I want to challenge everyone this week to change their words from “have to” to “get to.”

We don’t have to work out - we GET TO.
We don’t have to eat healthy - we GET TO give our body yummy, nourishing food to fuel it. Some people aren’t that lucky.
We don’t have to wake up early for that 5:15 AM class - we GET TO wake up and move our bodies. There are people bound to hospital beds that would kill for that opportunity.

If you look for the bad aspects of life, you’ll always find them

If you look for the good aspects of life, you’ll always find them.

Which one you choose to look for is always up to you.

A positive perspective is the most powerful thing you can have. 🤝🏼

Well… SD State Fair week is here!!! Which means workouts will now be competing with corn dogs, fair food, late nights, cold beverages and probably a few questionable decisions.. Honestly… enjoy it- you only live once and that’s what this week helps remind us.

We’ll be here doing our normal thing all week.. kind of!! Saturday morning a bunch of us are trading the gym for Andy’s Road Race and doing the 5K or 10K! If you’ve been thinking about doing it… SIGN UP. You definitely won’t be the only Solveig person out there, and misery always loves company. 😂

Then there is SELF CARE SUNDAY (9/6 @ 5pm) tucked in at the end — which feels pretty appropriately timed.

And finally... there’s Labor Day… We're thinking NO regular classes and instead we will get together for one big SUPER SWEAT SESSION to sweat out whatever happened over the weekend!!! Details coming because, per usual, we haven't completely figured that part out yet!!

Anyway… here’s the week of 8/31....
Go to the fair- Eat the food- Come workout- Or don't for a day- We’ll survive!!

We have been extremely lucky to have some of the most amazing people step up as coaches - so we thought it was time we shared a little about them with all of you!

💡Coach Spotlight 💡

1. Name + What you coach at Solveig?
- Jake Wolfe + GRITFIT | Forged

2. When did you first start coming to Solveig?
- Over a year and a half ago!

3. What made you start coaching?

- At one point in my workout journey, group classes scared me. Once I experienced the physical benefits and the great community, I wanted to be able to ease that transition for others so they could have the same benefits.

4. What’s your go to music for a workout?
- I’m all over the board. Hard rock, hip hop, classic rock, pop, grunge, rap. I love a good music themed workout!

5. Your favorite type of workout?
- Strength for sure, but a Sculpt class is hard to pass up.

6. Favorite post workout snack and drink?
- Most Saturdays after a hot room class, I’m making sourdough pancakes. Does maple syrup count as a drink?

7. What’s one random thing you’re weirdly good at?
- Is it bad that my answer is “nothing”?

8. Favorite guilty pleasure snack?
- ICE CREAM

9. Favorite movie?
- Major League

10. What’s one thing you always tell your class?
- Probably “ this is supposed to be difficult”

11. One song that will ALWAYS get you moving?
- Welcome to the family by Avenged Sevenfold

12. What emoji best describes you as a coach?
- 👀🤯

A new week at a place we're pretty damn proud of. Not because the schedule is full.
Not because we've added more classes. Not because the space looks a whole lot different than it used to.

It's the people in it.

The 515am crew arriving at 518am and treating the 5:00 of cardio at the beginning of class like their grace period- The person finally doing something they couldn't do six months ago- The laughing between sets- The coaches who know when to push and when to back off- The new person walking in nervous and realizing pretty quickly that nobody cares what weight they are holding on to or how fast they move.

That's the stuff that's hard to put on a schedule.. But it's probably the best part of this place!!

Anyway... here's where we'll be this week. Doors open. Music probably too loud. Same good people- we keep things very easy over here!!!
