Friday’s just hit a little different! Luke and I were having some FOMO watching our classes work through this circuit in February so we decided it was our turn! Let me just say, our clients are incredibly strong and fierce! We love designing and leading you through these workouts every day. Thank you for how you show up, we’ll keep showing up for you too. I’m just not sure how often we’ll do this workout 😳😂

If you’re using the right weight, you should be happy to put the weight down by the end of the set. Don’t flop it down. Deadlift it down, like you deadlifted it up.

And it seems simple and obvious but countless times we see folks drag the kettlebell across the body, paying little attention to what they are doing. Or transferring the weight to the other hand — also with minimal attention to what they are asking of their shoulders.

Just step to the other side friends!

“I Lift So I Can Carry More Books” will be the tagline of the KSA Bookclub!

Initial meeting takes places this Sunday, March 15th at 11am! We’ll meet virtually for this first meeting so we can work out (pardon the pun 😉) how we would like the KSA Bookclub to get started.

What books are we reading? How do we choose? When and where do we meet? Squee, I’m so excited to talk books with you!!

Yesterday, my daughter and I drove 3+ hours to Huntsville to skate the ice trail at Arrowhead Provincial Park. The skating was incredible — but so was our road trip playlist, our snacks, face masks and all the little moments in between.

Driving up, I reflected on how my I love the journey towards an experience. It’s not actually about a singular outcome, but a series of experiences and adventures borne out of curiosity. It’s also what I love about strength training. After 20+ years of strength training, I’m still infatuated by the journey and what it teaches me along the way.

This journey doesn’t have a specific outcome. It’s often repetitive and slow, but as I continue along this long road, I discover little surprises along the way. Injuries can sometimes make for a bumpy road, but each one is an opportunity to learn and grow. The learning helps me to move forward stronger and better equipped to navigate the inevitable challenges that are yet to come.

Through this current stretch of road I’m on, my body is larger than I’m used to (thank you perimenopause) but stronger than ever. After years of watching my body change from various life experiences, I am able to remind myself to focus on being injury and pain free. There is nothing *wrong* with my body. She is going through another period of change but I feel good and I feel strong. So, I journey on.

Once upon a time Friday night was for getting dolled up and finding a dance floor. Lately I’ve fallen in love with Friday evening workshops at KSA 🤣

Here are some snippets from last Friday’s Kettlebell Swing workshop where we focused on developing a solid hinge to then build our two-hand swing before progressing to the single arm swing and the hand-to-hand swing. I love these opportunities to troubleshoot movement patterns and help clients develop new skills outside of a typical “group class” setting. We talked about breathing and matching the tension to the task — applicable to so much beyond just the swing.

I’ll be adding more workshops to the schedule in the coming weeks. I know the folks who attended last week’s workshop would like a Kettlebell part 2 where we explore cleans and sn**ch — what else would you like to see?

02/03/2026

Our Barbell Basics class starts with a mobility warm-up, and then takes you through an 8-10 week journey of building intention by getting stronger under the bar.

No rush, just progress.

Semi-private training has become one of our most asked about services over the past few years — and for good reason! At KSA we blend the benefits of 1:1 training with the camaraderie of group fitness. Each member of the group has an individualized workout program that is based on their fitness goals and needs. Sharing the same time slot from week to week provides the social experience and community that helps to keep many of us motivated to keep working towards our goals.

Most of our trainers have spots available for new semi-private clients throughout the week — send me a message to find out more about pricing and availability!

PS, I have a rare spot available in two of my semi-private groups! Mondays at 8:15am and Tuesdays at 10:30am :)

This year has been hard. The kicks started early and felt like they kept coming all year long. It was a year marked by panic attacks, parenting challenges, and seismic shifts in my relationship with my mom — my person, who for so long was my greatest champion and friend. She didn’t remember my birthday and didn’t want to see me for the holidays. The death of a friend’s 18 yr old reminded me that the absolute worst thing really can happen. As I said, it’s been a hard year.

Moving KSA into its new home didn’t come without its own challenges. But this space, and the people who fill it up, fills me up too. With love and gratitude and so much strength.

My 16yr old gives me the best hugs when he sees that I’m sad. My 13yr old is the best cuddler, hand holder, sad song/movie companion when I just need to feel my feelings. My husband shows up for me in countless ways and his love is my rock.

As I look through pictures of this year, I see friendships. community and family who helped me through — even if they didn’t know they were doing it. I’m reminded that it’s through these connections that I find strength and purpose and love. The hard and s**tty stuff doesn’t go away and I can’t fix it. But I can live alongside it. And sometimes lifting heavy s**t, alongside people who also like to lift heavy s**t is all I need to get through another day.
