"Stop pinning boards of super skinny models, stop studying other people and their bodies and their clothes and their seeming coolness… they.aren’t.you! They don’t have your talents, your gifts or your uniqueness, so stop studying them… Do you. Nobody can be you, so wake up go have some coffeee and fruit and take yourself for a walk."

We’ve all seen the FB memes about monday and coffee and it’s misery… But if for some insane reason on a “fat friday” you decided Monday was the day...

"I want folks to understand that even the $64 billion-a-year U.S. weight loss industry no longer disputes that their failure rate hovers around 95%."

I want you to know that I celebrate your New Years Resolution for better health and wellness
but
I want you to know that weight loss is not the means to the end. It is a catalyst that might get you started but pick from any of the following to keep you going. Increase strength, decrease pain, increase flexibility, decrease blood pressure and cholestoral, Increase quality of living.

"how about making a resolution to do something that helps you love yourself? Maybe something fun, like go dance once a week or take a drawing class or learn to knit or play the piano or learn to code so you can make your own badass app. Something — anything — that helps you realize that focusing on what makes you feel joy is way more fulfilling than resolving to torture and starve your body because you hate it.

"New year. Same you. Still awesome." http://ow.ly/WrFNL

With a new year comes increased pressure to lose weight. Here's what eight body positive activists have to say about creating a "new you" in 2016.

I have created this group to help support men and women who have self sabotaging behaviors that prevent them from moving forward in their journey to better health and fitness. This group does not require participation in any of the other more intensive groups I run.

The point of the group is to help you establish reasonable lifelong habits that create meaningful change to your health well being and fitness.

for more details on the group! Please note that signing up does NOT obligate you to the group or the $10 monthly fee

This week has been unbelievably stressful. The emotions of closing down my fitness studio the accolades from people whose lives we've changed. The stress of figuring how to continue on with what I want without being pulled into what other people want me to do. The eagerness and excitement I have with my new project connecting trainers and clients. The satisfaction and relief of Jesse setting up an in home training studio so I can have better work/life balance (thank you Zeena Dhalla for the idea and inspiration) the heartache knowing there are people I just won't be able to train or work with anymore. The disappointment that a trainer I entrusted with one of my clients with already injured them. Letting go of my ego that I can't take care of everyone and fix everyone as much as I'd like to because my kids need me first and foremost. Stamping down the same ego when greeted with tears and "what am I going to do without you". Elation knowing that I was successful, that I did it my way, with a little bit of class intelligence and a lot of integrity and that im closing on my terms and nobody else's. I knew last September it was time to focus on my family and put training in the back seat and it's been a long way to closing down with a million pieces that need to fall into place, making sure each of my clients have a place to train that process will continue over the coming weeks. Because my passion is helping people connect to fitness and health in a meaningful way in a way they can identify with it, connect to their body and begin to love movement. There are many more things coming up but the day to day connections I will miss immensely.
It's actually taken me all day to write this I've stopped and started written and erased. But as I scroll thru the 3,000 picture in my phone my heart is instantly lifted my anxiety melted there are very few pictures of my clients very few of the studio or my trainers. There are however thousands of three of the most precious things in my life, they're my why they're my driving force. I am so happy to give them these years because I know they'll be over too quickly and I'll never get them back. So I'll happily go from 40 hrs of changing lives to 24/7 of impacting the only 3 that matter in the long run. Thank you to everyone who has made an impact on me and my trainers. Thank you to Dominique Brian Renee maybelline Kristy Julie and Steve who have helped me over the years bring my vision to life. Thank you to Dr Brent Smih, Dr Jeff Paulson. Drs. Palmer, Dr Damian, Dr Dustin Glass , Dr Pascious, Dr Thom, Dr Vienuto and the numerous other therapists and physicians who have entrusted me with their patients over the years. And most importantly thank you to all of the clients who have entrusted me with their broken bodies to put them back together, entrusted me with their broken spirits to let me lead them to a happier healthier place. I won't say good bye I will say, until we meet again.

Hi friends,
As some of you have heard, the rumors are true, I am in
process of closing my studio.
This decision did not come lightly. I started
thinking about it last September but I promised myself that I wouldn't act on it until I was no longer hormonal, pregnant and grouchy. Then Oct. and Nov. came and life with 3 kids and a husband that is gone half the week began. I've been
searching for a new nanny for over a year (it's very hard to convince someone to get to your house at 5 am to watch your kids). Everything seemed to fall into a perfect storm.

I started this studio with no money, very little equipment and a handful of faithful clients. We together over the last 5 years, built something I am very proud of. So it is with bittersweet news that I announce On May 15 the studio as it is now will close down.

You can't always get what you want in life, but I only have 1
shot to make this whole parenting thing work. 1 shot to not royally mess my kids up. There will only be 1 first year of kindergarten, 1 first time learning to read and ride bikes. I can't go back and have those moments again but I can always go back and have a business.

I have found a wonderful trainer to take over the
space. He will be moving his business in sometime in May. I will continue to train two early mornings a week. My hours will go from 40 to less then 10.

Most of our members will be switching over to a gofitted.com membership that they can use to train with myself Brian, Renee, or Stephen the new trainer taking the space.

I will be continuing to run the fit camp revolution, every
other month and we have a lot of different trainers we will be working with for that.

If you are interested in following my fitness reviews of Orange County you can friend me here. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100009478203694&fref=ts

I know this comes as a shock to many of you but I do
Thank you for your support. It's been an honor to train you, help heal your body and guide you on your fitness journey.

I especially want to thank the people
who have made the last few years possible.
My husband Jesse with his
infinite patients and For being Mr mom while I work.
Steve and Julie Finnegan who believed in me and helped me develop administrative systems so I
could focus on my clients.
Dominique Carver, Brian Ahlers, Renee Wieckert, you guys are
Friends, former interns turned amazing trainers. You guys have been awesome.

And to everyone who has ever heard me preach about fitness as a lifestyle, injury prevention or injury recovery systems. I'll always be here to answer your questions and guide you to the right answer. There are a lot of amazing trainers
in south Orange County. My plan is to go find them, interview them, workout with
then and lead you to them.
