The rainy season is here!

And with it lots of us experience a drop in energy and mood... That sometimes seems to last the entire winter.

Well the best way to help increase energy is..... You guessed it!

WORKING OUT!!

It's sometimes counter intuitive but working out improves energy and mood. And just makes for a better life.

Interested in what that could look like for you? DM us or schedule a no pressure talk about what YOU want. I promise you'll leave with some clarity!

Could you use a little more strength or confidence in your life? Not the "hey everybody look at me!" type of confidence, although there's nothing wrong if that's what you like.

I'm talking about the confidence to be able to 𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙚 life without worrying about getting hurt, or needing someone else to help with daily things because a lack of strength.

I'm talking about the confidence to wear the clothes you'd like to wear and feeling great in them.

It's amazing the things in life that start to change when your confidence increases, which is one of the biggest benefits of being strong.

And it all starts with simply getting into the gym. Interested? Just DM us and we'll help figure out what starting looks like for you.

Our members love our gym. And that's not by accident.

We are very intentional with everything that happens inside the walls of Formidable.

And we are very intentional about making sure people know what kind of gym we are.

𝗪𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗴𝘆𝗺. What does that mean?

-It means we believe you shouldn't have to be healthy and fit on your own, and you don't need to!
-It means you are never left wondering what to do or why you are doing it.
-You are never left to workout on your own, or figure things out on your own.
-You have someone to help with goals and adjust things when it doesn't feel like you are getting what you want.

Life is so busy and full and we made the gym to help people with busy full lives stay healthy!

𝗪𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝘁𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗮𝗯𝗶𝘁! What does that mean?

-Your workout should be one of the best hours of your day!
-It means you should do things that are effective at keeping you strong AND you should start with doing things that you enjoy and help you feel good!
-No pain no gain isn't true! Sure it's okay, even great to push really hard in workouts if that's what you like, and you really don't need to do that to stay healthy and active.

𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 and we believe that through and through. It's what helps give us purpose and joy in life, it gives us chances to inspire and be inspired by others.

Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish.

For busy parents, it can actually be one of the best things you do for your family.

When your own health gets pushed to the bottom of the list, everything else gets harder too — energy, patience, workouts, work, and just showing up the way you want to.

You don’t need an extreme plan. You need simple habits that help you feel better and fit your real life.

That’s what we help people build at Formidable.

Meet Jaime and Erich!

Jaime first came in for a No Sweat Intro about a year ago. She wasn’t quite ready to start at the gym yet, but she did start taking her health more seriously.

She and Erich became more intentional with their food, started walking more, and supported each other through the process.

Their son even joined our Teens program over the summer.

And now, after making some incredible changes together, Jaime and Erich have officially started training with us too.

𝗧𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆’𝘃𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝟭𝟰𝟬 𝗽𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘀, but what I love most is that they know this isn’t the finish line.

They want to get stronger, build more muscle, create healthy habits they actually enjoy, and keep doing this as a family.

That’s pretty awesome.

Jaime, Erich, and Kyle — we’re really excited to have you here and to be part of what comes next. 💪

Don't over complicate your health.

Focus on sleeping good.

Drink lots of water, and not much of anything else.

Walk outside often, without your phone.

And LIFT WEIGHTS! They don't have to be heavy, but you do need to lift them to get all the amazing benefits.

It's so easy as a busy adult to put your health last.

Behind your kids.
Behind your job.
Behind your spouse.
Behind your social life.
Behind your house work.
And behind just trying to relax from the stress of all the above.

And most of us make starting a workout or fitness routine to be much harder than it actually is.

It doesn't have to be hours a week to start.

But it does need to start! And 1 time a week is a great, manageable, realistic place to begin.

Somewhere you can start noticing the difference and commit to yourself. An build momentum from there.

If 45 minutes a week sounds doable then let's do it!

Reach out to us, this is what we love to do!! And we will help know what your next step is, even if it's not with us.
