Calling all Moms (and Dads).
School has started and the first week is just about done.
We've already had a handful of Moms join and start taking better care of themselves, and it's amazing to see how powerful that has been for them, even after just a week to 10 days.
As parents we spend so much time and energy (and money too) taking care of our kids.
It's hard to extend that same amount of love to ourselves, but it makes such difference.
If you spend time thinking about having more energy and not feeling so worn out....
If you want clothes to fit better and feel stronger and more toned....

Last night I didnโt want toโฆ
I was tiredโฆ
My feet were tiredโฆ.
However, I remembered who is watching me. Rogue was doing football stuff 12-840. I bet he was tired.
Rory was creating all dayโฆ I bet he was tiredโฆ
Reid worked all day and was off at football practice. I bet he was tired.
So Rory and I set a timer for 25 min. And we worked out.
We didnโt have a plan but we had the intention.
I reflected on me at 250lbs.
She was tired also.
She also didnโt see a path.
Today I see the path.
So instead of letting my self care take a day off (because after a day of caring for others that doesnโt actually feel better)
I got moving and we laughed, muscles worked and off to the house we went to cuddle and watch a movie.
Life is about balance.
Find your balance!
If you have a hardtime with that. Thatโs why Iโm here and my team.

We are 1 day late but HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our founder, and leader Katie Adams!!!
Yesterday she turned 40 years old.
And for the last 14 years she has poured her soul, sweat, tears and love into making Formidable the place it is today.
Over that time she has impacted the lives of 100's of people here in our amazing community of Canby and beyond.
She truly has a gift and the passion for helping people find, and be the best versions of themselves.
She has a saying "I will believe in you until you believe in you". And it's true we've seen it play out time and time again and each experienced it on our own.
She see's the best version of people that we often don't see in ourselves, and then she reflects it back to us, so we may live into that version.
She creates miracles and the miraculous everywhere she goes, and never stops looking for ways to deepen the positive impact she can have on this world.
This September she will be heading to London to attend one of the top coaching schools in the world. We can't wait to see what level of service she brings back!
We love you Coach Katie!

This is what Andrew said 3 months into his journey here at Formidable. It's now been 18 months and he'll be the first to tell you how different his life is now.
Not just his body although he is down over 20 pounds of fat and up in muscle and is doing workouts and movements he wouldn't have dreamed of 2 years ago.
But more than anything if you talk to Andrew he'll tell you it's his mind, his outlook on life that has changed the most.
For him coming in just about everyday to smile, laugh, and move his body with his friends is his therapy.
It's his happy place, and it makes ALL aspects of his life better.
And he makes our lives and community better! Thanks Andrew, we are truly grateful to have you as a part of our Formidable Family. Keep up the amazing work!!
If being any of these things: happier, healthier and fitter sound good to you, you can come chat with us for free. No pressure to join. But I do promise you'll leave with more of a plan than when you came in.

Call us crazy... But we believe your fitness can and should be fun!
And that's how we make all our classes and experiences here at Formidable (as is clearly evident from this picture!).
That's Coach Trevor coming in from the left and Coach Riley front and center. With Coach Sandy and Coach Katie immediately behind.
We aim to make your workout hour like Recess used to be in school. The best part of the day.
We see too many who people make being health and fit a bigger thing than it needs to be.

It doesn't have to be something you dread or peel yourself out of bed or off the couch for, although yes sometimes that's what it takes.
But rest assured you will always leave feeling better.
So don't let those thoughts in your head; of being intimidated or scared to try something new or getting back into shape keep you on the couch.
We love helping people, and we are good at it!
Schedule a free no pressure talk here or just DM us

What gets you from the couch to the gym?
It's kinda my job to have that answer. And it's also kinda my job to be able to relate it to you in a way that helps.
I could tell you:
We have the best coaches around (which we do)
We have an amazing community that will help support and encourage you (which we do)
You'll be amazed at how much better you feel once you started moving your body again (which you will)
It will make all the other parts of your life easier and better (which it will)
It will not only help your body feel better but you'll just be a happier version of you (which is true)
The reality though is I'm not sure what gets you from where you are to where you want to be.
Only you know that, and it's different for everyone.
At some point your commitment to change has to be more than your commitment to stay the same.
At some point you accepted that where you are is just how it is or has to be right now.
And maybe the most common things that keeps you stuck is just your thoughts.
And that's not a knock on you.
I know all those feelings and thoughts well. But they are just that; thoughts and feelings. They aren't anything more than that unless we believe them.
And it's so easy to believe the stories we tell ourselves, especially the ones about our time (or lack there off) and health.
But it doesn't have to be that way. And you are the one who can make the change and take the action. Create a different story.
One where you make the time for yourself, because you deserve to feel great in your body.

So maybe what gets you from the couch to the gym is having a little bit of hope.
That things don't have to be the way they are.
It all starts with action. AND it can be small.
As easy getting up and going for a walk outside.
As easy as replying to this email to start a conversation to figure out what the next step looks like.
DM us if you're ready for that change.
