.
This isn't just about a few workouts a week; it's about weaving fitness into everyday life; strong to stay safe in her physically demanding job, and to remain capable and enjoy life to the fullest.
Audrey, we are so grateful to have you in our Activate fam! We hope this year brings more of what makes you feel happy and fully yourself.
Big love,
Coach Craig, Coach Lisa and the Activate team
