Gentle Strength with Anne Schwalbe

03/21/2026

My family visited the Big Island of Hawai’i over spring break and were incredibly lucky to be at the day that Kilauea erupted. It was possibly the most awe inspiring experience of my life!

We were also lucky to catch our flight out as the devastating Kona low storm blew in to the islands causing terrible damage and flooding this week.

I know that tourism in Hawaii is problematic to say the least. And I also hope that travel can expand our perspective and build empathy and connection with distant places.

Take a look at latest post to find resources and places to give to support those being impacted the flooding and storms right now.

I don’t have much of a tie in with strength training here - other than that I am grateful to be alive in this body to experience the world 🌎 💕💪🏻

I’m excited to help bring this Gentle Nutrition workshop to our neighborhood. Especially now, diet culture wants to keep us small and internally focused. Learning to trust your body and nourish yourself can be a step towards greater collective resistance.

Our gym neighborhood has been hit hard. Here is an opportunity to support our neighbors with rent, utilities and other essentials.

When the North End Community Foundation (NECF) was established in 2000 its main purpose was granting scholarships to graduating seniors from local schools.  Once a year donations were given to local non-profit organizations located in the North End.Now, the North End...

Continuing to do my workouts right now feels grounding and gives me the presence and energy necessary to continue resisting in the ways that I can. That doesn’t mean the same is true for you. Do the things that will keep you going. And then keep going.
