Melanie's Story

WE THINK IT’S TIME TO CHANGE THE NARRATIVE ABOUT FITNESS AND OUR TEAM IS SHARING THEIR STORIES TO HELP YOU CHANGE YOURS!

THIS IS THE STORY OF MELANIE, WHO’S ONE OF OUR GROUP FITNESS INSTRUCTORS.

“ Fitness to me is a holistic concept, taking care of my mind and body and striving for overall wellness. 

Being “fit” doesn’t mean looking a certain way or seeing a certain number on the scale - it’s much more than that. 

Fitness is finding balance between both my mind and body focusing on overall strength and flexibility. 

It includes being kind to myself, being forgiving and accepting of my flaws and weaknesses. Taking care of myself through proper nutrition (most of the time), exercise and self-care are top priorities and help me feel like my best self.“

SO WE ASK - WHAT DOES FITNESS MEAN TO YOU? 

WE CAN TAKE BACK A WORD THAT HAS HURT SO MANY OF US, TO MAKE IT SOMETHING OF DIVERSE BEAUTY. TO CREATE OUR OWN DEFINITION OF WHAT A “FIT BODY” LOOKS LIKE. 

AN ACT OF LOVE FOR OUR BODIES, RATHER THAN HATE.
