50,000 Step Journey!! 24 miles, 6 hours and 40 minutes, and 50,000 steps for me!
I did this to prepare everyone for the 50,000 step walking challenge we are doing on June 14th. I wanted to know exactly what it felt like so I could give all of you the best advice and preparation possible.
It was definitely a journey!! One thing I can already tell you is that if you plan to complete all 50,000 steps, your AirPods will probably die and so will your Apple Watch, especially if you are listening to music or an audiobook the entire time. Start planning now for charging options, backup headphones, or portable chargers because you will want them!
Stay tuned for an email and this time actually read it 😂
We can do hard things. ❤️

Sunday’s workout will be HYROX again!!
For those who missed it last time, we’re doing it again! It’s going to run longer than our typical Sunday workout, extending from 60 minutes to about 90ish minutes.
Remember, you can always leave whenever you need to. Showing up for any amount of time is better than not showing up at all!

New apparel is in!!! (More size smalls coming soon.)
When we choose to create apparel, there is a lot of thought and care that goes into it. We want our apparel to align with our values and mission statement so you can feel confident knowing your money is supporting businesses that advocate for the same things we do. is a company that cares deeply about human rights and publicly stands by those values, allowing the community to feel comfortable and proud supporting them.
“Fitness Is Political” is the phrase we chose this time around because nothing feels more true. Fitness is political because access, representation, safety, and belonging in movement spaces are not equal for everyone. We believe fitness should empower all bodies, all identities, and all communities, not just the privileged few. Movement is more than workouts; it’s advocacy, visibility, connection, and creating spaces where people feel seen, strong, and welcome.
Thank you to for putting so much love and care into our apparel and helping create something our members can proudly wear out in the community.
