The gym became an escape and coping mechanism for me, and thats why I opened Temple Of Her.
Lifting weights is a way that I’ve moved through my emotions. Anger and frustration, I lifted heavy. Sadness and grief, I lifted for endurance. Happiness and joy, I lifted for muscle building.
I first realized the gym was a place to shut my brain off in high school. But instead of a regular gym it was my all star cheer gym.
I lost my brother to su***de when I was 15, which was extremely heavy as I’m sure you can imagine. My cheer gym was the one place I could escape the grief and turn it off for a while.
As life has gone on and I’ve gone through other major life changes and traumatic experiences, the gym continued to be a place for me to cope and move through my emotions.
You best believe I’ve even cried in the gym before…
And this is one of the reasons Temple Of Her has come to be. As women we naturally take on everything and end up storing emotions in our bodies. Movement can be such an important tool to move through those emotions and feelings. And having a safe space to do just that is like nothing else.
When I cried in the gym, I was surrounded by men and of course I tried to hide it. I can only imagine how much better it would have felt to have a safe space to truly let go of everything I was feeling in that moment.
My hope is that every woman that joins Temple Of Her feels that sense of safety, to let go of everything that no longer serves her, to become the highest and best version of herself.
