It’s pride and this bisexual is tired.

I regularly find myself reflecting on what I want to share on social media and why. Recently, I’ve found myself reading statements of LGBTQ+ support from other businesses and actually getting annoyed. I’m sick of the virtue signaling. I’m sick of the same posts going around naming the same 7 businesses over and over as allies while simultaneously doing nothing to recognize businesses that are actually owned by q***r folks. I’m sick of the social media performative activism. It’s the exact same language copy + pasted again and again, with no proof that they’ve ever done anything to back their words up with tangible support. If you’ve only ever mentioned or thought of q***r and trans people during June then please just save your breath. I’m tired. We’re all tired.

I do think it’s important to be clear and upfront about what your values are. But I hope that I have built a business where my values come across not through empty words on a post but through the actual actions that I take day in and day out as both a business owner and a regular human being existing in the world.

If you are q***r, I hope this month is one of joy and rest. I hope this month is one of connection and feeling at peace in your daily life. I hope it’s one of safety. I hope you find spaces that were created with you specifically in mind, not as an afterthought. You deserve more than a blanket “love is love” statement made once a year. You deserve the whole damn world.

I love you.

Yes, you can still workout during pregnancy!

Outside of prenatal yoga, we don’t have any specific fitness classes for pregnancy (currently 👀), but that’s doesn’t mean the other classes we offer are not pregnancy-friendly. We’ve had countless women participate in our classes (strength classes in particular) all the way up to the week they give birth.

3 of our trainers have prenatal fitness certifications and all of our trainers are knowledgeable on how to adjust or modify any and all exercises throughout pregnancy.

Every pregnancy is different and please consult your doctor before jumping into a new exercise routine, but general guidance says that it is safe to continue or start working out during pregnancy. Your body and mind will thank you and so will your baby. After all, birthing is athletic. Carrying babies requires strength. Chasing after toddlers requires endurance. Parenthood is a sport. You can start preparing for that now!

Special shout-out to the COUNTLESS new parents and soon-to-be parents at Rooted. There have been a lot of y’all lately and it warms my heart to see 💖

Look, here’s the deal. We know it’s hard to stay consistent with your workouts over the summer. You’re outside, you’re more active, you’re hanging out, you’re traveling, you’re living your best life outside of the gym. We know (and we love this for you).

We also know that the best time to build habits and consistency is actually when you’re the busiest.

Enter: the summer membership. 10-weeks for $175. This membership allows you to take any 2 classes each week. That’s 20 total classes over 10 weeks for $175 (that’s $8.75/class!!!). It’s limited to 2 classes per week because the goal here is to build consistency rather than all-or-nothing. And yes, you can absolutely make progress with 2 hours each week!

This is only available for purchase May 1-16th. Once it’s gone it’s gone (at least until next summer) ☀️🕶️💪

Interested in strength training but not sure where to start? Start with this! This 4-week series will introduce you to the big 3 barbell lifts (squat, bench, deadlift), as well as other foundational strength exercises. Each week we will break down safety, set-up, form, and even smart programming. This is a crash course in all things strength. Limited to 8 participants so that each person can receive one-on-one support and feedback.

Time: Wednesday nights 5:30-6:15pm from May 6-27th. This will be the last time we have this series at this time for the foreseeable future!
Cost: $150 for all 4 weeks. Please reach out if price is a barrier, we will never turn anyone away!
