This platform for me has always been a mashup of my kids, mom life, barre and workouts I love, events I have the privilege of hosting, and of course nutrition and lunchbox ideas.
But as I wrap up another incredible round of teacher training โ and prepare to embark on another one โ Iโve realized I want to start sharing more of the โwhyโ behind what I do and the conversations Iโm passionate about within this industry.
What really sets instructors apart. For me, itโs the hustle.
Not the โteach 15 classes a day and burn yourself into the groundโ kind of hustle. Not the hustle that glorifies exhaustion.
I mean the willingness to put yourself out there. To take chances. To align yourself with the right opportunities โ the ones that give you exposure, allow you to showcase your creativity, build your brand, and get uncomfortable .
thereโs room for all of us in this industry. But building your name and your following takes time.
It may mean as a new instructor you donโt get the packed classes right away. You may not get the โperfectโ time slots. You may have to grind a little before things start to click.
Personally-that hustle looks like sitting in traffic driving into the city every single week to teach a free outdoor class (shout out to Blue Cross Blue Shield for paying me ๐). I never know if Iโm rolling up to teach 2 people or 60 peopleโฆ but honestly thatโs part of what makes it fun.
The instructors who continue to grow are usually the ones willing to stay curious, keep learning, collaborate, network, support others, and show up consistently even when it feels uncomfortable or slow.
Talent and knowledge matters, but so does energy, authenticity, work ethic, and the ability to create an experience people remember.
So while there will still be workouts, kids, coffee, lunchboxes, and everyday chaos hereโฆ Iโm excited to also start talking more about coaching, leadership, growth, and the business side of being in fitness. ๐
