Only if you look at the fact that I sweat through my sweatshirt can you tell that we just crushed a little 30 min stair stepping sweat sesh together 🔥

God it felt good, especially to do it with him.

Have a great weekend!

I want to be the last one standing.

My “why” for the gym is because it’s where I build my grit for life and learn lessons that carry over into all other areas of my life.

The gym has taught me that progress can be slow, painful, and frustrating. Whether that’s the process of working on my bench press or building a business.

That a hard-earned reward is always better than a get-there-quick kind of scheme. No matter if the goal is an unassisted pull-up or building my future, if I keep at it, I’ll get there.

I’ve also learned the value of rest and moving slower than I want. Slowing down is often the best way to speed up progress.

The gym builds my confidence and mental toughness beyond the squat rack and into the gritty areas of life.

I might be training for different , , and events, but the real reason is for life. To be able to find it in me, to keep fighting for what I want regardless of how long and tiresome the process can be.

Bonus points for anyone that read this far - I’m Movements social media manager if you weren’t aware. 🤗🫡

Who’s ready for the next challenge 😈

STARTS TOMORROW! Details on the board and this time…the prize is in $$$ 👀

You gotta be prepared for the unexpected sometimes! Lizz’s reason why is the most unique yet, and as dog lovers it’s a favorite as well.

Here’s what Lizz had to say when we asked why she works out:
“Why do I work out?

I workout because of my love for big dogs. I love rescuing animals, specifically large dogs who may have some… “issues” when they get out of the shelter. To make sure I can handle them, train them properly, and even give them some love spanks, I need to be physically strong. This notion hit home even more one day when my largest personal dog H***h (105lbs) dropped to the ground with a seizure in my 3rd floor apartment. I panicked and felt incredibly helpless as I watched him struggle. I was fortunate that he cameout of it quickly and was able to stand on his own again. I realized, in that moment, that my lifting goals would revolve around being able to deadlift him, so that if anything ever happened again, I’d be able to carry him to the car and into the vet on a dime. I lift out of my love for big dogs. “ -

Thank you Lizz! Now can we see you deadlift a Great Dane or nah?

If you need a reason to work out today and keep moving, check out Dexter’s why:

“Why do I workout. I work out to stay healthy and feel physically good. Before coming to movement I was achey and had a decent amount of joint pain. Since going for a year my aches have vanished. My back feels 10x better than before. The machines and trainers at movement have helped me tremendously feel better while keeping my strength and size from before.”

Thanks Dex! It's always a pleasure to see ya! If we had an award for mirror pictures...you might win.

No classes tomorrow, but we are open 7 AM - 4 PM 💪🏽

Bonita…a true powerhouse! If you’ve seen her around the gym you totally know it!

Her’s her why…and it’s a dang good one. 💕

“It took me 40 years to realize what respecting myself truly meant. I got caught up with doing everything for everyone else and completely neglected what I needed to do for myself first. I was completely burnt out. I have only myself to blame for this. During this time, I realized I needed to change something in my life. As moms, we are expected and rewarded even for being a martyr (putting ourselves last) and this needs to change. Self care is not easy and requires deliberate effort (everyday) and setting boundaries for yourself. Once you love yourself enough to put in the work just for you, you will have achieved true self respect. Your kids will see this too.

So this is my why.

I workout because I have learned to love myself enough to take care of myself for me (not him, not them) - just me. If there’s one thing you can do to improve your life today, that’s getting moving. Start small, be consistent and have fun. We have one body and one life to live. You are the only one who has to be with you 24 hours a day, all day everyday. Make yourself happy first. Movement brings me happiness. Everything else will follow. Peace.”

Thanks for sharing you are a true inspiration to us all!

Check out this weeks schedule! Yoga is back Wednesday night and Saturday morning 😍

This week's schedule!! There are a few switch-ups!
Wednesday NIGHT: TRX AT 6:30
Friday at noon we have BOOTCAMP with Johnny 💪🏻
Saturday we’ve got your mobility covered TRX style!!

A student said to me recently "I wish I was as confident as you." 😳
It is 100% NOT that I think I'm better then anyone. It's that I'm willing to mess up and potentially be the weakest. I don't care what your opinion is of me. Your opinion is up to you...that's why it's personal.
My fears and insecurities will never conquer anything. Confidence wouldn't exist with out fear. Courage and confidence is more about continuing to move forward in spite of your fears. I have the same voices in my head telling me..oh my god what if I fail, what if I can't even finish, what if people think I'm stupid, what if I mess everything up and everyone hates me for it? What if what if what if.....All those negative voices yell at me too. I just choose to listen to the positive voices. Lean into the light. These voices also tell me what if I kick some major ass? What if I have fun? What if I can teach people to focus on all the good they can do? Can I teach them not pay attention to all their mistakes?
I am in control of MY actions, feelings, and thoughts. I am not in control of other people's opinions of me.
Think less about how others see you or if they like you. I like you, I believe in you ⭐️ you should too. 💋 We can learn to build strength, flexibility, and confidence.
Practice with me every Wednesday from 6:30-7:20

New class starting this Saturday!! 9:30 AM 🔥

Hey everybody! Pump and Cut! A workout for anyone looking to get toned, lean and fit. It’s a great total body workout! Working all the major muscle groups by utilizing light to intermediate weights with high reps to energize both the fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscles for a total body PUMP!

The good moves, proper technique, coaching, encouragement, and great music push you accomplish more than you started with, while building the body you want. You’ll leave the class feeling challenged and motivated, and hungry for more.

Who’s running the Lincoln Marathon !? How about the half? Let us know who to add to our cheerleaders list 😉

Have a great week!!

Enjoy the holiday this weekend! 😌

Weekly schedule!!
Note: there are no 4:30 PM LIFT sessions this week

Try out Yoga with Justina this Wednesday!!

Happy Monday my friends! Let’s begin our week with some news:))
I’m so excited to announce I’ll be teaching yoga EVERY Wednesday evening at 6:30pm Movement Academy
It’s been YEARS since I taught a public weekly class in a studio. Movement is such a BEAUTIFUL space(outdoor rooftop yoga!!😆) but most importantly all the extremely kind, talented, educated and personable fitness instructors they have! 💖 They have monthly memberships and individual class passes! Download the MINDBODY app. It couldn’t be easier to sign up.

Through all these crazy few years so many people have turned to online yoga and fitness classes…bravo for staying active BUT…we really all need proper human interaction. Especially with our fitness instructors! Your computer can’t tell you safe form corrections, sometimes the online cues they give are just flat out wrong ➡️ duh they can’t see what the heck you’re doing. Or my least favorite, they sound like they’re reading from a script they didn’t even write. Zero genuine human interaction. Lame.

Yoga is soooo personal, each body moves differently. It’s not something you should always teach yourself alone. The problem is we sometimes learn something the wrong way (improper form) our body remembers that and builds on continuously from a foundation that’s flawed. Potentially setting you up for injuries.
Yikes.

My classes are always based on proper joint movement, strengthening, and flexibility.
Love to you all. So excited for the future.
As always DM me with questions anytime or email me at [email protected]
