Join us today for some fun and accountability in your fitness & wellness pursuits! (Amy is on vacation until 9/24, but she will get back to everyone when she gets home. Please be patient!)

Just a reminder that there is no class today (Monday) for Labor Day.

(It's up to individual trainers if they want to hold personal training sessions, so if you are scheduled for PT, don't sweat it!)

Kent is infamous for MacGuyvering his way torturing us just right with chewing gum, paperclips, and whatever odd equipment he can find around the gym. The man is a creative genius, SRSLY. We were worried when Eve filled in for him in Bodybuilding Class tonight that she wouldn't be able to follow his notes for how he expected us to get the most out of these resistance tubes for our lats, but we think she nailed it.

We are SO excited to partner with Women In Motion for this FREE workshop at Clay Fitness on the prevention and management of low back pain, with a focus on core and pelvic floor musculature. It will be part lecture/discussion, and part movement.

This workshop is for women AND MEN, and we encourage anyone local suffering from low back pain (or wanting to prevent it) to sign up using the QR code on the flyer.

Michelle (Owner of WIM) is SUPER knowledgeable, and we are delighted that she is helping us provide this resource for you. You don't need to be a current Clay client to attend, but pre-registration is required. Share this with a friend who might benefit.

This amazing human is having a birthday 🎈 today. Robbie, we love you! 💜 You are a ray of sunshine ☀️, everyone's best cheerleader, so kind and loving and warm and supportive. You help make Clay such a special place for all of us, and you inspire us every day.

We did an undisclosed number of burpees today in celebration, and an excessively long boat hold (by request!). Here's to another great year of getting stronger and healthier together! 🥂

The next Clay Fitness retreat to beautiful Treasure Beach, Jamaica is coming up fast, April 1-7. Some have suggested that, given Eve's tendencies to want to show everyone all the amazing foods Jamaica has to offer, it might be better called "Eve's Eat Retreat" (Thanks, Jessica). From ital vegan restaurants, to the freshest seafood, mouth-watering tropical fruits to the national dish of ackee and salt fish, boiled "ground food", fried dumplings, rice and peas, curry goat, oxtail, steamed veg, callalloo, perfect fried chicken, and of course, jerk -- there's something for everyone.

It's not to late to join us on the retreat. Contact us today by emailing [email protected] for more information and to get signed up.

I can't tell you how many times I have had conversations with clients and friends about the discomfort of jumping/running activities for larger-chested women holding us back from participating in activities we would otherwise like to do. The right sports bra (that fits properly) can go a long way toward eliminating this problem.

With this in mind, Clay is partnering with Derriere De Soie (Derriere de Soie) this Saturday for a fun collaboration. In honor of supporting women (pun intended) in leading active, healthy lives, DDS is doing in-store sports bra fittings all day on Saturday, 1/27, and offering 15% off sports bras for Clay community members. If you are interested, message us and we'll send you the link to sign up for a bra-fitting appointment.

As an added bonus, anyone who purchases a sports bra from DDS on 1/27 in-store will automatically be entered in a raffle for 2 free Clay Fitness classes and a free 1-on-1 movement assessment with Eve (owner of Clay Fitness) and a mini-bo***ir photo session with the insanely talented Audra Jones (Audra Jones Photography). Audra is not only a phenomenal photographer who produces gorgeous wedding and bo***ir photography, but she is a long-time Clay Fitness client and friend. Audra, Megan and Eve all believe that fitness should be for everyone, and that every body is amazing and deserves celebration.

To make it a little more impactful, anyone buying a sports bra on 1/27 is welcome to purchase an additional raffle ticket (or more than one) for $10/each, and 100% of the proceeds from the purchased raffle tickets will be donated to the Sexual Assault Resource Agency (SARA) in C'ville.

1) Message us for the link to sign up for your free sports bra fitting at Derriere de Soie on 1/27/24.
2) Purchase a sports bra on 1/27 and get a 15% discount and an entry into the raffle for two classes and a movement assessment at Clay and a mini-bo***ir photo shoot with Audra Jones Photography (1-hour, complete with professional hair & makeup, a glass of bubbly or custom coffee order, pre-session consulting and guided posing, and 65 edited hi-res photos ready for digital download with print rights.)
3) purchase additional raffle tickets from DDS for $10/each in support of the Sexual Assault Resource Agency in Charlottesville.
4) Get out there and get moving!

There are a lot of great options out there for bras that will support your preferred activities. We've come a long way -- let Megan help you remove one more obstacle that might be keeping you from moving your body in ways that bring you joy and improve your health and longevity!
