REFIT with Kathy Jo

🚨 While you are busy caring for others, you cannot forget to care about YOURSELF! YOU cannot be the last option. YOU have to be the first option.🚨

💕You cannot put yourself last.
💕You cannot put your health last.
💕You cannot take care of everyone but yourself.
💕You cannot stop moving your body because you’re too busy moving everybody else.
💕You cannot let yourself go.
💕You cannot stop caring about yourself.

You are too important to allow these things to happen, and if you don’t make yourself a priority, the loss of your health will inevitably become your sole priority.

REFIT is how I keep myself and my health a priority! It’s what keeps me motivated and moving.

Don’t give up on yourself, y'all! Make it a priority to move whenever you can, however you can.

YOU ARE WORTH FIGHTING FOR.

REMINDER: ⁠FITNESS GOALS DON'T HAVE TO BE PHYSICAL GOALS. 👀

Which is why you won't hear us ask:⁠
How much do you weigh? ⁠
How many pounds do you want to lose?⁠
What area of your body do you want to improve?⁠
⁠
Here's the thing about REFIT: We don't talk much about the numbers on the scale, counting calories, or weight loss because we believe that lasting physical transformation starts on the inside! ⁠
⁠
We want to encourage you to love yourself and your body at every size, every shape, and every single season! ⁠We're committed to STRENGTHENING, LOVING, and HEALING instead of burning, shredding, or losing.
⁠
REFIT® loves your body, and you should too. ❤️

We're here to tell you the secret to success when it comes to fitness --⁠
⁠
Step one: Show up⁠, with an open heart and open mind.
⁠
That's it. ⁠
⁠
That's the hardest part. Once you show up to a REFIT® class, we will do the rest! We will turn on the music and we will teach you the moves, all you have to do is keep dancing with us! ⁠
⁠
The most important thing is that we get your body moving. The "do more, be more, get more results culture" might tell you that it's not enough to simply move your body - but we are inviting you to open your heart and mind to the truth that showing up is MORE than enough.

When fitness becomes a "get to" instead of a "have to" because you actually ENJOY the experience and the community, that's where the magic happens. 💛✨

Ready to give us a try?

Thank God His mercy & grace are new every morning 🙌💛

We're really good at the "Golden Rule" - aren't we? "Treat others as you want to be treated…."⁠
⁠
But what about when it comes time to treat OURSELVES with that same kindness and grace? The unfortunate truth is that conversations with ourselves don't always live up to the Golden Rule.⁠
⁠
⭐️ Here's the truth: YOU deserve the same kindness you so freely share with others. ⭐️⁠
⁠
What does that look like in everyday life?⁠
💕 Muting your inner critic and turning up the volume on the gracious, kind words you believe about yourself⁠
💕 LISTENING to your body and responding to its needs⁠
💕 Being gentle with your words when you look in the mirror or try on a new outfit. Speak to yourself the way you'd speak to a friend. Try to see yourself through their eyes
💕 Not denying your body of its critical needs, like proper fuel or adequate sleep ⁠
💕 Offering yourself grace and kindness when you inevitably slip up⁠
⁠
These are fighting words to equip yourself with as you start the new year. Choose KINDNESS when you hit the rough patch on your New Year's goals.

And remember, life is full of seasons and REVOLUTIONS. So it's okay if you're not following a straight line toward your goals 💛

If you're anything like us, our first instinct when faced with pain is to do everything possible to get rid of it...

Pain is an inevitable part of life, though, and often times the only way to deal with it is to go THROUGH it. And the path THROUGH it often leads to epic GET UPS that propel you to heights you never thought you could reach!

And you know what? You DO NOT have to do that alone.

The REFIT Community is a safe place to land. We're here to help you get up, brush yourself off, and fuel you with what you need to KEEP GOING.

Keep your head up. YOU GOT THIS! 👊🏼

At REFIT, we believe the heart is more than a muscle. 💛
..That a person is more than a body. That relationships are as important as results. And we believe fitness isn't just for the fit... it's for the willing.

REFIT® moves beyond the body into a life-changing experience. To us, the heart is both a muscle and a soul, and the impact of this targeted approach creates a deeper sense of connection, self-worth, and lasting change.

REFIT® transforms by elevating your thinking about what it means to be "fit." When you join us, you’ll walk out of class feeling weightless, accomplished, and ready to take on the world! 💛🤩

Let's talk about JOY! 🎉

Joy is different from happiness. It's durable, it's sustainable. It isn't fleeting as newness wears off, and it endures through difficult situations.

We might find happiness in momentary or trivial things, but JOY sustains.

We consistently find joy in the REFIT community. So it is a JOY to watch this community continue to pour into each other, lift each other up, and build genuine, lasting friendships because of REFIT - and we are smiling big because of that!

If you're looking for a tangible, practical way to commit to pursuing JOY, we have the perfect place to start!

REFIT is about more than just a workout - we're a fitness experience where *EVERY BODY* belongs, including YOU!

You can join our community virtually through REFIT® On Demand, locally at a certified REFIT® Instructor's classes, jump in with both feet and become a REFIT® Instructor yourself, or meet us right here on social media! Click the link in our bio to explore ways you can jump right in with this community 💛

EVERY. BODY. BELONGS.

That's not just a catchy phrase we use for marketing material and promotion. It's the core foundation of everything we do here at REFIT.

So what does it mean to BELONG in a fitness community?

Belonging is that feeling you get when you walk into a REFIT class and everyone knows your name. Your people, your crew. They see your quirks, your mess-ups, and your get-ups and love you even more. Through the highs and lows -- there's staying power in this space. Feeling fully loved for no other reason than you are worth knowing.

THAT is belonging. And if that's what you're after - well, then, welcome home. 💛

Love your body and it will love you back! 💛✨⁠
⁠
There are countless benefits to choosing gratitude each day, but it's more important now than it has been before.⁠
⁠..because this is the season of "burn more," "do more" and "see more results."⁠
⁠
That's a lot of pressure.⁠
⁠
How about we count more blessings and choose to celebrate the things we love about our bodies, instead? ⁠
⁠
Scientifically speaking, our brains are trained to focus more on the things we pay closest attention to. If we start noticing and counting up the things we love about our bodies, the room left for negativity or the things that drain us dwindles quickly.⁠
⁠
If you're ready to commit, we'll meet you there! REFIT is a fitness experience that will help you CELEBRATE what your body CAN do! ⭐️⁠

You do you 💛

⭐️ You were created to TAKE UP SPACE ⭐️

Both metaphorically and literally - you are not meant to shrink into a mold. It's time to BUST OUT of that mold and give yourself permission to be all that you were created to be.

Your life should be big, and you should not succumb to becoming LESS, even if that's the message you're getting from the world around you.

In a world that tells you that you have to become LESS - we're reminding you that you are MORE than enough already.

Don't you dare dull that sparkle!

Bring your WHOLE, full self to the world around you. That's the best gift you could give those who need all that you are!

If you spend any time around children, you know how wonder-filled they are ✨

Every little thing sparks wonder and awe - partially because they're experiencing so much for the first time, but also because they allow themselves to be enchanted by life.

At some point growing up, that sparkle dims. But it never truly disappears...you just have to LOOK for it.

You have to COMMIT to looking for moments and things that take your breath away, inspire you, and fill you with wonder. Those things didn't go anywhere. We just stopped looking.

If you're following along with our REVOLUTION OF ONE Challenge, we asked you to do something today that makes you feel like a kid again...

Let us know in the comments how you are committing to seeing the world with WONDER today! 👇🏼 👇🏼👇🏼

💡 Fun fact: At REFIT, we say the basic unit of community is CONNECTION.

Our goal is to create communities of belonging, empowerment, and transformation. Step one of that magic is ✨CONNECTION.✨

Letting people in is the hard but necessary first step in that process. If you're looking for a space to build community and find genuine connection and friendship, the REFIT Community is waiting for you with open arms!

REFIT is about so much more than fitness. Beyond the joy we find in the FUN of our workouts, we also find joy, encouragement, and commitment from one another. And we are ready for YOU, too!
